As fans no doubt know, unified WBA/WBO/WBC heavyweight champ Oleksandr Usyk was recently ordered by the WBO to next fight Joseph Parker.
The WBO has mandated that heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk defend against interim belt-holder Joseph Parker next. They have a 30-day negotiation period to negotiate the bout.
Boxing fans the world over sure got a great show last night/afternoon, depending on your location, this as “The Last Crescendo” delivered.
Former WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol (24-1, 12 KOs) became the new undisputed champion on Saturday night, beating previously undefeated champ Artur Beterbiev (21-1, 20 KOs) by a highly competitive 12-round majority decision in their clash at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Artur Beterbiev looked noticeably bigger than Dmitry Bivol today, weighing in at 175 lbs, right at the limit of the light heavyweight division for their DAZN PPV rematch this Saturday, February 22nd, at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The official weigh-in ahead of tomorrow night’s huge DAZN PPV card in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia has taken place, and the big men of the sport really did raise some eyebrows with their respective weights.
Joseph Parker’s manager, Spencer Brown, says he’s been told by Billy Nelson that heavyweight Martin Bakole has been training for the last eight weeks before being selected as the replacement for the ill IBF champion Daniel Dubois for Saturday night at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
In yet another heavyweight development in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, it has been reported by multiple sources that tomorrow night’s DAZN PPV fight between Joseph Parker and Martin Bakole will now contest the WBO interim title that Parker currently holds.
Promoter Eddie Hearn questions whether Martin Bakole will be in good enough shape to defeat Joseph Parker on two days’ notice this Saturday night in Riyadh.
As fans have no doubt read, Daniel Dubois is unfortunately out of Saturday night’s DAZN PPV fight with Joseph Parker. Ring Magazine broke this disappointing news a short while ago, with reports telling us that IBF heavyweight champ Dubois is “sick and is being evaluated by a doctor.”
