He says the WBA will be ordering the Bivol vs. Browne fight this week as the mandatory defense that Dmitry needs to make for his title. “So with Dmitry, Marcus Browne is the mandatory next, which I think is a great fight, which he expects to make in August,” Hearn said about the World Boxing Association planning on ordering the Bivol vs. Marcus Browne fight next week. Thinking it’ going to be just fine and dandy when he fights Marcus Browne might be an illusion for Bivol. It just opens doors for me [moving down to super middleweight for big fights] for big fights. It’s a great thing for me that I can make 168 pounds, but only for big fights,” Bivol said.
