Edgar Berlanga says his Matchroom contract has one “optionally available” battle remaining, and that’s “up within the air” for him. He says he may go away with out taking that last battle, however he hasn’t determined if he’ll.
To get the battle that Berlanga (22-1, 17 KOs desires in opposition to Jaime Munguia, he’ll seemingly have to 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 in opposition to Ronald Gavil. So, the earliest Berlanga may battle Munguia can be early 2025.
“Proper now, I’m with Matchroom, however I received one battle optionally available. If we would like, we is usually a free agent, or if I need, I can do yet another 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 can be desirous about matching Berlanga in opposition to if he chooses to remain for the ultimate battle of his contract. He may presumably have a tune-up in New York or Puerto Rico.
Berlanga says he doesn’t need to battle Caleb Plant as a result of he desires to deal with somebody who can usher in PPV buys, however Munguia is the one one who can try this. Once more, which may not be doable for Hearn to ship.
Hearn wish to match Berlanga in opposition to Diego Pacheco, however that man may beat him, and he’s not well-known. Berlanga would seemingly refuse to battle Pacheco as a result of it’s a high-risk, low-reward kind of battle.
Assuming Berlanga does stick it out with Matchroom for his last battle, it’s going to must be somebody he can beat, like Trevor McCumby, who seemed good in a shedding effort in opposition to Caleb Plant on September 14th. Even McCumby can be dangerous for Berlanga as a result of he can punch and has abilities just like his.
