2021 is already shedding fights at an alarming rate, and it looked as though the trend would continue when Shavkatdzhon Rakhimov tested positive for COVID last week. Luckily, Mike Coppinger reports that his Feb. 13 DAZN main event against Joseph Diaz Jr will go on as planned after two subsequent tests came back negative.
As far as the reported clash between Seniesa Estrada and Etsuko Tada, that appears to be off, as Tada is currently linked to a clash with unbeaten Thi Thu Nhi Nguyen.
As we said before, Quigley (18-1, 14 KO) vs Mosley (16-3, 9 KO) is a nice bit of matchmaking. Quigley, previously considered a strong middleweight prospect, has a lot of questions to answer after getting trucked by Tureano Johnson in 2019. It will be interesting to see how he deals with a mid-tier sort of fighter in Mosley.
