Edgar Berlanga says his Matchroom contract has one “optionally available” battle remaining, and that’s “up within the air” for him. He says he might depart with out taking that last battle, however he hasn’t determined if he’ll.
To get the battle that Berlanga (22-1, 17 KOs needs towards Jaime Munguia, he’ll probably must signal with High Rank as a result of he’s that’s who the Mexican star is with. Munguia already has a battle deliberate for December towards Ronald Gavil. So, the earliest Berlanga might battle Munguia could be early 2025.
“Proper now, I’m with Matchroom, however I obtained one battle optionally available. If we would like, we could be a free agent, or if I need, I can do yet one more battle with them. It’s up within the air for me proper now,” mentioned Edgar Berlanga to Sways Universe on his promotional scenario.
Eddie Hearn didn’t say who he could be eager about matching Berlanga towards if he chooses to remain for the ultimate battle of his contract. He might presumably have a tune-up in New York or Puerto Rico.
Berlanga says he doesn’t wish to battle Caleb Plant as a result of he needs to give attention to somebody who can herald PPV buys, however Munguia is the one one who can do this. Once more, that may not be doable for Hearn to ship.
Hearn wish to match Berlanga towards Diego Pacheco, however that man would possibly beat him, and he’s not well-known. Berlanga would probably refuse to battle Pacheco as a result of it’s a high-risk, low-reward sort of battle.
Assuming Berlanga does stick it out with Matchroom for his last battle, it’s going to should be somebody he can beat, like Trevor McCumby, who regarded good in a dropping effort towards Caleb Plant on September 14th. Even McCumby could be dangerous for Berlanga as a result of he can punch and has abilities much like his.
