Bivol and Barrera back on August 4 on Alvarez/Kovalev undercard. Extremely hard fight for Kovalev.....

 

Bellew or Gvodzyk most likely. Rematch with Jack is a outside possibility.

In the last interview I saw Beterbiev, said that if he loses lawsuit he may very well retire

 

Andre Dirrell is moving to light-heavyweight and will fight in December on a big card.

So the WBSS did try to get a light-heavyweight tournament going. Shame, would’ve been epic. Still no confirmation on the third weight class for season two.

Big fan of Kovalev in his prime but @HBOboxing should be ashamed of the decisions it’s made. THREE fight deal for a man who just got battered by @andreward shows desperation. Especially as it came on the back of Krusher having talks with #WBSS... #BoxingMovingForward #DAZN

Kovael looked good in first 6 rounds but fell apart after sixth round. Rematch is likely for December. I expect the same outcome.
