🥊💰 BOB ARUM ON KEYSHAWN DAVIS:
“The lo and behold — the Saudi money, like Aladdin, disappeared!”
Arum says Top Rank granted Davis his requested release with one fight remaining, rather than litigate.
Davis previously declined a $2.14m WBO purse-bid allocation to fight Haney.

Re: WBO Middleweight Champion Denzel Bentley
The WBO Complaint and Grievance Committee has DENIED WBO Middleweight Champion Denzel Bentley’s appeal and AFFIRMED the World Championships Committee’s Order mandating the mandatory title defense against Yoenli Hernández. Bentley MUST fight Hernandez NEXT.
The stay of proceedings has been lifted, and both parties have been ordered to confirm their participation within 24 hours of notice of the Appeal. @2Sharp_d @WorldBoxingOrg
🚨 WBO: APPEAL DENIED.
Denzel Bentley must defend against mandatory challenger Yoenli Hernández NEXT — no intervening bouts.
Both parties have 24 hours from service of the ruling to confirm their intentions.
The appeal is settled. The fight is not yet signed.
@WorldBoxingOrg @2Sharp_d 😔 sorry my bro I chose a better pic 😉

THE DEADLINE IS NOT THE DECISION. 🗃️🥊
@connolly005 tells CLINCH the WBA decision is “Pending!”
He's also indicated a review could take weeks.
CLINCH has separately been informed of a possible early-November timeframe.
No formal extension verified.

DEADLINE DAY ADDITION:
Sam Jones doubles down publicly:
“No step aside, no deals, nothing.”
Added to CLINCH’s López–Catterall deadline-day file. 🗃️🥊
Appreciate you sharing this, Sam. 🥊✍🏻
Keith Connolly has since clarified directly to CLINCH that no step-aside offer was made and that the WBA's decision remains pending.
He also pointed to historical precedent for unification exceptions.
Our question remains whether the September 22 order stays in force while that request is considered.
And Sam, the same invitation we've extended to Keith applies to you. We'd welcome the opportunity to hear your perspective properly, privately here or on Instagram, whichever suits you.
@connolly005 @mrsamjones88 @WBABoxing
Deadline day. 🗃️🥊
@connolly005 says a unification exception can trump the mandatory.
@mrsamjones88 points to the president’s public announcement.
CLINCH asked both the key question:
Does the existing WBA order stay in force unless and until an exception is actually granted?
No reply before publication.
The order — or the exception?
