Micki Nielsen has caught pneumonia so his fight against junior Anthony Wright is off. It's likely to be re-scheduled.

The power this Dmitry Kudryashov has is something else. I believe he won't be steered towards the two Russian belt holders, which leaves Huck and Hernandez. How do you guys think those fights play out?

Hard to say as Kudryashov is largely untested but I have no doubt he'd knock Hernandez spark out. I doubt either would go anywhere near him as they both seem way too contempt on defending their paper titles against lackluster opposition.

Usyk will likely get to Huck first and get that shot soon. He should win. What a fight that would be...Usyk v Kudryashov. Power v. Skill.

Rakhim will now fight Junior Anthony Wright for the vacant IBO title, an undefeated prospect 13-0 with 1 draw against another undefeated prospect. Junior Anthony Wright was scheduled to fight Micki Nielsen earlier this month.
