one step closer to Fat Gilbert v Fat Dave on May 2nd

INJURY TO ROBIN SAFAR PREVENTS ZURDO RAMIREZ FROM MAKING JAN. 16 TITLE DEFENSE

Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez’s cruiserweight title defense vs. Robin Safar won’t happen Jan. 16 as planned, sources tell The Ring.

Safar injured his right hand in Round 5 of his November victory and won’t be ready in January.

Safar is interested in the fight being rescheduled for Feb. 21 on the Ryan Garcia-Mario Barrios undercard. However, it’s unclear if Ramirez would delay it when he’s already set to meet David Benavidez on May 2.

If the fight can’t be rescheduled, Safar is interested in fights with Chris Billam-Smith and Ryan Rozicki.

this will be the Fittest Fat Dave we'll ever see

from Fat Gilbert to winner of Top Soviet Bivol-Buff Guy Artur 3 will be the hungriest Fat Dave no pun intended

I do admire the way Benny has moved on from the disappointment of not getting the Canelo fight and has targeted really good opponents since. If he beats Ramirez, fights against Opetaia, Bivol and Beterbiev are all attrative propositions.
