McCrory's Boxing Jackpot Hearn Dangles Canelo Carrot in Front of Rising Star
In a surprising twist, Padraig McCrory's breakthrough fight may not unfold in the glitzy boxing capital of Las Vegas, but according to Eddie Hearn, it's still a golden opportunity for the Belfast super middleweight. Set to clash with Edgar Berlanga in Orlando on Saturday night, McCrory's pivotal moment on the DAZN stage could be the key to hitting the boxing jackpot, as Hearn puts it. Eddie Hearn, the influential Matchroom promoter, sees this bout as a game-changer for 'The Hammer.' With Berlanga as a formidable opponent, victory for McCrory could potentially open doors to high-profile matchups against the likes of Jaime Munguia and even the legendary Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez. "If Padraig McCrory wins that fight, he has swum the channel and won the Euromillions in the same night," Hearn enthused, emphasizing the colossal impact a victory would have on McCrory's career trajectory. The Belfast fighter, under the guidance of trainer Dee Walsh, has steadily climbed the rankings, currently holding the impressive position of number 3 with the WBO and a top-10 standing with other governing bodies. Hearn recognizes the potential difficulty in marketing this intense matchup to a broader audience, labeling it "X-rated" in terms of its competitiveness. However, he assures those who understand the sport that McCrory vs. Berlanga is a thrilling encounter with high stakes for both fighters. As McCrory steps into the ring, all eyes will be on whether he can seize this chance and propel himself into the upper echelons of the super middleweight division. The allure of potential bouts against Munguia and Canelo adds an extra layer of excitement to what promises to be a blockbuster showdown in Orlando. #mccroryboxingjackpot #eddiehearndazzles #berlangaclash #boxingrisingstar #orlandofightnight #matchroomboxing
