Former world cruiserweight title challenger Michael Hunter 16-1 (11 KOs) will continue on his quest towards the heavyweight championship when step he faces Fabio Maldonado 26-2 (25 KOs) at the MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Maryland on May 25, live on DAZN in United States and on Sky Sports in the UK.
Hunter jr has racked up four impressive wins at heavyweight since moving up and is already in knocking on the door of some major fights, having already been considered in the mix as a potential Anthony Joshua opponent to replace Jarrell Miller for June 1st.. Maldonado has only lost twice in 28 outings and his only defeats have come in step up fights quite recently..
Regardless, Hunter is adamant that he won’t take anything for granted on May 25th, emphasising that there is too much at stake at this point in his career to be complacent.. He’s here to stay as a heavyweight and has intentions on making some major moves very soon..
Following the collapse of the scheduled Main Event between Oleksandr Usyk and Carlos Takam the new feature event will be between undefeated lightweight star Devin Haney, against Antonio Moran on what will be his DAZN debut. In addition, rising heavyweight Filip Hrgovic takes on what I would consider an overmatched Gregory Corbin in the Croatians US debut while WBC female super lightweight champion Jessica McCaskill looks to unify the division against WBA champion Anahi Sanchez.
