Main Body
The planned fight between Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn on September 12 is currently facing a legal dispute. While Mr. De La Hoya admitted that the fighter wants to move forward with the match, he emphasized that Garcia's current contract with Golden Boy means the event must be broadcast on DAZN. This contradicts reports that the event would be hosted by Zuffa Boxing on Paramount+. Consequently, Golden Boy has sent a cease-and-desist order to Zuffa. De La Hoya stated that Zuffa's involvement has caused operational problems. This tension follows a history of instability between Garcia and Golden Boy, although these issues have led to contract extensions in the past.
原定於 9 月 12 日舉行的 Ryan Garcia 與 Conor Benn 之間的比賽，目前正面臨法律糾紛。雖然 De La Hoya 先生承認拳手希望繼續進行比賽，但他強調 Garcia 目前與 Golden Boy 的合約意味著該賽事必須在 DAZN 播出。這與先前報導稱該賽事將由 Zuffa Boxing 在 Paramount+ 播出的說法相矛盾。因此，Golden Boy 已向 Zuffa 發出停止並禁止令。De La Hoya 表示 Zuffa 的介入造成了運作上的問題。這種緊張局勢源於 Garcia 與 Golden Boy 之間不穩定的歷史，儘管這些問題在過去曾導致合約展期。
At the same time, Golden Boy is working to improve its relationship with Vergil Ortiz Jr. Ortiz has been inactive recently because a contract disagreement prevented a fight with Jaron Ennis. De La Hoya indicated that representatives Eric Gomez and Rick Mirigian are currently negotiating to bring back the original contract terms. The promoter expressed his hope that Ortiz, who has been with the organization since the start of his professional career, will return to fighting within this year.
與此同時，Golden Boy 正努力改善與 Vergil Ortiz Jr. 的關係。Ortiz 最近一直處於非活躍狀態，是因為合約分歧導致無法與 Jaron Ennis 進行比賽。De La Hoya 指出代表人員 Eric Gomez 和 Rick Mirigian 目前正在協商，以恢復原有的合約條款。這位推廣人表達了他的希望，希望能讓自職業生涯之初就加入該機構的 Ortiz 在今年內恢復比賽。
Conclusion
Golden Boy Promotions is now trying to stop outside interference regarding Ryan Garcia's schedule and resolve internal contract issues with Vergil Ortiz Jr.
Golden Boy Promotions 目前正嘗試阻止外界干預 Ryan Garcia 的賽程，並解決 Vergil Ortiz Jr. 的內部合約問題。

⚡ The 'B2 Jump': Moving from Simple Actions to Complex Logic
At an A2 level, you describe things simply: "They have a problem with the contract." But to reach B2, you need to show how one event causes another. This is called Logical Connectivity.
🔍 The Magic Word: Consequently
In the text, the author doesn't just say "and then." They use "Consequently."
- What it means: "As a result of this."
- Why it's B2: It replaces the basic word "so." It tells the reader that the second action is a direct legal or logical effect of the first.
Comparison:
- A2: The contract is bad, so Golden Boy sent a letter.
- B2: The contract terms were contradicted; consequently, Golden Boy sent a cease-and-desist order.
🛠️ Sophisticated Verbs for 'Problem Solving'
Stop using "have a problem" or "fix it." Look at how the professional text describes conflict:
- "Facing a dispute" Instead of "having an argument." (Formal/Professional)
- "Resolve issues" Instead of "fix things." (Business English)
- "Prevented a fight" Instead of "stopped a fight." (Precise cause-and-effect)
💡 Pro-Tip for Fluency
Notice the phrase "indicates that."
Instead of saying "He said that..." (which is very A2), use "He indicated that..." when someone is giving a hint or a sign about the future. It makes your English sound more observant and academic.
