Jacobs v Sulecki, WBA middleweight final eliminator in Brooklyn.

Daniel Jacobs and Maciej Sulecki will meet in final eliminator for the WBA World Middleweight title at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, on April 28.. The bout will feature on a live Home Box Office event, with the victor becoming mandatory challenger for the possible May 5 rematch between Saul Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin. It’s a huge incentive for Jacobs, to secure a possible rematch with Golovkin and to perform back in his home town for the first time since stopping Sergio Mora back in 2016, in the 4th defense of his WBA crown.
The April date will be Danny’s second appearance under Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing USA umbrella. Daniels Matchroom debut was a convincing decision over tough Luis Arias, last November in nearby Uniondale..
Hearn is confident that the 31 year old Miracle man can return to become a dominant force in the 160s, starting with April 28th..

“I’m grateful for the WBA for this opportunity and it gives me even more motivation going into April 28,” said Jacobs. “I feel that I beat GGG in the first fight and everyone knows my plan has always been to fight the winner of the rematch – now there is no hiding place”

Jacobs will be regarded as the WBA number one challenger, regardless of the May 5th bout taking place or not, providing that he comes through Sulecki successfully..
