@kiwiinmelb Yes it is too.
Hopefully we get to see him and bivol before it’s too late ,
That’s a great fight if they can get it made
-
@kiwiinmelb Don't know what the hold up is tbh. Typical boxing.
Bivol UD if they ever do fight.

I think bivols team were still exploring the option of some more canelo money
-
@kiwiinmelb Makes sense if they do as Canelo doesn't really have too many options these days. He could fight David Benavidez at 168 but doesn't seem keen on that, so 175 seems like the only place to go for him.
Would still rather Bivol v Beterbiev though, like every other boxing fan world would too.

Yeah that’s a better fight for the fans , 2 undefeated genuine light heavyweight’s,
canelo went a step too far at 175 imo . I think 168 is his limit . Hopefully this 3 fight deal includes benevidoz
Maybe he fights the winner of benevidoz v boo-boo

Rumors going round , they ( saudis ) are tying to get Joshua and Wilder fighting on the same card , I suspect with the long term goal of getting Joshua v wilder to follow up , should they both win
Otto Wallin v Joshua and Parker v Wilder as the names being thrown around.
Best of luck Joe

Wilder in 4.
Points will be even but the big right will sort him.
-
the promising thing with the saudi money ,
Early days but we might be getting a scenario where all fighters come together to fight under one banner or promotion group
Jai Opetaia , Bivol , Hrgovic also rumored to be on the card
-
@kiwiinmelb As well as Makhmudov v Kabayel, Dubois v Miller and Sanchez v Fa.
I'll believe it all when I see them all step in the ring for round 1.

Fury v usyk on feb 17th
-
brings the question , with this amount of quality in one night ,
is this the best boxing card in history ?
-
-
@kiwiinmelb It's very deep, but too many uneven fights for me.
AJ v Wilder, Parker v Wallin, Hrgovic v Sanchez and Fa v De Mori as the early hours fight before the gates open and TV coverage starts would have been huge.
Bivol v Arthur and Opetaia v Zorro are also shocking mismatches.

Yeah fair point , but lots of quality there to at least make the one sided fights interesting 😀
Maybe the majority of these fights were on the fury usyk fight card originally scheduled for this date
