Once presented as a future star at super middleweight, the Cuban now sits at 12-2 with no confirmed return date and serious questions about his future at 175 pounds.

Injuries, surgeries, and pneumonia contributed to his 11-month absence following the Ortiz fight. Those health problems explain one layoff. They do not explain why eight more months have passed…
Oleksandr Usyk is set to hang up the gloves following his next outing, with Deontay Wilder expected to be the opponent for his ‘farewell’ fight. However, fellow pound-for-pound star Terence Crawford would prefer to see the Ukrainian take on a newly-crowned heavyweight world champion instead. Usyk was pushed to the limit by Dutch kickboxer Rico Verhoeven in his last outing earlier this year, despite that being just a second pro boxing bout for the controversial challenger. That performance has convinced 39-year-old Usyk that it is time to walk away from the sport and protect his undefeated record, but the three-time…
