terry flanagan vs maurice hooker upcoming fight prediction and more details
They will meet in the co-feature of the return of former
heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs), who faces an opponent to
be determined on June 9 at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England --
hometown of Fury and Flanagan -- promoter Frank Warren announced.
Flanagan and Hooker will fight for one of the 140-pound world
titles left vacant when undisputed world champion Terence Crawford relinquished
all four of the major belts in the division last summer, in order to move up in
weight.
Flanagan (33-0, 13 KOs), 28, of England, and Hooker (23-0-3,
16 KOs), 28, of Dallas, were originally supposed to fight on April 14 at the O2
Arena in London on the undercard of middleweight world titleholder Billy Joe
Saunders' defense against Martin Murray. But when Saunders suffered a hand injury,
the card was postponed.
Flanagan is a former lightweight world titleholder. After
five title defenses, he vacated his 135-pound belt in order to move up to 140
pounds and go after another title.
"Winning this fight will prove that I'm a legitimate
140-pound fighter," Flanagan said. "I'll be looking to unify all of
the belts later in the year. I'm looking for the likes of [titleholder] Mikey
Garcia after I win the WBO belt on June 9. It's a massive unification fight,
and I hope those are the fights Frank can make. I'm not looking past Hooker,
but I'm very confident I'll be able to deal with anything he throws at me to
become a two-weight world champion."
Hooker has been training with Crawford and has won two
fights in a row since a dubious draw against former world titleholder Darleys
Perez in November 2016 in a fight virtually everybody saw Perez winning
handily.
"I'm gonna wake him up," Hooker said of Flanagan.
"He's weak and he's soft. He hasn't fought anybody. He fights little guys.
I hit hard with both hands. He's never fought anyone with skills like me. He
runs a lot. He does that real good. Power? He hasn't got any power. He pitty
pats."
Hooker said he views Flanagan as a dirty fighter as
well.- "I've been watching his fights,"
Hooker said. "He holds a lot. He uses his forearm to the head. He does a
lot of stuff dirty. I'm going to stop him, and I'm going to show him who's the
best at 140. It could be the first round, second round or third round, but he's
going down."
