Is Takam retired? if so salute to the guy. wins over Yoka, Thompson, (should have a win over Perez), Forest. Very game and competitive losses to Parker, Povetkin, Chisora, Makhmudov and he caused AJ and Joyce some problems too and was taken out of those fights sooner than he should have been. One of the more unsung HW contenders of the last 15 or so years and he's always given a good account of himself while never being the a-side. I dont think any hardcore boxing fan has a cross word to say about the guy. He's been a credit to the HW division and is still pretty underrated. Would love to see the guy get one more big fight with all of the crossroads matchups being made currently with fighters in their twilight years. He definitely deserves it.
It would be if the HW division wasn't so backed up. Dubois should have to win a rebound fight maybe even two. Under different circumstances him getting a title shot coming off a loss wouldn't be the worst thing but in this situation it should not be happening.
Mihai Nistor is fighting someone named Angel Barrazza (4-2-1) February 14. His pro career has gone nowhere but I still have a soft spot for him since one of my top 2-3 favorite Usyk fights was him and Usyk in WSB.
