Promoter Eddie Hearn says he wants to fight between Andy Cruz Invainu and the light champion of WBO Keyshawn Davis. The matchroom promoter, Hearn, declares that Keyshawn (13-0, 9 KB) has no one who is available for him now to fight his sworn enemy, Cruz (5-0, 2 KB).

Keyshawn captured the 135 LB WBO belt last month, eliminating the Champion Denys Berinchyk in the fourth round on February 14 at Madison Square Garden in New York. Although Davis has talked about how the new WBO champion will change his life in terms of big fights falling on his lap, as Isaac ‘Pitbull’ CruzIt did not happen.
Unless Top Rande can offer an offer large enough to attract Pitbull, there is no one popular enough for an interesting fight for Keyshawn. Maybe he doesn’t care. He has never fought anyone popular since he became pro and has spent a large part of the time talking about what life will be when he beats Gervonta Davis one of these days. He always dreams.
Keyshawn does not want to build himself in a fight against tank by facing the most emission talents. He just wants the fight to be given to him on a silver set according to his victories on lower level fighters.
Andy Cruz Fight
The most realistic fight for Keyshawn is Andy Cruz, his conqueror quadruple, but he will have to be courageous because he did not want to be part of the fight against the talented Cuban since he became pro since he became pro in 2023. Cruz called him the first day without luck.
He was whipped four times in amateurs by Cruz, and he realizes that he never would have him, no matter what size he becomes. Keyshawn seems to be an average weight soon, because he is enormous after he rehydrates for his fights. For his latest fight against little Berinchyk, 36, he looked like an average junior weight on the night of combat.
Poor Berinchyk never had a chance with such a big guy. It is a shame that the four sanction organizations do not have a rehydration clause of 10 LB like the IBF, because it makes it impossible the combatants who face weight intimidators.
Cruz is classified n ° 1 WBC, # 3 IBF, # 3 WBA and # 9 WBO. Interestingly, Hearn is not pressure for the Light WBC champion Shakur Stevenson Cruz, but it’s understandable. Hearn tries to align the fight Gervonta Davis for Shakur, and the last thing he needs is that Andy Cruz beats him before fighting.
Eddie dust
“We want to push Andy Cruz in a big fight. There have been some conversations on a possible fight in Riyadh in Saudi Arabia or in a Ring magazine show, “Eddie Hearn told @Cesareda. “We would like to make a Keyshawn Davis fight. I look at Keyshawn’s options. Who is there for him to fight who is available?
“It’s also an excellent fight,” said Hearn about Floyd Schofield being an option for Andy Cruz. “Schofield missed Shakur Stevenson’s fight. Why not fight Andy Cruz? It’s a big fight. This fight would be in July, but we would like to get it [Cruz] Back a little earlier.
“Obviously, he has just fought in January [against Omar Salcido]. May or June would be good for Andy, ”said Hearn.
Floyd Schofield would probably not want to fight Andy Cruz because he learns that Shakur Stevenson will look at himself and will throw a bone. He will not want to spoil his chances of a pay day against Shakur by fighting Cruz and schooling.
