Comments Thread For: Usyk, Povetkin To Take Interim Fights In Lieu of Direct Showdown

But where tf is their announcement of the April 20th card?

[DuckAdonis]

Povetkins management isnt ready to cash him out just yet. They still have the power to demand a comeback fight for Povetkin after his loss to Joshua. I hope he looks good vs Hunter, but he could lose this fight. If he does look good against Hunter the Usyk fight will have a little more hype around it

Hrgovic gunna be on the card aswell. Guarantee he'll be fighting one of the usual Polish suspects

Quick, somebody wake up David Price

Takam hasn't won a fight in 2 years ffs

LOL, Povetkin is an interim fight, is DAZN so desperate, that they are actually billing this as a relevant fight? Wow, it makes me sick to see posters excited by this BS

My thoughts exactly. Trying to milk this non-event for all it's worth

[Citizen Koba]

That isn't necessarily so bad, UNLESS Hunter defeats Povetkin, which he might.

Do we really need a Usyk / Hunter rematch?

He well might. Sasha Povetkin is definitely starting to show his age and I rate Hunter quite highly and think he's an improving fighter.

But no. I'm really not convinced there's any reason to see Hunter vs Usyk II

He won his last fight

The fight goes beyond boxing though, got political implications. Taking this **** real serious

For Usyk it wouldn't be bad lol. And he'd have an argument for a title shot right there without any questions about him handling HW power being answered yet more than likely.

I can understand this from Usyk's teams pov & its smart, but after all this Uysk vs Povetkin next talk this sounds like a much less exciting path.
