    If I'm a fighter and we are literally at war ,homeland wise, then I'm not risking my safety coming to your house for a "fair fight".[/QUOTE]

    That was like 3 years ago. Gassiev isn't an experienced amateur. It takes time to hone your craft. No doubt that Gassiev has improved a lot since then. He was far more green in that fight than he is now.

    And I’m sure the $50 million in prize money is sitting in a nice secure Swiss bank account, and the promoters are not now scrambling to find a venue that will put it up it for them.

    Kova pays taxes in Florida, he is a U.S. resident, no?

    Rumor has it a decision (by the WBSS) has already been made not to change the location of the fight. So, it will be in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia).

    Yes, it shouldn't be held in EVIL RUSSIA, it should be held in a civilized country like SAUDI ARABIA.

    Yes, the sarcasm is justified, but at least Saudi Arabia is neutral to the both boxers.

    Yes, unlike the suggested "Germany and UK".

    In light of the climate surrounding the Ukraine and Russia, I
    completely understand Usyk's POV.
