Yesterday about retirement
announced ex-leader of the second bantamweight (up to 55.3 kg) American Daniel Roman (29-4-1, 10 KOs).
In 2017, he went to Japan and took the WBA belt from the local champion Shun Kubo, and then made his debut defense there. After two more successful title defenses, he won the unification of the IBF champion Australian T-Jay Dohany.
In 2020, he lost the titles to the obligatory challenger Murodjon Akhmadaliev from Uzbekistan for a thin one. In 2022, he fought for the WBC / WBO belts with compatriot Stephen Fulton – he lost without a chance, almost by one wicket.
Today, promotional bidding for two extremely interesting fights will take place:
– the organizer of the fight for the vacant WBC super lightweight title (up to 63.5 kg) between the Americans Regis Prograis (27-1, 23 KOs) and Jose Cepeda (35-2, 27 KOs) will be determined.
The first is represented by the company Probellumand the second Top Rank. The piquancy of the situation is that earlier the boss Top Rank Bob Arum promised not to cooperate with the fighters Probellum (due to the fact that the company is suspected of having links with crime boss Daniel Kinahan);
– the organizer of the IBF light heavyweight eliminator (up to 79.4 kg) between the British prospect Joshua Buatsy (16-0, 13 KOs) and the former champion from Canada Jean Pascal (36-6-1, 20 KOs) will be determined.
