I reckon Hearn has seen sense about him fighting Johnson.

Id be surprised if the fight gets rescheduled.
Probably looking for an easier fight, like Tyson Fury perhaps?
They were offered a fight after Hearn gobbed off. Hearn then shut up.

Johnson was a massive ask. Going from fighting journeymen with no ambition and not going passed 3 rounds to fighting a genuine durable and awkward opponent who they had gifted a couple of months notice rather than his usual handful of days or weeks.

Like I say. It wont be Johnson next

Either this is the case or whoever is training him doesn't really know what they are doing.

If it is genuine and they noticed it in training for the Sprott fight then I sincerely hope they haven't left it too late as otherwise iv just read it can lead to spondylolysis which my dad has. Its where the bone in the spine keeps growing or grows lump which put pressure on the disks which in turn put pressure on the nerves and every now and then its utter agony like someone stabbing you in the back and have pins and needles in your legs and cant walk very far. Whatever his trainer is doing with him, or letting him do, is not doing him any good!
