I have heard nothing about either guy. Pretty sure I recall Eddie Hearn saying he wanted Huck or Drozd next for Bellew. Then again that would blow the Cleverly vs Bellew rematch which brings more money.

I think the rematch will happen next in Poland as long as Rakhim wins and comes out injury free. Santander weighed in well above the HW limit but I guess he had very little notice to make weight.

I will let you know if I hear anything.

Diablo is most likely facing BJ Flores later this year on showtime, with winner facing Tarver. They wanted to fight Drozd in Moscow but the money they were proposed was laughable.

Also with sauerland losing their TV contract there were some talks about Huck growing a pair after all this years and fighting Diablo in Poland, wont believe it untill its official tho.
