Comments Thread For: Fanlong's Team Expects He'll Still Get IBF Title Shot After Beterbiev-Deines 9/25

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Meng Fanlong's handlers expect that his shot at Artur Beterbiev's IBF light heavyweight title has been postponed, not canceled. The unbeaten Chinese contender is the IBF's mandatory challenger for Beterbiev's belt. They were scheduled to meet March 28 at Videotron Centre in Quebec City, Canada, but their 12-round, 175-pound championship match was scrapped due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

So Beterbiev will be fighting Meng, Dienes and Pascal. Smh....

LOOKING FORWARD to all of this. Beterbiev-Bivol is THE fight at 175, though.

The Beterbiev-Bivol fight seems to be pushed away even more as time goes on. ****.

Basically the fight should've happened in the U.S. at the 'Bubble'.

So the guy earned his shot, got told it would be in the US, travelled to the US to train and prepare for it, then Arum moved the fight to Russia?
