Hearn Hypes Cruz as Next Lightweight Sensation: "He'll Beat Them All!"

Eddie Hearn, the UK's boxing maestro, is buzzing about Matchroom Boxing's latest sensation, Andy Cruz. Fresh off his stellar win against Giovanni Straffon (26-6-1, 19 KOs) last weekend, Cruz has Hearn all fired up:

"What a clinic! Andy's fight was sheer domination. Forget the rising stars in lightweight. Bring on the big guns - Andy's set to topple them all. Cambosos, Martin? They don't stand a chance against him. Keyshawn Davis? Please, no contest.

This kid, Andy Cruz, is something else. He's not just any fighter; he's a phenomenon. Mark my words, he's destined to be the kingpin of the lightweight division," declared Hearn.

Cruz, who jumped into the pro scene in July 2023, has only two pro fights under his belt and already holds the IBF International title. Yet, he's still climbing the ranks in the lightweight category.
