Has Nelson boxed his last fight?

Dariusz Michalczewski has suffered a serious knee injury that requires surgery and has scuppered any chances of a big fight with Johnny Nelson in the summer. Michalczewski was in training for a tune-up fight in March for the proposed WBO cruiserweight title showdown with Nelson in June.
This is bad new for both fighters. Nelson, 37 earlier this month, has already stated he wants to be kept busy this year and fight some big names.
I wonder if he'll fade away now like Naz...

Yep, I think he'll keep defending that trusty old WBO title till we're begging for mercy!

I have a terrible recurring dream where I'm sitting ringside for all 12 rounds of DeLeon v Nelson.
It ends and I get up to leave, but I can't move.....then it starts again.....
