Hearn suggests shock 'Bam' reitrement
Eddie Hearn has stoked suggestions that Jesse 'Bam' Rodriguez could have a short shelf life, implying the fighter could retire at 30.
The 26-year-old pound-for-pound star challenges Antonio Vargas this weekend for his WBC bantamweight crown down in Arizona.
But Matchroom supremo Hearn has set tongues wagging by suggesting the American may only fight on for a few more years instead.
"He doesn't want to be around for five or six years," he said. "He wants the biggest fights as soon as possible. I think even potentially before that."
Cardenas-Goodman off after one day
Just a day after confirming Ramon Cardenas and Sam Goodman would meet in Australia, the pair's bout has been officially scotched.
The two were due to figure on the undercard of Errol Spence's comeback bout against Tim Tszyu, set to take place later this year.
Instead, promoter Sampson Lewkowicz has confirmed Cardenas will instead fight on a late August show, per a statement to Boxing Scene.
It means Goodman will continue to wait for a next move as he hopes to build his own case for another world title shot before 2026 is up.
Catterall keen on welterweight options
Conor Benn has been aided in securing a world title shot through the power of his name, according to Paulie Malignaggi.
The Briton, son of former world champion Nigel, is set to face WBC welterweight title holder Ryan Garcia - but one veteran isn't impressed.
“If his last name wasn’t Benn, he wouldn’t be anywhere near the level that he is on," Malignaggi told Froch on Fighting.
"He has taken advantage of the name, he has been promoted well, he has been moved well, I don’t think that he is a world-class fighter."
