Eddie Hearn’s Fast-Tracked Andy Cruz Faces Hironori Mishiro For IBF Lightweight Title Shot Opportunity

Andy Cruz has the opportunity to lock himself as mandatory for the lightweight IBF champion Raymond Moratala if he is victorious in the IBF title against Heronori Michairo on Saturday, June 14. Cruz (5-0, 2 KOS) Mishiro (17-1-1, 6 KOS) at the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York. The event will be shown on Dazn.
Cruz: Better than the main event
Andy cruz vs. Hironori Mishiro is the 12 -way support game on the Richardson Hitchins and George Kambosos Jr. Some fans may argue that this should be the main event because Cruz is a much better talent than heterogeneous, Hitchens, and the dull championship, Campusus.
Muratalla (23-0, 17 KOS) was raised to the full IBF champion after Vasily Lomachenko. Now, he may have to deal with Andy Cruz as a mandatory opponent if the Cuban star won on Saturday against Michairo.
Muratalla will not evacuate his IBF title, but it may not end well for him if he faces Cruz. The defense of the title is likely to stop Cruz for as long as possible. IBF MURATALLA will be given from 9 to 12 months to defense against Andy before moving to strip him.
Salisido: twin for the style of Muratala
In the recent battle of Cruz, he defeated a similar fighter for Muratala, the great age of Salisido, on January 25, approaching his closure in a heterogeneous victory from 10 rounds unanimously. SALCIDO was a pure version of Muratalla in terms of power and method of fighting. He seemed helpless against Cruz.
Herne, fast, Andy Cruz
Cruz has been avoided since it turned into Pro after winning the Olympic Gold Medal for 2020 against Keyshawn Davis. The way the Cuban talent was taught Cruz in that battle made him a person deviating among professionals. Cruz was wise to sign with the promoter Eddie Herne, who quickly followed him to get this IBF title after only five battles. Herne believes that Cruz is just a “A couple of battles” Away from the challenge for the world title.
It is doubtful why IBF gave the Mishiro A #5 rating with their organization, because its victories may oppose less exclusive opponents. There is no single victory over his eight -year CV for Mesireo, which was against a first -class fighter. In 2023, Mishiro lost to a fighter named Min Ho Jung (19-5-2, 5 KOS).
The last six opponents of the Mesireo
Hinata Marotta
– Kazuki Miamoto
– Shuma Nakazato
Heromasa Urakawa
– Yongchao sheng
– My country is Young
It does not look good for Machero in front of Cruz on Saturday night. Unless Mishiro shows some hidden talents that he kept in his entire career, he will lose badly.
