It's a literal 59 day turn around for Madrimov and in today's games that is insane at the elite level. Maybe Zayas will be on standby or with a win Bohachuk goes right into an Ortiz rematch instead?
i'm not sure israil will make it to the vergil fight or serhii either if he wins. maybe they announced the fight to give them more time to lock in an opponent or they can use israil not making as an excuse to fight a lesser opponent. i heard there were four opponents that were reached out to, israil & xander being two of them. vergil apparently said he'll fight anyone & the promotion went with israil. i could see golden boy having charles conwell as a back up
