Wallin a free agent!

Swedish heavyweight Otto Wallin, 20-0, has relinquished the EU title he won in April with a win over Adrian Granat. Wallin is now longer under contract with Team Sauerland.

What is next? Well, some rumors point towards the US. Wallin is trained by Joey Gamache and is a well schooled, smart southpaw. The minus might be a lack of size and punching power.

 

Official challenger of EBU title is Robert Helenius and he will face the highest ranked suitable contend.

 

Ali Baloyev will fight for the vacant NABF Junior Cruiserweight Title, on 28th July.

Murat Gassiev vs. Andrew Tabiti possible for July 21

 

IBF/WBA cruiserweight champion Murat Gassiev (26-0, 19 KOs) could be facing unbeaten contender Andrew Tabiti, 16-0 (13) on July 21 instead WBC/WBO champion Oleksandr Usyk, according to Boxingtalk. The negotiations for the World Boxing Super Series finals between Gassiev and Usyk has hit a sticking point, and it’s now looking like Gassiev, 24, will be facing #3 IBF Tabiti instead. It still hasn’t been confirmed by the WBSS organizers whether the Gassiev-Usyk fight will be postponed.

P.S. It's a good fight. Not an easy fight for Gasiev. Tabiti deals very well with power punchers.

 

Hrgovic is not unbeateble and there are couple of prospects who might beat him. If we look further Ortiz might have a chance, Joshua would beat him. Whyte would beat him also. Wilder would struggle, I think.
