ESPN has announced a few new fights that will air on ESPN platforms. WBO featherweight champion Emanuel Navarrete will meet Joet Gonzalez on October 16. Also, Vasyl Lomachenko will return on December 11 at Madison Square Garden.
After his world title trilogy with Joshua Franco, super flyweight Andrew Moloney has already set his sights on a route back to being a world champion. He is taking aim at WBO champion Kazuta Ioka. Ioka is already lined up to face Francisco Rodriguez Jr. and Moloney is hoping to be next.
Another interesting tidbit from ESPN is the IBF is requiring Teofimo Lopez and George Kambosos to be vaccinated by September 7. Apparently it’s in the contract. Will this be a new trend?
YouTuber Jake Paul named Tyson Fury’s brother Tommy Fury as possibly his next opponent. Fury (6-0, 4 KOs) is on Sunday’s Paul-Woodley undercard.
Jake Paul will eventually lose.
I cannot wait. 🙂
If he pads his record he can go 89-0-1.
Would Fury be the guy to defeat him? His competition is terrible as well. 14-175-5
Good luck Andrew! Whoever is left standing between Ioka and Rodriguez will be a better fighter than Franco.
Lopez just had covid. Him getting the vaccine while still having antibodies could result in a bad reaction.
“Science” seems to be on the window now and they just want to stick everyone with this vaccine that doesn’t prevent transmission or spreading.
Jay, 100% on that. Lopez should’ve never signed that contract. Mandating something like that is bullcrap.
I’m not sure Fury is gonna be the one to beat Paul, padded record too but he is less skilled than Paul in my opinion.
Requiring fighters to take the covid jab now? Just when you thought boxing couldn’t be any more dead, this would finally kill it.
