    Takam, Povetkin and Parker deals

    So who knows the status of these three? I’m intruiged because I’ve heard a few interviews now where Eddie Hearn talks about them almost as if they are all matchroom fighters? Does he have deals in place with them?

    Earlier he was talking about what Usyk would need to do to get a Joshua fight if he beat Bellew tomorrow.

    He suggested fighting two of Chisora, Whyte, Parker, Povetkin and Takam again!

    He also separately implied that two of these three are in the running for being on the Whyte Chisora card - with one of those two likely only to end up on it and the other possibly in a January card. I’m assuming he was talking about either Povetkin or Takam?

    So who knows the deal with these three?

    Takam is signed to the promoters that Hearn is now working with in Italy, so hes pretty much Matchroom.
    Povetkins people have said he'll be on Joshua's next undercard and signing with Matchroom. I think Hearn has promotional options on a Parker fight from the Whyte fight, but wouldnt see him turning down any fight that makes sense

      Hearn can basically call on any of them when he feels like it, Ortiz is probably coming too, there are some potential matchups worth salivating over out there.

        Ryabinsky has said Hearn will be co-promoting Povetkin before he decides to retire in the not too distant future. Never heard anything on Takam. I'll look up the Parker thing.

          Takam is working with Matchroom now on some basis, Hearn has options(s) on Parker and he and Higgins get along well

            I thought Arum used to have options on Parker. Not sure what happened there.

              Yeah, don't know what happened with that relationship. Jennings and Ruiz are stuck without any opponents. Don't want to be a HW with Arum; PBC or Matchroom are the only smart options for HW's

                Arum can't even lure somebody over to beat his HW guys up. It should be interesting to see what Usyk's first move at Heavyweight will be though.

                    Also learned to stop believing everything Eddie says, he just likes to talk and be in front of the Camera and make Headlines
