    :lol: Forced Ward into retirement?
    If Ward wanted to go on he could have just vacated the damn belt and come up with a BS reason.

    It can't be blocked, according to Beterbiev. He said, he can fight anywhere he wants to and that he doesn't have any promotional obligations because his contract with Yvon Mitchel has ended.

    Less than a month ago he was interviewed by MatchTV (a big Russian sports channel).

    Here are some interesting quotes from it:
    So, his situation is not that bright, frankly speaking... He says he's free, but he's in limbo, in fact. He expects the dispute gets settled after the first hearing [ha-ha], but it can take months (if not more)...

    I hope TR signs him, they put on his last fight after winning the purse bid for next to nothing. Perhaps they can sign him and start paying the man.

    The one thing that I do like about the UFC is that the best fighters pretty much always rise to the top eventually. Yet in boxing, Beterbiev is a highly skilled, exciting fighter in his prime, and he fights in a good division, yet he is totally unknown to casual fans.

    He can just fight out of Grozny as long as foreign official are present and everything is sanctioned while the background stuff is sorted out. He does not HAVE to fight out of Canada.

    He's a typical Haymon product. Paid handsomely when he enters the ring (once per year) and is not allowed to fight the more marketable products in the stable like Adonis.

    This career is going nowhere fast and by the time he's free of his canadian promoter and Haymon...he'll be on the wrong side of 35yrs old.

    Forget him and move on.

    They might find themselves paying the other man (whose name starts with Y). :D

    Beterbiev is just plain stupid. He is going to court one fight away from a championship fight because his promoter didn't give him what he expected... But Beterbiev didn't want to fight during Ramadan, and had a shoulder injury. Quebec's court system is as fast as it's healthcare system: which means don't expect to see anybody anytime soon. Even the supreme court said it was getting way too sllllooooowww and ruled that some people should be set free without a trial because of the too long delays. Murderes have been set free for that reason. Beterbiev will probably loose and if he wins it will take months and could go to the apeal court. If Beterbiev just accepted the situation (his promotion company did bring him to the door of a championship fight), he would have been fighting more often this year and would have make money. Now he is waiting and doing nothing.
