    Thanks. Then it looks like Eleider Alvarez is left without an opponent once again.

    Alvarez will likely face Oleksandr Gvozdyk for the vacant WBC Interim belt.

    Disappointing opponent choice for Kovalev, but happy he's returning soon, and even happier we get Bivol-Barrera. Barrera gets the title shot he deserves, and we get to see how good Bivol is, against by far his best opponent.

    He's fighting a guy named Igor? Is he a hunchback or a one eyed orc?

    Barrrera turned down the fight with Kovalev, and will fight Bivol instead.

    Mikhalkin is a decent fighter, he's actually better than Shabranskyy. But most people have never heard of him so the HBO ratings may not be so good.

    Gvozdyk is going the WBC route.
    Klimas is the manager for both, Kov-Gvozdyk is their last resort.

    Damn, Kovey is trying to be a huge star in Russia. I guess "the machine" is next.
