Comments Thread For: Hrgovic-Zhang: IBF Orders February 24 Purse Bid Hearing For Heavyweight Title Eliminator

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The hunt to secure the next opponent for Filip Hrgovic isn't quite complete. A purse bid hearing has been scheduled by the IBF for the ordered heavyweight title eliminator between Croatia's Hrgovic and China's Zhilei Zhang. The call comes one week after the pair of hulking, unbeaten heavyweights were instructed to enter talks which failed to produce a reached deal to move forward with the fight.

Finally somebody seems to fancy the fight with Hrgovic. Was starting to wonder if the IBF would make Filip Mandatory by default, with everyone rejecting the chance to Face Him in a final eliminator.

Lots of these guys fight for money over Legacy now. It’s more 80% money driven and 20% wanting to actually achieve something great.

This will be another good heavyweight battle. 2 with olympic pedigree which makes it interesting.

Matchroom will win the rights to promote this with a purse bid of of $50 and some gift certificates to Mando's Peri Peri.

Joking aside, hopefully the fighters get paid decent and they stage the fight someplace exotic to generate some excitement (Macau or Zagreb perhaps?)....

Would not be surprised if this is the first HW belt to be stripped. Can’t see Usyk/Joshua 2 winner wasting time with any but the big $ options.

Zhang gets Ko'd early.
