What happened to the Australian guy?
He's fighting Bob Arum.
The NSAC has expressed its willingness to actually sanction that one.
Waiting for official confirmation though.
You mean the Horn fight? I thought that was going to be in Dubai or Hong Kong. Why is the NSAC willing to sanction a fight that wasn't suppose to happen in Nevada?
No.
I mean that he's literally fighting Bob Arum.
Bob done lost his mind and is claiming this is a 50-50 fight. Oscar De La Hoya's offered to be the one training him cuz he's claiming he's got the Blueprint to Beat Manny or something.
Plus he's promising a fight with Canelo if Bob wins......or looses. Canelo has confirmed this on his official Twitter handle. He said (and I quote) "Let's do this, senor. It's for our legacy, man. Mehicans don fk around, ese !" and "Yo quiro Tac....Bob Arum, andale andale, Areeeba !"
Golovkin was, in his interview on the BBC said verbatim "This is a direct and disconcerting attack on my stated position of assimilating all the sport of boxing titles. I and the people of Kazakhstan are supremely disappointed in the continuing shenanigans of Canelo Alvarez."
Freddy Roach though is guaranteeing a Manny knockout. But with his track record.....I dunno. Could be Wolf Tickets.
Memo Heredia's in competition with the Team That Built the Six Million Dollar Man to be the S&C / Nutrition trainer for Team Arum.
Steve Smoger might be the official ref.
That's all I know.
