Who the hell is fighting who in the HW division in the 1st quarter of 2016??

Let's stick to the thread topic PLEASE, I've changed the "some bum" to TBA on the first post.

 

So Tony Thompson is fighting Ortiz next month...

Ultra-experienced long time heavyweight contender Tony Thompson isn’t quite ready to call it a day and retire yet. Immediately after his October points loss to the much quicker Malik Scott (who had to survive a late-rounds knockdown) “The Tiger” said he would retire. Now, though, in hearing about interim WBA heavyweight champion Luis Ortiz and his struggle finding a challenger for his scheduled March 5th date on HBO’s Boxing After Dark, the 44-year-old says he will step in to face the Cuban who is eight years his junior.

As has previously been reported, Alexander Dimitrenko – thought to have been a done deal to face Ortiz on March 5th – asked for too much money, killing the fight. Thompson confirmed to this writer that he is trying to get the fight for himself now.

“We’re trying to make the fight with Ortiz now,” Thompson informed me via social media. “[David] Haye wouldn’t fight me.”

Haye you chicken... buck buck buck

 

Sorry looks like Helenius vs Dupa...

Unbeaten 6’7 heavyweight contender Robert “The Nordic Nightmare” Helenius (22-0, 13 KOs) hinted last week that “huge news” was coming Monday at a press conference. The news is that Helenius will take on Johann “The Reptile” Duhaupas (33-3, 20 KOs) on April 2 at the Heartwell Arena in Helsinki, Finland. Last year, Duhaupas put up a good effort against WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder in Alabama.
