Prudential Center, Newark, NJ - Heavyweight contender Bryant Jennings (19-1, 10 KO’s) was last seen in the ring giving the heavyweight champion of the world, Wladimir Klitschko, one of his tougher fights in recent memory this past April in New York at Madison Square Garden. Jennings has been idle since then.
He was rumored to be in negotiations for a fight against heavyweight Luis Ortiz on the undercard of the October 17th HBO Pay-Per-View between Gennady Golovkin and David Lemieux. But Jennings turned the fight down.
“It didn’t meet my requirements,” Jennings told BoxingScene.com at the Antonio Tarver-Steve Cunningham fight in Newark. “There are a lot of fights that are put in front of us that aren’t made. I’m not ducking him, it just didn’t meet my requirements.”
Jennings-Ortiz would have probably been tabbed as the third fight on the pay-per-view bill with Roman Gonzalez and Brian Viloria being the co-main event but says talks never got that far.
“I don’t even know what place that was going to be at,” Jennings said. “It didn’t get that far. They offered Ortiz and I was like ‘what they talking? Oh never mind. I’m a warrior but it wasn’t a good offer.’”
Jennings has recently added head trainer John David Jackson and was on hand at to watch another Philly heavyweight Steve Cunningham. Jennings feels the two could get in the ring but certain circumstances have to be correct.
“We both know, we both talked about it but we both know what it would take to get us in the ring,” explained Jennings. “It’d have to be like world title circumstances or the pay has to be worth it to fight. We’d fight for real. We’d shake hands before and after the fight but it’d be a real fight.”
Jennings doesn’t like to talk about proposed fights until they are in the negotiations stages. He feels if it’s not on paper, why waste time talking about it.
“We not going to entertain that,” Jennings said. “That’s instigation. Let’s get there before we start talking about. You not going to get me like that. I have a team and you can contact them on the situation. I have no problem with fighting everybody it don’t matter.”
