"Trainer's Urgent Plea: Deontay Wilder Must Keep His Focus! Anthony Joshua Rumors Swirl"
In the world of heavyweight boxing, Deontay Wilder is a name that commands attention. Yet, as speculation swirls around a potential clash with Anthony Joshua, Wilder's trainer, Malik Scott, is reminding him to keep his eye on the prize.
After a 14-month hiatus, Wilder made his return to the ring in December, but faced a setback with a loss to Joseph Parker. Now, with his sights potentially set on a matchup against Zhilei Zhang, Scott is urging Wilder not to let the rumors distract him.
"While Deontay may still have his sights set on AJ, we are currently preparing for a highly challenging fight," Scott explained. "We must prioritize the present moment, particularly after our recent performance. I want his attention solely on defeating Zhang."
Scott emphasized the need for Wilder to channel his energy towards his upcoming opponent, highlighting the importance of Wilder’s mindset in the ring.
"We cannot afford any distractions. Deontay is returning with a vengeance. In the fight against Joseph Parker, he seemed passive, unable to unleash his full potential. But now, facing Zhang’s formidable size, power, and danger, Deontay is motivated to showcase his best performance."
As the boxing world eagerly awaits Wilder’s next move, all eyes are on his upcoming bout against Zhang. Can Wilder reclaim his former glory? Only time will tell.

Nevada State Athletic Commission Suspends Sebastian Fundora Until September.
Sebastian Fundora, the new WBO and WBC junior middleweight titleholder, has been dealt a setback after the Nevada State Athletic Commission suspended him from fighting until late September.
This decision was made in light of Fundora's broken nose suffered during his recent victory over Tim Tszyu. As a result, the WBO's order for Fundora to negotiate a title defense against Terence Crawford and potential matchups with other opponents have been thrown into uncertainty.
In a statement, a WBO official explained the situation, saying, “When a WBO champion suffers an injury, the Championship Committee issues a letter titled 'Interim Medical Certification' whereby the fighter through his representative(s) is required to submit in writing to the WBO a detailed medical report of his injury and his physician’s findings and prognosis, including his recovery time period.”

"‘Pitbull’ Cruz: Boxing’s New Rising Star?"
Isaac 'Pitbull' Cruz is making waves in the boxing world, with renowned analyst Paulie Malignaggi dubbing him the "second hottest Mexican fighter" after his recent knockout victory against Rolando 'Rolly' Romero. The electrifying performance had fans roaring at the T-Mobile Arena, overshadowing even the main event fight between Tim Tszyu and Sebastian Fundora.
Now, attention turns to Cruz's next opponent. Standing at 5'4", he may need to consider a move down from the 140-pound division for the most lucrative matchups against the likes of Teofimo Lopez or Ryan Garcia. While a rematch with Gervonta 'Tank' Davis could also be intriguing, logistical challenges may need to be addressed.
Malignaggi praises Cruz's relentless fighting style, highlighting his dependability in delivering entertaining bouts. However, he also acknowledges Cruz's vulnerabilities against boxers who can outmaneuver him, as seen in previous matches.
Despite the challenges, Cruz's rise in prominence within the Mexican boxing scene is undeniable. With comparisons to the legendary Canelo Alvarez, he's capturing attention and generating excitement among fans and pundits alike.
As Cruz navigates his career path, one thing remains certain: his tenacity and entertaining style ensure that every fight he enters is a spectacle worth watching.

Is The Haney – Garcia Interest Flatlining? Ticket Sales Tell A Sad Story
Devin Haney finds himself in a tough spot as ticket sales for his upcoming fight against Ryan Garcia at the Barclays Center seem to be struggling. Despite his efforts on social media to drum up support, fans are showing little interest in purchasing tickets, with the venue map displaying plenty of available seats.
The lackluster response raises questions about Haney's appeal and whether his fighting style, likened to a mix of Shakur Stevenson and Tyson Fury, fails to captivate audiences. Adding to the concern is the dismal performance of his last fight against Regis Prograis, which reportedly garnered only 50K PPV buys and saw complimentary tickets being distributed.
Ryan Garcia may be experiencing buyer's remorse, regretting his decision to face Haney. With the poor ticket sales indicating a lack of interest, Garcia might have chosen the wrong opponent. In hindsight, a matchup against the more entertaining and arguably more popular WBO 140-lb champion Teofimo Lopez could have been a better choice, potentially resulting in higher ticket sales and PPV buys.
The dwindling ticket sales also raise doubts about the potential success of the fight on DAZN. If fans are not willing to invest in tickets, it's unlikely they'll be eager to purchase PPV, spelling trouble for Haney. Even if he emerges victorious, the lack of support from fans could deal a significant blow to his career, highlighting his struggles to connect with audiences due to his lack of charisma and perceived boring fighting style.
In the face of these challenges, Haney must reassess his approach to garnering fan support and revitalizing his career in the competitive world of boxing.

