The light champion IBF, Raymond Muratalla, and the 3 -ranked contestant, Floyd Schofield, are in negotiations for a struggle in November in Dazn.
Muratalla (23-0, 17 kos) had been in negotiations with his mandatory IBF, Andy Cruz, but the conversations failed in a money dispute. Thus, instead of facing the Olympic Olympic Gold Medalist Cruz, the highest rank promoted by Muratalla, 28, will make a voluntary defense against Schofield (19-0, 13 kos).
Manouk Akopyan reported the news X Today, August 27, 2025, of the Muratalla negotiating with Schofield. It is a struggle that will create interest with fans. Schofield, 23, comes to the victory of the first surprise round about the former IBF champion Super Feather Pweight, Tevin Farmer, on June 28, 2025, in Anaheim, California.
Farmer, 35, entered Schofield’s struggle after losing consecutive decisions of the knife to William Zepeda. It was expected that the veteran would give a lot of problems to Shofield and win him. The farmer took many punishments on both Zepeda fights. Entering directly in a clash against the big blow, Schofield turned out to be a mistake for Tevin.
It is not a surprise that Muratalla’s promoters at Top Rank opines to fight Schofield instead of Cuban Andy Cruz. Cruz’s technical skills would make it difficult to land their power features. With the still -experienced Schofield, Muratalla has a better chance of winning.
Schofield does not have the same amateur credentials as Cruz. His record as an amateur was 40-17. Instead, Cruz’s record was 140-9, including an Olympic gold medal by 2020.
The Top Rank’s promoters of Muratalla do not yet have a dissemination agreement after the contract with ESPN expired last month on July 26. Therefore, if the Muratalla vs. Schofield, will be displayed in Dazn. Schofield promoters in Golden Boy have an agreement with Dazn to show their letters on this platform.
Muratalla was recently elevated to the £ 135 champion state on June 9 after the previous champion, Vasily Lomachenko, retired. Earlier, Matalla had been the temporary IBF champion after winning this title with a unanimous 12 -round decision on Zaur Abdullav on May 10 in San Diego, California.
