WBC light heavyweight champion Adonis Stevenson walked away from an HBO showdown with WBO champion Sergey Kovalev, jumping ship to Showtime for an expected fight with IBF/WBA champ Bernard Hopkins. However today Hopkins signed to fight Kovalev in November on HBO leaving Stevenson alone at the altar.
“We really thought we were going to go into a fight with Bernard Hopkins, but he was too greedy,” Stevenson’s promoter Yvon Michel told TVA Sports. Michel stated that Hopkins wanted nearly 75% of the money offered by Showtime. So Stevenson will now fight TBA on September 27th at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. That card will also feature light heavyweights Tavoris Cloud and Artur Beterbiev in the co-feature.
What's the deal with Briggs?
It looks like a publicity stunt to me. It's no coincidence that the restaurant is empty and video cameras are rolling.
Where is the PAC/Algieri fight?
What's the deal with Briggs?
You think he gets the win huh? Will be a tough test.
I'm glad Hopkins vs Kovalev was made. This will be another great win for B-Hop to put on his ATG resume.
I do. I like Sergey's skillset, but B-Hop has constantly flourished in these scenarios and beaten a bevy of dangerous punchers. To be honest, I really don't see this being that close of a fight.

Don't have a great feel for this fight, would it be crazy to pick a Kovalev decision? Know it hasn't happened since like 2010.What round will Kovalev finish Caparello? champcruthik
