    Hey @PolishNavy can you translate the following post from Izu on Facebook. The auto translate is pretty tough to read through...

    Just a summary :)

    Hughie would be literally crazy to take Izu on.

    Sadly I don't think this will happen

    I wouldn't call you crazy at all. In my view, Ugonoh is one of the best HW prospects at the moment along with Granat and of course Hughie.

    7 years as a pro.

    Turns 30 next week.

    Biggest win was against the mighty Vincente Sandez. Someone who was low even on Charles Martin's list of wins.

    But he's "the top heavyweight prospect!"

    Are you guys ******ed? Blind? Both?

    I hope none of you criticize Wilder. Even before Stiverne, Wilder fought better guys than ****ing Ugonoh.

    It's called an opinion, ******. Ugonoh has fought similar opponents as most other prospects, and when you judge prospects who fought limited opposition, you go by the eyetest.

    Sandez was probably Martin's second best win before he fought for a world title. Are you butthurt because someone claimed he could beat Hughie Fury?

    I don't give a **** about Hughie. Hughie looks like **** to me too, but at least he's incredibly young so it's excusable. And even he's fought better opponents than Ugonoh.

    Sandez wasn't even remotely close to Martin's top wins. And even if he was, that still makes Ugonoh look bad.

    Why are you even calling Ugonoh a prospect? Since when is a 30 year old who's been pro for 7 years a prospect?

    The "eyetest." Right. "Oh he looks amazing against complete bums, therefore he'll knockout top 10 guys!"

    Get the **** out.

    Given the track record of Team Fury I don't think it would shock anyone to see this fight scraped.

    You get the **** out, *****.

    And specificially said COMPARED TO OTHER PROSPECTS WHO FOUGHT SIMILAR LEVEL OPPONENTS. When you judge fighters who fought similar level of opposition, you can only go by the eyetest. Yes, he should be stepping up soon, but some of us HW fans are willing to give him some more time. If that makes you feel buthurt, find a way to deal with it.

    Is "the Black Pole" his fighting name or just what the ladies are calling him?

    Really? What other "prospects" have resumes as bad as Ugonoh's?

    Parker? He was fighting Brian Minto and Kali Meehan within 2 and 3 years of turning pro.

    Hughie? Rudenko and Kassi within 2 and 3 years of turning pro.

    Even the infamous Wilder took on Fraudley and Malik Scott in less time than it took Ugonoh to reach champs like Sandez.

    Are you just looking Ugonoh's fights with no-name trash? Are you using that as a meter stick?

    I'll tell you right now, that's not good enough. I don't care how fast he knocked out "Ricardo Humberto Ramirez," it doesn't mean **** when the guy is completely unheard of, and has fought no one anyone has ever heard of.

    Otto Wallin, Cassius Chaney, Michael Wallisch, Robert Alfonso, Agit Kabayel, Trey Lippe, Ilja Mezenjev, Sergey Kuzmin, Oscar Rivas, Simon Kean, Marcin Siwy, and so on and on. Some are older than the rest, some have been pro for longer and should've stepped up already, but they're all prospects and open to be judged by the eyetest. Ugonoh is among those who should be stepping up, and given that he wants Hughie Fury, he realizes that too.