Crawford vs. Fundora: Battle for the WBO Junior Middleweight Belt Heats Up
In a whirlwind of developments within the world of boxing, Terence Crawford finds himself in the spotlight once again, this time for a shot at the WBO junior middleweight belt. With former champion Tim Tszyu sidelined, the WBO has ordered a purse bid for a potential clash between Crawford and the newly crowned champion Sebastian Fundora.
The WBO has mandated a 20-day negotiating window between Fundora and Crawford, set to begin on Friday, April 5th. However, there's a twist in the tale as Tszyu holds a rematch clause with Fundora, which could complicate matters. Promoter Sampson Lewkowicz has voiced his intentions to delay the rematch, citing the need to "maximize the money for Fundora".
But there's another contender in the mix - former unified welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr. Fresh off placing his bid into the Fundora sweepstakes, Spence Jr. has thrown down the gauntlet, challenging the newly crowned champion. This adds another layer of intrigue to the already complex situation.
Opting to face Spence Jr. instead of Crawford could potentially lead to Fundora being stripped of the WBO belt. However, this may not deter Lewkowicz, who believes a fight with Spence Jr. holds more appeal due to his drawing power.
In response, Crawford has made it clear that Spence Jr. needs to get behind him if he wants a shot at the action. With tensions rising and stakes escalating, the question of who will ultimately fight for the belts will be answered by the end of this month.
Stay tuned as the drama unfolds in the world of boxing, with Crawford, Fundora, and Spence Jr. vying for supremacy in the ring.

"Ishmael Davis Targets Agyarko Showdown After Stellar Victory!"
In a recent bout that shook the boxing world, Ishmael Davis showcased his prowess by outpointing former British junior middleweight champion Troy Williamson over 12 rounds on March 23. Davis's standout performance not only secured victory but also catapulted him into the spotlight, positioning him as the mandatory challenger for the British junior middleweight title.
Eyeing his next challenge, Davis revealed his intention to face off against fellow British boxer Caoimhin Agyarko in a highly anticipated domestic clash. However, Agyarko, who is currently focused on pursuing the European title held by Abass Baraou, expressed his reluctance to engage in a bout with Davis unless significant stakes were involved.
While acknowledging Davis's impressive display against Williamson, Agyarko noted the former champion's apparent decline, suggesting that Davis faced a diminished version of his previous opponent. Despite this observation, Agyarko commended Davis's performance, acknowledging his skill and dedication to the sport.
Davis's journey to success is even more remarkable considering his limited experience in the amateur ranks, having transitioned to the professional scene after just one fight. Drawing parallels to former MMA star Darren Till, who is reportedly transitioning to boxing, Agyarko praised Davis's dedication and development in the sport.
With Davis's victory and aspirations for future challenges, the boxing world eagerly anticipates the next chapter in his burgeoning career, eager to witness his continued rise in the ranks.

"MASSIVE SHOWDOWN: Ernesto Mercado Ready to Shine on DAZN!"
Ernesto "Tito" Mercado, crowned Boxing Scene's 2023 Prospect of the Year, is poised to dazzle on a larger stage as he headlines a Red Owl Boxing event on DAZN. With an impressive record of 14-0, Mercado aims to showcase his talent and solidify his status as a rising star in the boxing world.
The 22-year-old fighter from Pomona, California, has been on a tear since turning pro in 2021, knocking out notable opponents such as former world title challengers Hank Lundy, Jeremiah Nakathila, and Jayson Velez. Despite his dominant performances, Mercado has yet to sign with a promoter, primarily competing in smaller shows across Southern California.
Now, Mercado looks to make a breakthrough on DAZN, facing off against Deiner Berrio in a 10-round junior welterweight bout. Berrio, a seasoned 33-year-old Colombian contender, presents a new challenge for Mercado, having never been stopped in his career.
Mercado acknowledges the importance of gaining more experience in the ring, expressing a desire to go more rounds despite his knack for quick knockouts. With just 39 rounds under his belt, Mercado, trained by his father Neto Mercado, remains focused on honing his skills and proving himself on the big stage.
As Mercado prepares to step into the spotlight, anticipation builds for what promises to be an electrifying showdown between two talented fighters. With his sights set on victory and a statement-making performance, Mercado is ready to seize the moment and show the world what he's truly capable of.

