Hello boxing fans around the world thanks for joining us once again here on talk and fight for another edition of boxing news headlines, courtesy of our friends across the blonde boxing 247.
com first off, our big story of the day involves that terence crawford and his lawsuit against Bob aaron recently filed in nevada, as we all know, terence crawford bud crawford, has enjoyed a 10-year career with top rank after signing with bobby arms company back in 2011.
, he’s gone on to a professional undefeated record 39-0, but after his last uh tko over sean porter.
In november he decided to split ways with bob now very recently, as in the past 24 hours, a lawsuit has come to light and he alleges uh racial bias, quite frankly, which is going to have quite an impact on the boxing community.
If, in fact, this goes to court as the lawsuit is now public, it has been published by various media outlets, crawford claims, a breach of contract and fraudulent and negligent misrepresentation, given his history of difficulty, uh producing fights against top competitors in his division.
The the champion also discussed comments made by aaron against him, as well as a lack of commitment to secure fights against the bc and ibf ultimate champion errol spence jr, among others.
The lawsuit went on to allege the following regarding aram and top rank, and i quote for years, professional boxers and others in the sports world have called out top ranks owner bob arum for his disparate treatment of black boxers, including those very same black boxers.
That top rank is contractually obligated to promote, because this is boxing a sport with a checkered history and because aaron is now dismissed as just a grumpy old white man.
Aaron continues to make racist and bigoted statements and purposely so purposefully damaged reputations of black boxers.
Without any consequences, this is generally because the affected boxers, who are in long-term contracts with top rank, fear that if they speak up, they will be placed on the sideline and not give the opportunity to fight during the life of their deal, which could be five to Seven years it is painfully clear that top frank and especially aram judges, people based on their race, aaron’s, sorted history with athletes of color, especially black fighters and his bias.
Favoring white and latino fighters is well documented and known throughout the boxing world.
Wow now keep in mind.
Terence crawford has made millions of dollars in his various fights over the years.
For example, in 2018, crawford made 3.
5 million against jose benavidez jr and 4.
8 million against amir khan.
In 2020, he was paid to 3.
5 million to fight kell brook and with only one fight in 2019.
Crawford reportedly owed 4.
5 million for a second fight not being booked, and this is all keep in mind during the covet pandemic.

The big names they’ve proved uh the big names they have proves.
What mptk can do and i’m looking forward to making my own name under them? Speaking of names, i’m going to end off today’s episode with some quotes from zach parker? I am coming with the smoke he said and zach was promoted in a profile episode of knuckle up by my core back in november, or no no october of last year.
Zach parker believes he has demetrius andrade running scared after the two-weight world champion duck out of a big showdown against the derby man.
Parker is the number one contender for the wbo super middleweight title held by the division’s undisputed champion.
Canelo alvarez the wwbo ordered unbeaten parker to face andrade for their interim world title.
But last week the american decided against facing zach andrade, says he’ll keep his wbo middleweight world championship instead of facing the faster emerging british star who has knocked out all of his last five opponents says: parker people call him the bogeyman, but i must be the problem In the way, i don’t think he fancies it and parker hopes uh the country manager wayne rooney will carry his wbo international delta ring for his next fight.
He told uh devsani on lowdown, hopefully i’ll push on and fight for the interim next title from what i gather andre said.
He doesn’t really fancy it and we’ll stay at middleweight, he’s really fighter a 2a champion undefeated and doesn’t know how to lose, but he would be coming up to super middleweight, which is a lot bigger than middleweight.
These middleweights feel the difference in power when they step up.
It would be a really good fight.
If it came around, i would be more than willing to take it, and hopefully we could get it to britain.
I think he will stay at middleweight people don’t like.
Switching switch hitting and i hit hard with both hands.
It scares people off andre, probably thought he would come up and go straight into the fight with canelo, but the wbo says we have to fight first, it’s good word by frank warren who’s.
Fighting my case saying i should be next for canelo, i’m open to boxing anyone.
People should be wanting to box me now, i’m a mandatory for canelo and there you go.
That’S all the news fit to print today.
Thank you for joining me remember to like share subscribe.
I look forward to seeing you again tomorrow at 11 a.
m and later this afternoon, with knuckle up at my core at 4pm
