My latest for Bible of Boxing:
Announced during presser, partnernship between Riyadh Season and WBA.
Feel like every boxing narrative that's been carried at least Twitter/X has been in existence is being severely tested during this press conference. #RiyadhSeasonCard
Rayo Valenzuela acknowledges that he was in camp preparing for Edwin De Los Santos rematch, when he got the call for chance to face newly crowned WBA 140 lb. titlist Isaac 'Pitbull' Cruz. #RiyadhSeasonCard
Still not used to Al Haymon and 'His Excellency' (Turki Alalshikh) being thanked in the same sentence, never mind in the same convo. Two mentions and counting so far at this press conference. #RiyadhSeasonCard
Press conf underway for Aug. 3 #RiyadhSeasonCard . Announced lineup:
Israil Madrimov-Terence Crawford
Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz-Jose ‘Rayo’ Valenzuela
Andy Ruiz-Jarrell Miller
Andy Cruz-Antonio Moran
David Morrell-Radivoje Kalajdzic
Potentially to come:
Tim Tszyu-Vergil Ortiz Jr.
My Bible of Boxing story on Matchroom Boxing claiming promotional rights to Jaron 'Boots' Ennis-Cody Crowley IBF welterweight title fight. Matchroom ($3,910,000) nearly doubled up TGB ($2,000,000) during today's purse bid.