"MIND-BLOWING DISCOVERY: Tszyu vs. Fundora Fight Stoppage Exposed!"
Boxing pundit Tim Bradley has weighed in on the controversial decision by Tim Tszyu's corner not to stop the fight against Sebastian Fundora, despite a severe cut sustained by Tszyu. Bradley criticizes the corner's lack of action and suggests that pride may have clouded their judgment.
Bradley emphasizes the severity of the cut, noting that while it wasn't life-threatening, it significantly impaired Tszyu's vision. Despite the ringside doctor repeatedly asking Tszyu if he could see, Tszyu's determination to continue likely influenced the decision to let the fight proceed.
In Bradley's opinion, the responsibility ultimately falls on the corner, who he believes lacked understanding of the rules and failed to prioritize Tszyu's well-being. Bradley suggests that had he been in Tszyu's corner, he would have stopped the fight after the third or fourth round to protect his fighter.
However, Bradley acknowledges the complexities of the situation, recognizing that a fighter's pride and determination often play a significant role in such decisions. Ultimately, the controversy surrounding Tszyu's corner's actions raises questions about the duty of coaches to prioritize their fighters' safety above all else.

"SHOCKING! Ryan Garcia's Sparring Controversy Before Devin Haney Clash!"
Ryan Garcia's recent social media post showcasing sparring footage has ignited criticism from fans and pundits alike. The clip, featuring Garcia dropping a sparring partner with a left-fight combination, has drawn skepticism over its authenticity.
Despite Garcia's upcoming fight against Devin Haney on April 20th, the knockdown in the video appeared questionable to many observers, resembling more of a staged performance than a genuine feat. Speculation swirls around the identity of the sparring partner, with some suggesting it could be lightweight Frank Martin, who shares the same trainer as Garcia.
Critics have lambasted Garcia for what they perceive as a classless act of flaunting his dominance over a less fortunate sparring partner. The backlash highlights concerns about the ethics of posting such footage, particularly when the disparity in wealth and status between the fighters is so stark.
Garcia's response to the backlash has been met with further scrutiny, as he defended his actions by asserting his right to share the footage and dismissing the criticism as unwarranted. However, the controversy has overshadowed any positive aspects of the footage, such as Garcia's purported improvement in his right-hand technique.
As Garcia continues his preparations for the Haney fight, the backlash serves as a reminder of the scrutiny and expectations that come with his status as a rising star in boxing.

WBO ORDERS SEBASTIAN FUNDORA TO FACE TERENCE CRAWFORD IN EPIC SHOWDOWN!
In a stunning upset, Sebastian Fundora clinched the WBO junior middleweight title by defeating Tim Tszyu in a brutal battle in Las Vegas. But there's no time to rest for Fundora as the WBO has ordered him to face the formidable Terence Crawford. Crawford, known for his unbeatable record, is stepping up to the junior middleweight division for the first time, setting the stage for an epic showdown.
The World Boxing Organization (WBO) has mandated that Fundora defend his title against Crawford within 180 days. Negotiations must commence promptly, with a 20-day window for the camps to reach an agreement. Failure to do so will trigger purse bid proceedings, with a minimum bid set at $200,000.
The prospect of Fundora facing Crawford, one of the greatest fighters of our time, is tantalizing. Fundora's towering 6'5" frame will give him a significant height advantage, but Crawford's track record speaks for itself. The Nebraska native boasts an impeccable record, having conquered multiple weight divisions with ease.
While Fundora's victory over Tszyu was impressive, Crawford presents an entirely different challenge. Known for his speed, precision, and ring intelligence, Crawford is a master tactician who adapts seamlessly to his opponent's style.
If Crawford can capitalize early as Tszyu did, Fundora could find himself in trouble. However, Fundora has proven his resilience in the ring, showcasing both skill and heart in his battles.
This matchup promises to be a riveting spectacle, showcasing two elite athletes at the peak of their powers. Sports fans worldwide will be eagerly anticipating this clash of titans.
