Golden Boy will at least keep one of their exciting fighters away from Al Haymon. Lucas Matthysse has signed an extension with Oscar De La Hoya’s promotional company and Oscar seems very pleased with his decision.
“Lucas Matthysse is extremely happy with Golden Boy Promotions, and he wants to retire with us,” Oscar De La Hoya said. “I’m extremely happy that he’s a loyal fighter and person who understands the value of having a promoter on a long-term contract in order for us to keep building him and get him the fights he deserves.”
Matthysse will meet Ruslan Provodnikov on March 28th in a fight that will air on HBO. Both fighters are known to stand in the pocket and throw bombs. If this fight last more than 5 rounds I’ll be surprised.
