Muratalla-Cruz Fight off

Mike Coppinger Reports That The 2020 Olympic Gold MedalistCruz, Was “on board,” And He Left It At That, Hinting That It was Muratalla’s Side That didn’t want the Fight.

That would be a bad look on Muratalla’s Part IF HE VACATES OR IS IS STRIPPED OF HIS IBF TITLE FOR FAILING TO DEFENST ANDY CRUZ. Fans On Social Media Believe That He didn’t want to Lose His O. So, He opted Not to Take The Fight With Andy.

Muratalla, 28, Is Missing Out A Golden Opportunity to Prove Himself by Fighting Andy Cruz at the Allalshikh’s Event on November 22nd at The Anb Arena in Riyadh.

Promoter Eddie Hearn Has been About About Who Wants Cruz to Fight Next. He Doesn’t Want To Put Him In The Other Lightweight He’s Promotes, Shakur Stevenson Because He’s Trying Him for A Fight Against Gervis. Andy Would Spoil Things By Beating Shakur, Making Him Look Bad, And Permanently Ruining His Chances Of The Millions HE Would Enjoy Fight.
