Keith Idec just reported that Canelo-Kovalev and Canelo-GGG are likely the only two fights DAZN will approve for Canelo’s next fight.
That likely means it’s probably going to be Canelo-GGG next. These Kovalev negotiations don’t seem to be heading anywhere.
Kovalev rejected the first offer and said it was way too low. He also has a fight in August that he can’t get out of without sacrificing the WBO title. Since Canelo wants to fight for that title, it seems Kovalev-Yarde is on schedule to happen. The only thing that could stop it would be a step aside fee. Since there’s already an issue with how much Kovalev will make for Canelo, I doubt he’s going to want to pay that fee to Yarde on top of it.
The only issue with the GGG negotiations was site location, which yahoo sports reported wasn’t even really that much of an issue.
I think Golden Boy made its move to try to get Kovalev on the cheap, he said no, so they’ll move on to GGG and try to get Kovalev afterwards.
