Michael Hunter should fill in for Gassiev

[Rgoodwin]

Hunter would be game to take that Dawejko fight on short notice

Hearn said today on ifl that he is announcing big heavyweight fight to replace it ( maybe povetkin or zhang)

[oogiebe]

SOKO vs Dawejko would be a barn burner!

[Rgoodwin]

Is Dawejko still on this card?

They only said that Gassiev would pull out, not that the fight was cancelled so maybe?

Hernandez Steps In For Injured Gassiev, Rematch With Dawejko Set

Joey Dawejko will encounter a familiar face Saturday night.

BS.com has been informed that Rodney Hernandez has agreed to fight the veteran heavyweight from Philadelphia on very short notice. Their 10-round rematch will be part of the Maurice Hooker-Jose Ramirez undercard at College Park Center in Arlington, Texas.

Dawejko was supposed to fight former IBF/WBA cruiserweight champion Murat Gassiev (26-1, 19 KOs, 1 NC), who has moved up to the heavyweight division. Russia’s Gassiev withdrew from their fight last week, though, due to a shoulder injury.

Hernandez didn’t hesitate Tuesday when the fight with Dawejko was offered to him, once other opponents turned it down. The 30-year-old Hernandez (13-7-2, 4 KOs) is fresh off an upset of Nigerian prospect Onoriode Ehwarieme (17-1, 16 KOs), whom Hernandez knocked out in the first round of their June 1 bout at Soboba Casino Resort in San Jacinto, California.

The 29-year-old Dawejko (19-7-4, 11 KOs) last fought March 9 in Verona, New York. Dawejko dropped a 10-round majority decision that night to Russian contender Sergey Kuzmin (15-0, 11 KOs) at Turning Stone Resort Casino.

Dawejko and Hernandez fought to an eight-round split draw in April 2017 at MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Maryland.

DAZN will stream the Dawejko-Hernandez and Hooker-Ramirez matches live Saturday night.

Hernandez is a tough individual. Could have the makings of a cracking fight.

Hunter will be fighting Kuzmin instead
