Why did Stiverne have only 8 fights in the last 6 years?

    It seems like Stiverne's career has been screwed. What is the reason behind it? He barely fights, 8 bouts in 6 years are simply not enough.

    BWARE is supposed to be a top 10 heavyweight boxer yet his last fight against Derric Rossy wasn't even on TV.

    He was a world champion but he could have achieved more in his career.

    You have to be mentally ill to sing with don King.

    Too many boxers these days sit on the sidelines when a 10k and a win would do so much more for their career.

    I'm pretty sure he spent time earning his mandatory spot and waiting for a title shot, then went inactive after getting his ass kicked.

    Almost every Don King fighter from the last decade has been plagued by inactivity.

    They were softening him up for Wilder and were worried that if Stiverne fought too often he might knock Wilder out by accident ...

    Don King. His fighters have always been relatively inactive. That combined with the whole fiasco where he was waiting for Vitali to decide if he wanted to retire or not also resulted in a large period of inactivity.
