Kuzmin already at 15th place in WBC ranks for November.
Hrgovic is claiming the WBC ranks at steady pace as he is at 17th place and most likley will be in the top 15 come January next year.
Daniel Dubois has lot of work to do before he reaches top 15 because he is currently at 28th place.

 

Wilder/Fury did 300 k on US PPV. Is this enough to guarantee a rematch?

 

Ilunga Makabu is set to face Giorgi Tevdorashvlli on 8th of December.

Thomas Oosthuizen vs Thabiso Mchunu on the same date.

 

I though Fury won but those last rounds took the fight to a draw.

 

I think they will do a rematch, no big fights for both to explore except Joshua which is impossible to make for both.

 

Ortiz accepts the challenge, ready to fight Joyce.

A recent contender for the WBC belt, Luis Ortiz (30-1, 26 KO), is ready to take on the challenge he gave two days ago to Olympic Champion Joe Joyce (7-0, 7 KO), unbeaten in professional rings.

- I am willing to deal with him and I will gladly treat him with his first defeat in a career, but let him remember who challenged whom to fight. I did not chase him, but since he and his manager want it, why wait? - says Cuban "King Kong".

Ortiz and Joyce last boxed last Saturday, noting victories ahead of time at the Wilder - Fury in Los Angeles gala. The Cuban stopped Travis Kauffman and the Briton Joe Hanks.

 

Wilder - Fury: WBC accepts the application for an immediate rematch

Frank Warren, promoter of Tyson Fury (27-0-1, 19 KO), announced on Sunday that he would apply to the WBC federation, demanding an immediate rematch against Deontay Wilder (40-0-1, 39 KO). The federation authorities have announced that they intend to make such a proposal, which will facilitate the organization of a second duel between the American and the British.

According to earlier decisions of the World Boxing Council, Wilder, who thanks to a draw with Fury, retained the master heavyweight belt, should in the next performance cross the gloves with Dominik Breazeal, the official contender for the title WBC. Warren, however, is not going to wait for the fight to be decided by Wilder - Breazeale and would like the Bronze Bomber to face Fury in the first half of next year for the second time.

Breazeale is the official contender for the WBC belt of heavyweight for several months, and the upcoming duel will take place on December 22. It is possible that the American next year will first block the temporary belt of WBC, and only then will face the winner of the second fight between Wilder and Fury.

 

So many have dissed Kuzmin but he already in top 15 by WBC. He can end up in top 7 next year if he gets the right fights.

 

Yes, he had bad knuckle injury.
