Quick read

French heavyweight Tony Yoka has been forced out of his July 11 bout against WBA heavyweight champion Murat Gassiev due to a back injury. Promoters are searching for a replacement opponent, with Joe Joyce emerging as the most likely candidate. Joyce was already scheduled to appear on the same card against Artyom Suslenkov, who would in turn need a new opponent if that matchup changes.
