    The fight will be rescheduled as Beterbiev has picked up an injury. The 5 v 5 is still going ahead.

    Bummer. When you've had over 300 amateur fights, fighting with a very aggressive style, and you're a gym rat who trains all year round, are in the gym day in, day out, and are known for training like a demon, and have been boxing for 30 years, you're going to become injury prone, let alone when you're 39 y/o. That's a ton of wear and tear on your body. He still trains like he's in 20s and is in his physical prime and he's obviously not and when you see how hard he trains it's surprising his body hasn't completely broken down on him like Korobov's did.

    It was being billed as the greatest card in history, wonder if it’s still a PPV card now? Still a good card though. So wilder vs zhang new main event now I’m guessing.

    Look at his 300 + amateur fight peers like Korobov, Loma, Usyk etc. they too started to become injury prone in their early-mid 30s. Usyk took up boxing late but the rest took up boxing when they were young or very young boys. How can you have that many amateur fights (100 is more than enough), put your body through 2-3 decades of training and hard/extremely hard for the vast majority of it and not have your body break down on you?

    GGG is an anomaly. I'm sure he has his injury woes but I've never even heard of him suffering injury, let alone a serious one which required surgery.

    Really frustrating how a great fighter like Beterbiev constantly gets himself injured and having fights postponed. Very talented and disciplined fighter but just can’t seem to avoid getting himself hurt in training camp. I seriously hope he doesn’t end up getting physically compromised by the time he fights Bivol.

    Does Wilder-Zhang become the Main Event?
