    Marco Huck will make a comeback at age 41 on February 14th against TBA at the OWL Arena. This fight will be at heavyweight. I didn’t see his last few comeback fights so I’m not sure what (if anything) he has left, but I sure was a fan of his for a number of years and I wish him luck.

    Aleksai Dronov vs TBA at Carib Royale, Orlando Florida, Feb 20.

    With Dronov, Gassiev, and Suslenkov soon to be joined by Surov, and Gadzhimagomedov if he ever wants to step up, will we see a great era of Russian heavyweight boxing?

    Well...interesting...


    Gassiev’s manager, Al Siesta, confirmed that his fighter is extremely interested in a fight of such magnitude and explained that he would even be prepared to travel to London for the fight and fight on away soil despite being the champion.

    “It is Murat’s dream to fight in London and, specifically, Wembley Stadium. He loves British boxing fans and their passion for the sport. He feeds off this energy. Our friend Derek Chisora has already demanded the fight with Murat.

    “In fact, he was in the ring sooner than I was after Murat defeated Pulev. What a story that would be: Chisora fighting for the WBA heavyweight title in his 50th professional fight. We know what Derek brings to the table and we are 100 per cent ready to make this fight in London.”

    I’m happy with this fight, as in an interview last week I see Gassiev say he’d like a rematch with Wallin.
    I’m all for him avenging a loss like that, but I’m not interested in it right now. So very glad this is potentially happening!

    Multiple sources (including East Side Boxing) are reporting Chisora will fight Wilder this April in the UK.

    Seems like Usyk will tip his toe in the American scene. Be it Wilder or Ruiz.

    Seems like Usyk is entering his Larry Holmes phase. Where he will pick easy opponents for big pay days.

    While I am not in complete denial about this, let's see how this plays out. He has said that he is not going to drop any more belts, and Klimas said that they are interested in Kabayel after they saw the crowd in Germany. His last opponent was a reunification, so he hasn't misstepped yet, and I think Wilder and Ruiz have as much to do with his desire to fight in America as anything.

    Let's see what comes next.

    I don't want to see Usyk fight Ruiz.

    Usyk-Wilder would have been better.

    If you combined Usyk's fitness with Andy's fatness and averaged them out, they would make two ordinary guys.

    Good Bridger fight. Georgiy Yunovidov takes on Zhaoxin Zhang, 2-14.

    Arslan Yallyev on the same card fighting the unpromising Mirzhojijan Abdullaev
