Almost two weeks ago, information about leaving Edgar Berlangi (20-0, 16 KOs) from the promotional organization Top Rank. The head of the company, the indestructible Bob Arum, recently spoke about the departure of a promising boxer.
Today, Keith Connolly, the manager of the New York puncher with Puerto Rican roots, is in talks to collaborate with Eddie Hearn and Oscar De La Hoya. At the same time, the head of Top Rank claims that he does not regret Berlanga's departure.
“His ambitions and aspirations were too great. We looked at things differently and did not want to hold him by force. Berlanga was determined to raise the bar quickly, although we ourselves believed that he was not yet ready. He is a good guy, but we just have a different philosophy of managing our boxers, it is different from his desires, ”said Arum.
Earlier, Jesse Hart (28-3, 22 KOs), a two-time WBO super middleweight contender, claimed that at some point Bob Arum tried to arrange a fight with Berlanga, but he allegedly refused, demanding fights with the elite of the 76 weight category .2 kg for much more money.
