    Also, why can they travel to Saudi Arabia but not Vegas?
    The US has banned travel from the UK. I'm not sure what countries Saudi Arabia has banned

      It's a lot going on with that fight. I say it's 90% the fight will happen but that depends a lot on the economics. They can have fans but not full capacity. Does AJ want to take another pay cut like he did for Pulev or is it much more profitable to fight here & drop that belt. Also depends on if Eddie is willing to take a loss to pay AJ his full purse in order for AJ to extend his deal with Matchroom. How much money does Usyk want is another issue. If it goes to purse bid & they lose I don't see the fight happening.
      I seldom try to predict these things but I find it hard to believe Usyk would price himself out of this fight.

        What he deems fair to himself might be a price out to Hearn so price out is subjective
