Dan Raphael: Usyk Vs Povetkin in the USA

[pillowfists98]

I don't think Povetkin is shot at all. In decline a bit but still dangerous, he had more success against Joshua than most expected.

Ukrainian vs Russian in the US.

Nice..

[Pigeons]

Good fight. If they put it in Chicago, I'll go.

[Mammoth]

Brook vs Vargas is an undercard fight?

Hearn said May 18 is the target date, with Chicago as a possible location, for the southpaw Usyk (16-0, 12 KOs), 32, of Ukraine, to face contender Povetkin (34-2, 24 KOs), 39, of Russia, in a fight that would mark Usyk's official entrance into the heavyweight division.


Hearn said he is also hoping to finalize the fight between Brook and Vargas -- weight to be determined but between 147 and 150 pounds -- for either late May or early June, at a location on the West Coast to be determined.


DAZN schedule right now for Spring

April 5 or April 26 - SSR/Estrada II and Roman/Doheny
May 4 - Canelo/Jacobs
May 18 - WBSS Emmanuel Rodriguez/Naoya Inoue
June 1st - Joshua/Miller
June 15 - WBSS Mairis Briedis/Krzysztof Glowacki
Sept 15 - Canelo/Jacobs vs GGG

Andrade/Saunders is already in the works and would land in that May-Aug range. If GGG signs with DAZN he has to fight around June to be ready for Sept against the winner of Canelo/Jacobs. And you still have guys like Munguai, Callium Smith, Bivol/Joe Smith winner who will all be fighting in Spring/Summer as well. DAZN loading up some big fights

It's a tough test for Usyk. Povetkin is not shot.

meh...i disagree...we shall agree to disagree.....hes every bit as shot as AJ fans claim ortiz is....if ortiz is shot then so is povetkin

Angel Acosta has a March date, Ryan Garcia says he returns in March alls well. Munguia has/had an April date. Whyte vs Breazeale could land on DAZN. April 20th is an O2 date, they may still get a few Heavyweight fights for it.

Excellent Card but yeah I agree with other post but I hope going head to head with Wilder vs Fury II is not the plan if the Rumors are true that they're going with May 18th

[BigZ44]

Usyk has major ****ing balls if this is actually what happens, if he's willing to go for Povetkin in his first fight at the weight, you'd have to think with a win, he may push his WBO mandatory position and go directly for Joshua after one fight

[Mammoth]

Neither fighter is "shot".
