      Looking forward to this fight, first proper fight of the year considering last weekends mismatches. Decent undercard too, looking forward to seeing Hrgovic and Gevor V 'gods power' will be fun.

      Anyone know if it will be on the ITV/WBSS website?

        I think the average boxing fan is totally asleep at the wheel if they are not invested in these CW's. This division is deep and exciting- a ton more so than the more established HWs.

        Usyk is #9 on my personal P4P list. This guy is a excellent boxer, smart in the ring, and has "just enough" power to still be destructive and fun. I got him over Briedis, but that championship match of this tourney is gonna be epic.

            Briedis is highly underrated, i'd maybe even favour him to beat Dorticos and Gassiev.

            That being said, i think Usyk is a special kind of fighter and he will show it in this fight with a great boxing performance.

              This. In my eyes this is the final. Gassiev just might prove me wrong though.

                  I like his mindset, not arrogant, not ****y just focus on training and fight.

                    Shame this tournament didn't get a lot of love.
                    Especially the Cruiserweight side of things.

                    WAR USYK!!!
