Maybe I’ve been spoiled by the quality of big fight cards in the past but I find the announced undercard for the Joshua vs Usyk rematch rather underwhelming.
The hype surrounding Hrgovic is also rather excessive for a heavyweight who has fought no top level opponents yet and still won’t have following the ZZ fight.
I’ve heard this all before when good amateur heavyweights have become professionals and so I don’t subscribe to the idea that he’s being avoided - the situation for the IBF eliminator was unfortunate and imo just bad timing with some already signed up to fights while others were injured (Joyce).
After the ZZ fight, which Hrgovic should win, if Hrgovic’s reps offer decent money then I’m sure a good established opponent will come forward and give Hrgovic the step up in class he desperately needs. If they don’t offer decent money then obviously Hrgovic will remain untested at top level.
Is C Smith the most inactive high level fighter out there? A part of me thinks he became too comfortable after the WBSS payday. Hopefully not, but if so he'll struggle at elite 175 level [at which the above mentioned fight is not].
Fair play to Hooker and Cobbs for getting themselves a payday on a high profile show...

Any rumblings if dazn will pick up the US portion of the AJ card? Or do you think it’s more wide open than just going to dazn? Thanks
