Raymond coach Muratala Robert Garcia is late for Andy Cruz Battle: IBF Lightweight champion is looking for another discount

Raymond coach, Robert Garcia, says Muratala will not defend the IBF light title against the compulsory and any cruz until the Penaliging Authority requests the battle.

IBF title stopped

Carlos Linares Reports Muratala coach, Robert Garcia, states that they will not fight Andy Cruz (6-0, 3 Cos). They prefer to defend the IBF belt against another fighter in California. It is not known who will be the opponent with Muratalla (23-0, 17 KOS), but there is likely to have someone first ranked in the best 15 years in IBF.

It is not surprising that the first -ranked Muratalla is not defending Cruz. When Muratalla was raised to the IBF champion mode on June 9, there was already speculation that his promotions would get him easy to allow him to stick to the belt for as long as possible.

Search for the next Muratala discount

It will return to IBF for a report when they plan to request Muratalla to make the defense against Cruz. Muratalla can have up to one year before IBF commands the battle. This time gap will be ideal for the highest rank, as it will allow RayMond to have an easy defense against the title against the soft bottom population, such as Maxi Hughes and Diego Torres.

Andy Cruz became the mandatory weight of IBF on June 14, 2025, where he left Heronori Micero in the fifth round. It is believed that the talented Cruz targeted the title of IBF because he believed it would be faster for him to get a title instead of following the title of WBC, which Shakur Stephenson is holding.

Cruz No. 1 was rated with WBC. However, Shakur did not show any desire to fight Andy. Stevenson was pushing for the battle of the jumping jump against Gervonta Davis, and was wandering in Cruz, defending young fighters.

Andy Cruz: The king of 135 pounds is not obligatory

The Olympic Gold Medal for 2020, Cruise from Cuba, was a recruitment fighter, and considered that he could not be prevented, because he became a professional in 2023. Initially, Kishon Davis avoided it, then Shakur Stefenson, and now it appears Muratala. It is a sign of that Andy Cruz is the humble king From a lightweight section.

It may take years before Cruz can get a title against Shakur if he chooses to go in this direction, because it is not a battle that you will give to him. Again, it can be said that Cruz is the non -street king of 135 pounds. Shakur is The king’s doll.
