Why wouldn't he box again later this year ?

I don't know, but I won't hold my breath that he will. I hope I'm wrong though. The more these guys fight the better for everyone.

As long as he's healthy, he'd be crazy if he didn't.
He's not really made ground on his performance against Zayas when he should have.
This would be an opportunity.
Put Vergil on the undercard and do it in November early December.
Or do back to back Ennis Ortiz events on different weeks or close to one another,

The pattern is consistent. A genuine superfight or a novelty card (Canelo–Crawford, Paul–Tyson, Joshua–Paul) can pull tens of millions on Netflix. Ordinary championship boxing on TNT/DAZN is in the mid-hundreds of thousands. Linear networks largely walked away. HBO and Showtime are gone. Casual fans do not know where to find a fight or even that one is happening.


Several structural problems stacked up:Too many belts, promoters, and streaming apps.

Following the sport is work.

Top fighters fight once a year and duck risk. Fans notice mismatches and stalling.

The American heavyweight, historically boxing’s engine, has been absent for years. In fact 200,175, and 160 LBS are near dead.

MMA/UFC offers a simpler product: one organization, regular cards, stars who appear often.

Small-hall boxing, the sport’s farm system, is shrinking as tickets and TV exposure dry up.
