    Is he serving a silent ban or something? Was he interviewed during this fight week yet? It's been few months after we found out he had some yayo in his system, but there was no official statement about banning him or clearing him for that matter.

    I don't know I have forgotten about him a little.

    I doubt it's a slient ban but who knows.

    He got banned for cocaine

    And is pretty much end of life. Stil fresher than Chisora and Wilder though.

    He should fight big daddy Bakole.

    The majority of his case for fighting Usyk was based on the 6 fight run he went on after getting flattened by Joe Joyce especially the last 3 fights now that he lost the Wardley he's just a very uninteresting fighter to talk about.

    He already painted the ring floor with the ruined carcass of Bakole.

    I think it should be opposite. Ban for not using coke. We'd see punch counts sky rocket. 4000 combined punches by the 6 round. LOL

    How do you know Bakole wasn’t staying active in the gym in the event of a call?

    Because he had gained 35 lbs since his previous fight and his trainer confirmed he hadn't sparred in 6 months.
