    I paid a visit to Trey Lippe-Morrison's instragram feed. A February 27th update showed him having sparred with Andrey Fedosov (he appears to be a couple inches taller than Fedosov - a bit of a surprise to me) recently. When asked when his next fights was, Trey indicated "April sometime". So perhaps he will be back in action soon.

    Schwarz is only 24 years-old - which is surprising because it seems like he has been around for so long. He has time. I don't think a lot of contenders who already have a good chance at fighting Wilder or Joshua in the next year will be eager to take risks fighting Schwarz; he's good enough to be a threat. Tom will be forced to wait for his turn, I think.

    Otto Wallin is scheduled to fight to fight Nick Kisner (!) in Atlantic City on April 13th. This is an absurd matchup (obviously in Wallin's favor) and would be a total waste of time - other than it will get Wallin in front of a USA audience.

    Stephan Shaw stopped Donovan Dennis in the 3rd round.

    George Arias beat Robert Simms, who resembled a sumo wrestler donning a beach towel, by Majority Decision.

    George Arias scrapes through with a MD win over Robert Simms over 8 rounds. Thought he won by a bit more against a guy who just came to spoil but the right result.....just. The other 2 cards were 77-75.

    Simms makes Adam Kownacki look "chiseled" by comparison...but he took rounds off Arias and George never really hurt him.

    Fa stopped Ouatah in the 1st round after dropping him 4 times. I'm aware that Ouatah was a quality fighter a few years ago...but was skeptical that Haymon & Di Bella would put him in front of Fa if he poses the least bit of risk. Clearly he did not.

    I think personally it will probably end up being Del Boy now I know he turned down the Joyce fight saying it does nothing for him but he’s coming off a loss now and I would imagine he will have a soft touch on the matchroom card in April that he’s fighting on now it’s not parker.

    Can’t see it being kownacki or Martin seeing as he’s signed co promotional deal with matchroom.

    This is and update on what I previously wrote.

    The search for another rival for Filip Hrgovic (7-0, 5 KO), who recently signed a contract with the Matchroom group and the DAZN platform, is underway. Boxing in heavyweight Croatia in the last two appearances won with Amir Mansour and Kevin Johnson.

    The next match Hrgovic will play during the gala organized in the United States. The new promoter of boxer Eddie Hearn claims that many players refuse to duel with a 26-year-old.

    - I asked Charles Martin about fighting him. He watched his fights and refused. I also asked Adam Kownacki. Did not want to. Some say that they want a million dollars to fight Hrgovic, because they know they will lose, but at least they want to earn - says Hearn.

    Hrgovic has been boxing on professional rings since September 2017. The Croat is still being co-promoted by the Sauerland Event group.
