Izu is an an exciting prospect. Currently 17 wins from 17 fights, 14 by KO. But needs to land a big fight.

Izu Ugonoh Could Replace Szpilka as Breazeale's Opponent On Feb 25th

Organizers are seriously considering replacing Polish heavyweight Artur Szpilka with fellow Pole Izu Ugonoh as Dominic Breazeale’s opponent for a nationally televised February 25 fight.

The Szpilka-Breazeale bout, a 10-rounder, is supposed to be part of a free FOX broadcast that’ll feature a title defense by unbeaten WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder in the main event at Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Alabama.

But the word is that FOX executives are concerned about airing a bout between two heavyweights coming off knockout defeats.

A final decision is expected soon, but Ugonoh is eager to supplant Szpilka and get great exposure on American television. Wilder will fight Poland’s Andrzej Wawrzyk.

I do not understand Fox's position. It makes no sense. This is a good fight. Both fighters lost to current world champions. It's like saying not to make Brook-Khan because they're both coming off the back of defeats.

Already said he was much promising ages ago, I think I was the first one on this forum actually.
