    Perhaps, with the WBA still futzing around with the regular title, they think if they can get a mando declared fast they can jump the line.

    That, or they think Usyk vs Fury won't happen and the belts are going to fracture.

    Bring on Zhang vs Hrgovic. Quickly becoming one of the most anticipated fights in the HW division.

    Exactly. And this is the one organization that actually enforces their mandatory. So discouraging as a fan of this sport..

    The closest thing we can get to Tua vs Ibeabuchi 2. Well, maybe not, but that would be an awesome fight still.

    Gassiev is oft injured while Ruiz has no desire. I bet they both decline.

    How i commented early, that video of Gassiev with "i just started trainings" for me was timed exatly like a signal he's ready for that fight.And i'm not sure he was really with broken arm, couple days later using both hands on video with no problem.I suspect he was pressured from people around him to continue his career, but he had lack of motivation.Now for that fight he will be super motivated, if that was the problem.I hope his health is ok and we will see Gassiev soon in the ring with Hrgovic.

    I know Ruiz will punk out. Haymon is the worst promoter in boxing. Cant wait till he goes bankrupt
