    Kovalev vs Shabranskyy now for the vacant WBO

    These vacant fights seem to be keeping the top guys apart. Anyone else think they've already earmarked Light-Heavy for WBSS next year?

    Shabranskyy isn't even in their September rankings. Gvozdyk has gotta be pissed with how this all turned out

      After Shabransky gets krushed Arum would not allow Gvozdyk to fight Kovalev in the near future
      the aging p!mp from Haiti is way easier for a schooled fighter like Gvozdyk to take a belt from

        Nicely shared them out aint they, one to HBO, one to ESPN, one off to Russia, other in Showtimes hands. Good luck with unifications.

            Wtf? A title shot coming off back to back losses? Classic boxing politics. If it was at least against a decent opponent, it would be understandable...

              I wonder how Barrera feels right now. He turned down 300-350K (?) for Kovalev because he wanted to fight for a title, and now a fighter he knocked out is getting a nice payday and a title shot.

                    Much better opponent than the bums that Stevenson and Beterbiev are fighting though... As for those losses, first one really wasn’t, second one was stopped under very sketchy circumstances. Kovalev is still top at LHW if his will and motivation are there...
