Top rank : Top Rank could wind up working with the 32-year-old Beterbiev for the long haul, but for now the company is looking forward to putting on the fight and beefing up the Magdaleno-Juarez card, which is being ticketed for ESPN on Oct. 31. "We won a purse bid. We think [unified titleholder] Andre Ward is the best light heavyweight in the world and right behind him are [Top Rank-promoted Oleksandr] Gvozdyk and Beterbiev," Top Rank vice president Carl Moretti told ESPN. "And to have the opportunity to showcase both of those guys on this platform, ESPN, in the upcoming weeks and months is great."
Looks like Lonesome Bob is angling to get into the Light Heavyweight business. I wouldn't be surprised if Ward and Beterbiev are signed to TR in the next few weeks...
Top Rank bid $315,000 Sauerland bid $83,000. I hope Beterbiev finally gets away from his old promoter, he has been holding him back.....................
