By Adam Godfrey: Like many, I was slightly baffled by the announcement that Adonis Stevenson would be granting Andrzej Fonfara a light-heavyweight re-match, which took place on the 4th June 2017 in Montreal, Canada.

By Jeff Aranow: Light heavyweight champion Adonis Stevenson took an odd approach last Saturday night after annihilating Andrzej Fonfara in the 2nd round in their rematch by choosing NOT to call out the winner of the Andre Ward vs. Sergey Kovalev II fight. It was odd because it the logical thing for the 39-year-old Stevenson to do, especially given how one-sided his fight was with Fonfara. You have to remember; this wasn’t a fight that the boxing public was clamoring for.

Stevenson won’t be facing #10 WBC Sean Monaghan like what previously the fight that was in the pipeline for the Canadian fighter. Fonfara, 29, is an upgrade to Monaghan, but not much of one though. Stevenson already beat Fonfara by a 12 round unanimous decision three years ago in May 2014 in beating him by the scores 116-109, 115-110 and 115-110.
