Overview
- Rossel filed a civil suit in Miami-Dade County on Oct. 30 alleging battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping and intentional infliction of emotional distress tied to an Oct. 27 incident at a Miami nightclub.
- MVP said it is gathering information before deciding next steps, and multiple outlets report the Nov. 14 event could shift to December with dates such as Dec. 12 or Dec. 19 under consideration.
- Replacement options under discussion include Francis Ngannou and Nate Diaz, who have been approached, with other names reported such as Anthony Joshua and Terence Crawford.
- Ryan Garcia is viewed as unlikely after Oscar De La Hoya said Golden Boy’s DAZN deal precludes a Netflix fight, and Eddie Hearn noted Joshua’s DAZN exclusivity would require the platform’s approval.
- The planned bout was a 195‑pound exhibition for Netflix with knockouts permitted and AI-assisted scoring, a format that had already drawn scrutiny due to the fighters’ size disparity.
