Better than nothing I guess.

This is an acceptable first opponent for me, Ukraine vs Russian in Chicago is good business

Odd. He said he wouldn't fight Povetkin due to Ukraine/Russian relations.

Speaking of that, I hope it doesn't affect promotion for the Gvozdyk/Beterbiev fight. Granted it's not a PPV but I still think it's deserving of hype and a big audience even though probably more for the hardcore fans.

Usyk had a strong 2018 but man that injury killed his 2019. Then the Takam fight fell apart which didn't help matters.

On to 2020............

Hearn found a bum for his new toy to beat up.

So it's just about money? What happened to Usyk chasing legacy? This is a low reward, possibly high risk fight given Fetosov's KO %, size advantage, Usyk's first heavyweight fight, etc.

Lots of Russians in Illinois. I wonder how Gassiev is healing up.....
