Im a fan of Hatmans channel. Heres some interesting things that Stirverne and Duhaupa have said about certain experiences leading up to that fight. This content is protected
Is it uncommon to have a backup ready for main/co main events? I'm pretty sure quite a few of the main and co-main events on the Russian cards have a backup fighter on retainer in case the opponent pulls out for whatever reason. Stiverne is connecting dots that shouldn't be connected. Povetkin tested +, fight was cancelled. Move on (Stiverne).
Yeah an event like that should have contingencies, I mean how often do you hear 'taking the fight on short notice' in boxing. What stands out for me is that Stirverne was saying that he was reminded a fair bit about a back up fighter in place should he not be able to fight. Thats unusual if the reminders are constant as I think the video suggests. Its Stirvernes word against whoever but again, its another shambles where I cant wait to see what unfolds.
