Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn: I Have a Promotional Option on Julius Indongo

[Eff Pandas]

Surprised he didn't mentioned Crawford at all. Is a co-promoted Matchroom/Top Rank fight not plausible for some reason here I'm overlooking? There a Hearn/Arum beef going on? That seems like the only fight & the fight that'd pay out the best...unless Hearn thinks one of his not ready for prime time players at 140 are prime time ready I suppose.

Also f#ck boxing with this options bs all the time that clogs things up & make it so slow moving & dated. I wish promoter contracts were all one time deals with the intention of making the best fights possible every time out. Then moving a boxer along wasn't seen as a long term investment for a promoter anymore & putting forth the best show possible for maximum impact on all revenue sources was the goal event to event.

Well so much for an undisputed champ at 140.

[My Low Place]

well he has mandatories so it looks like he signed one or maybe both of his belts away.

..unless eddie's option gets bought out...

i hate boxing tbh..why tf does a title holder have to come to your backyard and give you options on him after he beats your fighter just to get a dawgon fight..

hell if indongo didnt beat him a mandatory soon would

[A.K]

Who gives af the division is a joke right now Crawford needs to stop wasting time and move up.

I'd favour Crolla or Ohara over Indongo, it's an easy gimme fight.

Crolla is too small and nearing the end of his career.

Davies is slow and robotic but carries some power and is a good sized light welter, so it would be interesting.

Either way, I'd love to see Indo back in a British ring.

forgot that Ohara Davies was with Matchroom Sport.

Beyond that, the IBF has yet to call for their mandatory, so I'm fairly certain that the timing could be worked out between Hearn and Haymon to deliver both of the fights.

James DeGale is due for a fight once the injuries clear up, and he's well beyond due for a homecoming, tbh

DeGale-Dirrell II
Indongo-Davies
Lipinets-Burns

Stage it from the O2 Arena in London, fill in the show with fights relevant to the UK audience, sell the rights to the three fights to Showtime, and set it for some time in September.

Beating Ricky Burns suddenly makes you world class level?
Beating Burns is no different to beating someone like Macklin or Martin Murray right now, both spent forces, the Ricky Burns before Beltran I doubt would lose to someone as bad as Indongo.

Well mate Burns was world champion so yes it does ....simple answer to a daft question .Not to say Burns was the best champion that ever lived .Just a decent boxer with a good chin and massive heart....but like i've said this lad will take a very top level fighter to beat him ...like a Crawford!

[Corelone]

Eddie? The "we have a side deal" Eddie? I hope Inongo read the small print

Ohara supposed to be on the June 3rd Dillian Whyte card next, last thing I see him tell Josh Taylor to get his people to contact Hearn he wants him next, although thats probably out the window now
