Eddie Hearn is certain one fight on the upcoming “Ring III” pay-per-view show hasn’t received the attention it deserves.

The two fights atop the card — Edgar Berlanga against Hamzah Sheeraz and Shakur Stevenson versus William Zepeda — have received much of the promotional push since the July 12 event was announced last month. Champion Alberto Puello and Subriel Matias should also present an interesting clash of styles in their 12-round fight for the WBC 140-pound crown at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York.

Hearn, whose company promotes Stevenson, wouldn’t be the least bit surprised, however, if David Morrell Jr. and Imam Khataev leave fans more entertained than any other match.

“Morrell against Kataev will be an absolute bloodbath — bloodbath,” Hearn told The Ring’s Rick Reeno during an interview that was posted recently to The Ring’s YouTube channel. “It will be brutal.”

The Cuban-born, Miami-based Morrell (11-1, 9 KOs) needs a win five months after his first professional defeat — a 12-round unanimous decision to unbeaten WBC light heavyweight champ David Benavidez on Feb. 1 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Khataev (10-0, 9 KOs), who won a bronze medal for Russia at the 2021 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, will try to validate himself as a light heavyweight contender against an opponent Benavidez considers the most formidable foe he has faced in 30 pro bouts.

Hearn, the chairman of Matchroom Boxing, was surprised Morrell and Khataev took this risky fight when Turki Alalshikh offered it.

“That fight, Morrell-Kataev, is an absolute barnburner,” Hearn said. “We had Kataev on our show in Sydney his last fight. He is all action. He is dangerous. And it’s gone from like Morrell was like the hunter. He’s actually the hunted in that fight. … And again, these crazy cards you guys do at The Ring magazine, that fight just wouldn’t happen [otherwise]. You just don’t fight Khataev, right? And you just don’t fight Morrell. Those two just fight each other.”

Kataev, who trains and resides in Australia, defeated Argentina’s Durval Elias Palacio (14-4, 11 KOs) by unanimous decision in his most recent fight March 22 at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney. That victory ended a nine-fight knockout streak since he turned pro in 2021.

DraftKings considers Morrell, who is ranked No. 8 among The Ring’s top 10 light heavyweight contenders, a 5-1 favorite to defeat the 10th-ranked Khataev. DAZN will distribute the pay-per-view card that includes Berlanga-Sheeraz, Stevenson-Zepeda, Puello-Matias and Morrell-Khataev in the United States ($59.99; 6 p.m. ET) and the United Kingdom (£24.99; 11 p.m. BST).
