The famous promoter Eddie Hearn spoke about the reasons for the new date for the fight for the title of absolute champion.
The reason for the postponement of the fight for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion is Ramadan. This was announced by the head of the promotional company Matchroom Boxing Eddie Hearn.
According to the functionary, the boxers did not have time to agree on the fight at the beginning of March, so it had to be postponed.
“The delay is due to the demands of the fighters. Of course, you also need to wait for the end of Ramadan. Because of this, the date was canceled in March. I am not sure that the fight will take place in April. . Maybe later that will happen, but I hope this fight will happen.
It’s great to have an undisputed champion of the world in the heavyweight division. Only Saudi Arabia can pay them that much money. I think this fight will be next, but you can never be sure,” Hearn said in an interview on iD Boxing’s YouTube channel.
We will remind, earlier the promoter of Tyson Fury confirmed the new date of the fight between his ward and Oleksandr Usyk.
