Eddie Hearn admitted in an IFL TV interview that despite the fact that the IBF has scheduled a heavyweight title fight between Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) and Filip Hrgovic (15-0, 12 KOs), ...
Representing Hrgovic, the head of Matchroom Boxing said that he is constantly making efforts to protect the interests of his fighter, but so far no scenario can be ruled out, because "the federations make exceptions for big fights."
The Saudis began preliminary preparations for the role of the host of the fight for the four belts of the royal division in the summer, even before Usyk's rematch with Joshua in August. There are rumors that the Fury-Usyk fight could take place in late February or early March.
