    Lou DiBella Unfiltered: Boxing’s Future, Zuffa, Crawford, Tank, Boots & What Must Change

    Send us Fan Mail Hall of Fame promoter Lou DiBella joins Brian Custer on The Last Stand for a wide-ranging and brutally candid conversation about the current state — and uncertain future — of boxing. DiBella explains why he believes the traditional promotional model is becoming increasingly difficult to sustain and why there may no longer be enough room for the “mom-and-pop” promoters who helped build generations of fighters. He discusses the changes taking place across the boxing business, the impact of the Ali Act, and why established promoters — including himself — have to accept some responsibility for how the sport arrived at this moment. Lou also weighs in on Zuffa Boxing and why he believes few organizations are better positioned to potentially lead boxing into its next era. He gives MVP and Jake Paul credit for helping elevate women’s boxing and fighter pay, while also explaining where he disagrees with their approach. The conversation turns to fighter safety, including why DiBella believes the sport has an enormous obligation to protect its fighters and why he remains opposed to three-minute rounds in women’s boxing. Then Lou gets into the fighters. 🥊 He gives his thoughts on Terence “Bud” Crawford’s all-time boxing IQ, what makes a focused Gervonta “Tank” Davis such a dominant force, the offensive brilliance of Jaron “Boots” Ennis, and why Keyshawn Davis may sometimes be his own biggest obstacle. DiBella also says he’d fly to Japan for Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez vs. Naoya Inoue, breaks down a potential Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury showdown, and delivers some VERY strong opinions on Ryan Garcia vs. Conor Benn. Plus, Lou discusses Claressa Shields, Heather Hardy, Bill Haney, Floyd Mayweather and much more. 🎙️ Lou DiBella on The Last Stand — boxing past, present and future from someone who has spent decades inside the business. 👇 Do you agree with Lou about where boxing is headed?
