While I don't think it was ever official, the usual credible sources are reporting that Machachev v Prates, which was apparently being targeted for Early '27 is off at Machachev's end. No word on a potential injury or anything yet.
Rough if true. Machachev barely fights once a year as it is and there are some serious contenders waiting. I'm not an interim fan usually, but Morales v Prates makes lots of sense considering each man's position.
