Eddie Hearn has invited Curmel Moton’s team to make an offer for a fight with Giorgio Visioli, moving early discussions toward a concrete next step.
The proposed bout is being considered for the undercard of a planned Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao rematch event in September. Hearn’s position places the decision with Moton’s side, with terms now required to move talks forward.
Visioli (11-0, 6 KOs) is coming off a one-sided win over Levi Giles in his first defense of the English lightweight title on Saturday night at the Copper Box Arena in London. The 22-year-old southpaw has been built steadily through domestic competition and remains one of Matchroom’s rising prospects at 135 pounds.
Moton, promoted within Floyd Mayweather’s stable, has been positioned as a fast-moving prospect with increasing visibility in the U.S. market. A fight between the two would match an unbeaten UK titleholder against a developing American prospect, with both at similar stages of their careers.
Mayweather has moved Moton carefully as a long-term project, and his stable has yet to produce a successor to Gervonta Davis since his departure. Approving a fight with Visioli would represent a notable step in that process.
The link between the fighters goes back to time spent at the Mayweather Gym, where sparring sessions drew attention and added context to a potential matchup.
Hearn’s instruction for an offer shifts the situation from discussion to terms. Whether a deal is reached will depend on Moton’s team and their willingness to pursue the fight at this stage.
If the fight is made, it would give Visioli a higher level of opposition and a larger platform on a major card. It would also provide a clearer read on how he performs against an opponent being developed on a similar track in another market.
