"So I would say they need to put something together if they want to see us in Moscow."

"Before we step on the plane and I believe Oleksandr is scheduled to fly Monday That's where the deadline can be."

Anyone who doubts Evgeny Romanov's firepower can ask reigning WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder for an assessment. Wilder, then a relative rookie, was knocked out by Romanov ten years ago, while both were fighting as amateurs. This time Romanov's power wasn't on full display. Yet it was enough to make Brazilian import Marcelo Luiz Nascimento (18-17, 16 KOs) quit on his knees at 2:08 of the sixth round.

Romanov (10-0, 7 KOs), 33, was better in each round but was unable to land one meaningful blow for one finishing touch. Yet, he continued stalking the Brazilian, dropping him briefly late into the third, hurting him several times after that and finally dropping him twice - the second time for the count - with body shots in the sixth.

Jarrell Miller vs. Artur Szpilka is in discussions for October 6 in Chicago.

Easy opponent for Miller, then perhaps Miller-Joshua in April 2019.

 

I think Miller will have another one before that.

 

Wallin isn't injured at the moment.

 

Published reports last month stated that if Bivol beats Chilemba, he will sign with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing and have his fights streamed on DAZN. Vadim Kornilov, Bivol’s manager, has denied that Bivol has agreed to sign with Hearn.

 

Great performance by Romanov.

 

Whyte vs Parker will now be for the WBC Silver and vacant WBO International Heavyweight titles.
