So his career will sadly be more of the same... I hope not. Fight Bivol, Gvozdyk, Jack, Stevenson, Kovalev... Division is hot right now.

Great news if true. That would mean Kovalev, Beterbiev, and Bivol are all with HBO. I'd love to see Kovalev-Beterbiev after Kovalev-Alvarez. Then give me Kovalev-Bivol after that. Would give Kovalev a chance to re-unify the 3 belts he lost to Ward.

Its not great news because Beterbiev wouldn't want to fight under that promotion and if I was him i would just hang my gloves (retire) untill 2021... Gym group are piece of ****s all there fighters have some kind of issues. And even if he did fight with the likes of Kovalev nand bivol and your 💯 % not satisfied you will not give it your all as your not Right frame of mind.

In Boxing those Promotional Contracts all seems as if they're "NEVER ENDING CONTRACTS"

That being said I get it, Promoters put in the time and money to build a guy up only to have him walk away clean and go sign with somebody else would be some BS. That being said do what you have to do to make your fighter happy. Beterbiev likely Felt like with GYM he wasn't never going to get a shot at Adonis Stevenson so he looked to get away and go join Top Rank

If Kovalev beats Alvarez in a very decisive manner, I think he could beat Artur.

Not at all, Prieto had moments vs Alvarez and got destroyed by beterbiev.

Kovalev is not Prieto.

Talking to HBO about unifying with Bivol is different from signing a deal with HBO.

If no announcement by Monday, what?

Sadly he revealed nothing. Not even if he will make bid for Beterbiev-Johnson 19th june. All he said is hearn want to talk to him tomorrow but he didnt confirm if he will talk to Hearn tomorrow. He will speak to Beterbiev next week when dusk go back down. Clearly he's not convinced Beterbiev want to work with him as of now.

i know, but its to show difference between Beterbiev and Alvarez.

For sure. But also styles make fights. I expect Kovalev to beat Alvarez similarly to how he beat Pascal.
Kovalev-Beterbiev or Bivol needs to happen next.
