    Wasn’t confirmed yet as they were thinking of moving it to May17th so it doesn’t clash with Wilder. Apparently Povetkin will fight on the same card.

    Why wouldn’t he just drop all of them if he’s not planning on fighting at Cruiser any longer? Doesn’t he have to pay sanctioning fees while he holds the belts, or am I misunderstanding that?

    Not unfeasible he gets knocked out at heavyweight in his first fight. Not saying I think that’ll happen, far from - but this is boxing and things happen. If it did, he’d have no business up there.

    I think they want to keep those in case Usyk loses his HW fight and decides to return to the CW. :scared1

    He won't lose the fight, he will cut Takam to ribbons.

    I'm thrilled. I wasn't convinced he would truly move up.

    Only 8 months undisputed, but still the longest reigning undisputed cruiserweight ever (from the 2).
