    Gone a bit quiet on Mundo, who would we like/expect him to face for his first?

    Gallagher has come out and said they’d look at Kovalev if they can’t secure a unification at 168, definitely has the size to go up, don’t have a clue how he makes super middle

    No, not yet. Light-heavy is a bad decision to make as of right now. He can feed on the super middleweights, and he has such an opportunity here to make himself a great of the division. But yes eventually he'll need to step up. Just not yet. Once light-heavyweight has sorted itself out (As in we have a clear king or at least one or two clear main fighters) then he can go up there and challenge them. For now, there is no room for anymore big names and it is risky to even go up there right now.

    Didn't Hearn say that Smith will likely be the support fight to Usyk's HW debut in a show in the US in May?

    Must’ve missed that mate, not sure how many marketable names are available around that time for him in the states

    A double header of Usyk vs Povetkin and Smith vs Barrera may not be the most marketable name fights in the US but that is a solid double header.
