WBO #12, IBF #7 featherweight Brock Jarvis (19-0, 17 KOs) could be in action against WBO featherweight champion Emanuel Navarrete (33-1, 28 KOs) in Australia in 2021. Promoter Dean Lonergan who has been in talks with Top Rank CEO Bob Arum said.”Jeff Fenech and Brock Jarvis are like a hand in a glove, they’re incredibly tight,” Jarvis’ promoter Dean Lonergan said.
“Brock responds well to Jeff, and Jeff has complete faith in Brock. They’re an unbelievable team and I’m looking forward to seeing how they develop.
“I really like the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney. Jeff Fenech fought there a lot and there is a lot of great Fenech history. It would be pretty damn huge if we can pull this off and get it down there,” Lonergan said.
“Quarantine is something the Americans don’t like to address, but I figure if you can have multi-millionaire tennis players go through two weeks of quarantine, then it shouldn’t be too hard for boxers to do it.
“Bob Arum absolutely loves Sydney and wants to come down. Potentially with the fight being in October, there is plenty of time for a lot of COVID issues to pass.”
Omg Navarette would murder Jarvis. and i am an aussie don’t talk about that fight
Possibly, but there is one thing Jarvis does really well, that seems to be a bit of an Achilles heel for Navarrete. Navarrete don’t like it the body.
Heck of a great match up!
What’s the rush? Jarvis is 23 years old and has absolutely no one on his record in the way of recognizable names. Let him test himself before throwing him in there with Navarrete. Jarvis – Santisima?? Dogboe??
I just read something else that said that Navarrete’s next fight might be against Joet Gonzalez, before the Jarvis fight. That’s a much better opponent and it gives Jarvis a n opportunity to fight someone…. ANYONE!
This is just talk. Promoter Dean Lonergan is simply using Navarrete’s name for clout.
The relationship between Jeff Fenech and Brock Jarvis, the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney, or French history has nothing to do with making this fight happen. Im guessing Mr. Lonergan wasn’t sure how to spend his media time.
what has French history got to with boxing, keep it on the subject 😛
I do not recall seeing Jarvis fight, but his record looks good. I will research his previous fights. I doubt if Navarrete will go to Australia to fight Jarvis. I think this is only yick-yack, and I will firmly believe it, when I see it.
I had a great time in Australia!!
Jarvis in 2!
Navarrete cant fight on the back foot and cant handle body punches, paper champ.
Paper Champ??? You are full of Poop!!! Navarrete is a Killer and destroys all fighters!!! Keep hating trashbaggg
Navarette might pull out of this one. Leaves the door for Anthony Mundine to have one last roll of the dice… beat Jarvis fight the winner of Mayweather v Jake Paul.
