Tony Yoka announces he has a fight with Murat Gassiev, which is scheduled for 11 rounds in Moscow, ESPN and L'Équipe report.

According to ESPN, the reason was the injury to his spine. In particular, the British boxer Joe Joe, who has been in Moscow, may have been injured by Tony Yoka.

L'Équipe also reports that Yoka will not take part in the WBA Arena fight in Moscow on 11 rounds, and that the promoter is to blame for the injury.

The promoter said that Gassiev is the WBA “regular” champion, and therefore the fight is for the official WBA belt for the WBA heavyweight title. ESPN notes that Yoka will defend the WBA regular heavyweight title, and if Yoka wins, he will become the new unified WBA champion.

ESPN also reports that the fight between Yoka and Gassiev was scheduled for 25 rounds, which would have been the first fight after the injury. L'Équipe adds that the fight was scheduled to take place after the injury due to a positive test for doping control.
