This fight was supposed to be one of the main events of the boxing evening organized at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The winner of the fight became the official contender for Oleksandr Usyk, who is the world champion according to the International Boxing Federation.
In this situation, most likely, the organizers will try to find a quick replacement for Zhilei in the rating fight, which will now be scheduled for 10 rounds, and the eliminator with Hrgovic will be postponed to a later date.
