Floyd Schofield vs. Joseph Diaz officially established himself as a co-finture for the Vergil Ortiz Jr. -ICKSON Lubin event on November 8

Floyd Schofield will face Joseph ‘Jojo’ Diaz to the combination of co-cinquena on the Vergil Ortiz Jr. vs. Erickson Lubin on November 8 in Dazn at the Dickies Arena of Fort Worth, Texas.

It is a struggle that fans consider an important step for Schofield since their last contest against Tevin Farmer on June 28. Golden Boy’s team, from La Hoya and Eric Gomez promoter, probably chose the old IBF Super Feather champion Diaz 34-8-1, 15 kos) due to his friendly style, hoping that the struggle will be as exciting as his last against Regis programs on August 2 225.

#1 WBA and #3 IBF The 23 -year -old Light Schofield Schofield contestant is still young to be slowly moved by Golden Boy. But at some point, they will have to advance one of the world champions because he is wasting some of his best years in opposition.

The first 130-pound IBF Ex-Champion Schofield Round of € 130 pounds last June should have been a signal that is ready to start fighting high-level fighters. That is why it is amazing that Golden Boy has chosen to combine Diaz, who has lost seven of his last nine fights. This is a record of 2-7 for ‘Jo yo’ Diaz since 2021.

Schofield had the opportunity to challenge WBC light champion, Shakur Stevenson, earlier this year, on February 22, in Riad, Saudi Arabia. However, four days before the fight, Schofield suddenly came out on February 18 due to illness.

This was a lost opportunity because, with its speed and its power, it would have had a good opportunity to disturb Shakur. There has been no interest on the part of Stevenson to give Schofield a second chance to try to fight him. And after the way he forced the farmer to the first round, Schofield will never volunteer against Shakur. Will have to work in a mandatory place.
