Kovalev is done. He definitely shouldn't be fighting much less at fvkcing cruiserweight

Kovalev can fight for a WBC title eliminator, but Bivol can't fight against Beterbiev and his WBC belt???? Give me a break. Sulaiman is salty Bivol schooled his golden goose

The bet here is that the talent pool is not great.
The fighters at Cruiserweight are older and slower.
And the deep talent pool has moved on or semi-retired.
I say Kovalev has a better shot at a title here than at 175.

I really didn’t know Makabu had 22 losses
Someone should really double check these articles
Kovi might give it a run but he’s definitely done as toast imo

This should be it for Kovalev. Hard to see any other result than a Mchunu KO. Hopefully he can pull it off though.

Damn I didn't even know he was still fighting. That's a fucking hard fight especially at 40 years old. Respect to him for taking on the challenge.
