I hope Callum Johnson wouldn't say now that he is only 32 yo with only 17 fights."Too young and unexperienced" to take the fight against Beterbiev.
I understand that the only reason this fight is being ordered is that he's told the IBF he wants the fight. Of course, he could back out, although I'd hardly blame him if he did. MAJOR props if he goes through with the fight.
This is the difference between Matchroom and their fighters and Warren and their fighters. If Matchroom and Johnson dont take this fight, i will not post for 6 whole months. 6 month period starts January 1st 2055 People never read the small print
Anyone who did a number on Buglioni like that, will forever have my thanks. Great stuff by Johnson if he takes this fight, that a lot of others are too scared to take.
They are feeding Callum to the lions after what he did to Frankly Baloney. They should really be offering Anthony Yarde to Spartacus.
I think he'll take it, Johnson is fearless and understands that this is probably his only opportunity at a world title. Don't see this going more than 2-3 rounds though(should be exciting while it lasts). Johnson is going to come out going for it just like he did against Buglioni. Not a very good idea to go toe to toe with Beterbiev.
I wonder if Beterbeiv can sign a deal with Hearn after the fight? His issues are on their way to being resolved with Yvon Michel now I believe.
