Usyk vs Gassiev might be pushed back til June/July

[Eff Pandas]

Wut the hell???? Why?

If no one is injured they better not be pushing it back? Usyk roll his ankle dancing or something?

❌📆 Murat Gassiev revealed that his team have told him his WBSS final against Oleksandr Usyk could be pushed back from May 11th to sometime in June or July. [@BehindTheGloves]

Maybe its finally dawned on them Saudi Arabia is a ****ing ****** idea

I heard Russia was coming with a bid and wanted the final. I think the places like Dubai or the Middle East have typically been flaky when it comes to gathering the funds and going through with fights. Could also be the WBSS wanting both finals close to each other and with Groves' injury he's out for a few months.

A buzzkill nonetheless.

LOL. Yea I can't argue with you there. I had forgotten thats where they were supposed to fight.

Those middle eastern boxing deals are sketchy like 90% of the time I seems like. And 90% might be a conservative estimate.

I don't think I could name a single meaningful that's happened in the Middle East or North Africa.

Usyk is in serious trouble if this ends up in Russia

Indeed.
I can think of about 2 dozen where "serious investors" in the mid east were supposedly securing the deal but never came through.
