Ariel x Ade, episode 17: Boxing broken? NY denies Lamont Roach appeal, Vergil Ortiz Jr. talks Terence Crawford

from The Ariel Helwani Show · host Ariel Helwani

Ariel Helwani and Ade Oladipo kick off the show with their reactions to another press conference for the Times Square card and wonder why Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney aren't fighting (07:00). Next, they listen to comments from Oscar De La Hoya (10:16) and Eddie Hearn (14:00) about Dana White and TKO teaming with Turki Alalshikh and react to the promoters' thoughts.

Vergil Ortiz Jr. joins the show to recap his recent performance, look ahead to what's next — could it be Terence Crawford — and talk about his love of the Harry Potter series (31:46). Finally, the show closes with reactions to NYSAC denying Lamont Roach's appeal for the Gervonta Davis fight (51:31), Dmitry Bivol vs. David Benavidez talks heating up (55:32), Tyson Fury's tease (1:00:22), and Johnny Fisher vs. Dave Allen 2 being announced (1:03:37).
