Anybody know what the EBU rankings are if Joyce vacates?
🇬🇧 Joe Joyce has reportedly now agreed terms vs Daniel Dubois on April 18th at the O2 and is waiting on Dubois to agree his deal. 🇪🇺 However, the EBU have ordered Joe Joyce vs Filip Hrgovic for the European title, another option for Joyce.— Michael Benson (@MichaelBensonn) January 24, 2020
Probably throws a wrench in things
Yeah looks like they're going to try to make that one
💥 Eddie Hearn has revealed a deal is "pretty much in place" for Oleksandr Usyk vs Dereck Chisora on March 28th at the O2 and said Usyk is happy to do this and face AJ after Pulev. Hearn wants Buatsi, Hrgovic vs Bakole, Avanesyan vs Kelly and Benn vs Garton on this card. — Michael Benson (@MichaelBensonn) January 23, 2020
Hrgovic must deserve better things, like fighting Hunter, Chisora, Whyte and so on. Beating Bakole would be a good start. Honestly, I don`t see anything special in Hrgovic and I am European. I don`t believe he is a new Klitschko. Maybe he reaches Pulev`s level, which means, European championship title and at least one world title fight.
This right here . Thats exactly how I see it
Bakole was written off after the Hunter loss but that might have just been a major misstep in his development. His power is legit, he's not loading up on anything.
Hrgovic fought a lot of good competition as an amateur though. He's never been stopped.
Hrgovic can be hit and Bakole seems pretty fluid. I think he's improved since the Hunter loss and wouldn't be at all surprised to see him beat the Croatian but Hrgovic should probably be favored slightly.

Billy Nelson is saying it could happen.
