Eddie Hearn is giving his attempts to make Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez-Fernando “Puma” Martinez another two weeks.

IBF junior bantamweight champion Rodriguez last boxed in November, scoring a third-round stoppage of Pedro Guevara in Philadelphia. 

One of the finest fighters in the sport, he is now 21-0 (14 KOs). Martinez has the WBA title and is 17-0 (9 KOs).

“Bam, we’re talking to His Excellency [Turki Alalshikh] about Bam against Puma Martinez,” Hearn told BoxingScene.

“That's the fight we want. I think it’s one of the best fights in the sport.”

Asked if the fight would be headed to Riyadh, Hearn replied: “No, it would be in America. If we can't get that made in the next two weeks, Bam will fight in May, and he’ll defend his titles.”

Before Guevara, Rodriguez proved a hit in Phoenix, and Hearn would not rule out taking Bam back to Footprint Center.

“Possibly,” he said. “I'd quite like to go back to San Antonio. It’s his hometown. But we really want the unification because I feel like that's the natural move.”
