Comments Thread For: Hearn: Really Hard To Find Opponents For Dmitry Bivol

[_Rexy_]

I think his next 2 fights will be BJS in the UK, and then if he wins, Jacobs in the US. Apparently BJS already agreed to fight Smith when signing for Matchroom. Jacobs is going to be put into the position to fight the Smith/BJS winner 2nd half of the year.

Its gunna depend on what Canelo wants, Hearn reckons he fancies the BJS fight, sounds like bull****. But if Canelo does actually want BJS, the Golovkin fight is possible in the UK, DAZN could go with it with the numbers Golovkin does in Germany.

Benavidez should happen if the WBC do the right thing, with Smith being somewhat of a mandatory, unlikely though

Diamond belt mandatory is a weird thing though. Guys typically don't use it because it gives them an unfavourable purse split IIRC, but it's a fight I would like to see. I've made no bones about my thoughts on Benavidez. (top talent at 168) Also I thought Hearn said "no" to Smith/BJS. But promoters change their opinions by the minute, so who knows? Canelo says Andrade is "too boring" and that he hasn't fought anyone. If he fights BJS that makes him a hypocrite IMO.

Smith/Jacobs is pretty appealing IMO. But not sure it appeals to anyone other than huge boxing fans.

Canelo is a big fight, but it won't happen. Only big fight he has in the UK is against BJS.

Benavidez and Plant are the fights to make.

I think Bivol will come down
Thinking Canelo will go back down , that’ll be a huge fight
Obviously with a tad of marinating

Korea has zero boxing scene, and no one gives a **** about it over there, a media tour wouldnt do much either, the best way to do it is to get him on a korean tv gameshow, he doesnt even have to speak korean, just have him say anneyeoung haseyo & they would go wild lol.

Why is everyone mentioning Korea? Bivol has Korean blood but he's Russian, and boxing is big in Russia.

Did you read the article? Hearn says hes planning a fight there as Bivols half korean, with a media tour etc.

Which will be very tough, Korea is not really a 'sporty' kinda nation baseball is pretty popular, and football to an extent mainly because of Son. like i said the boxing scene there is non existant, the shows they do have are like 0-2 guys headlining agaisnt debutants.
I would love it if the scene popped off somehow, Korean guys have epic chins and are tough as hell just like the Japs usually are.

Jesus, that's a worse idea than Saudi Arabia lmfao. No, didn't read the article. Watching the fights lol.

And a press tour? Can Bivol even speak Korean?

What about getting Fanlong Meng out there, would he get them all riled up?

Haha, Hearn doing a card in Korea now. Also hear him say hes been asked to do a card in Azerbaijan next year by the President or some ****, its how he ended up with Majidov, favour to the President, lol
