Zab Judah is aiming Floyd Mayweather Jr on April 8 in Las Vegas
for the boxing Welterweight championship; Don King announced
this next fight in Manhattan.
Boxing fighter Mayweather's record, 35-0 with 24 knockouts
against Judah (34-3, 25 KOs), "Zab is fast and strong, but he
has no chin," Mayweather said. "No way he will be able to take
my punch." "This will be an extravaganza," he said. "I have
waited my whole life for a fight like this." said Zab Judah.
Boxing promoter Bob Arum said he has reached an agreement with
Mayweather , but nothing is final until King can reach an
agreement with Judah. The fight would occur next April 8, 2006.
Longtime rivals Arum and King have reworked their deal. Arum
also said that he and Mayweather worked out a new deal and that
an agreement with HBO PPV was in place as well. Mayweather, a
boxing junior welterweight is moving up to welter weight; it had
been scheduled to earn a minimum $6 million to face Judah while
the Judah/King side was to earn $3 million plus a percentage of
the profits.
