    Why isn't Huni in the mix? He dominated Wardley for 9 rounds but got caught in the 10th for his only loss, but he's treated like he is a nobody. Bring him into the HW Sweepstakes.

    Itauma should fight him.

    If Itauma hit Huni with that uppercut he hit Hrgovic with in the 5th, Huni would wake up in Narnia.

    There are two guys I would love to see Itauma fight. Kayabel or Anderson. People are writing Anderson off. I'm not so sure. They are almost identical size and age. Anderson is no slouch.

    Sadly, talented capable boxers who are neither American nor British are often frozen out of the mix, until they are ruined by inactivity.

    There are at least a dozen very good Central Asian boxers who have been the victims of inactivity, such as Jalolov and Dychko.

    Still, I think Australia is a large enough market for a good promoter to get Huni into somewhat meaningful fights.

    He didn't look very good versus Clarke.

    He's been with Eddie Hearn for a while now. It's surprisingly reminiscent of the Opetaia situation.

    Is Francis still his Manager?

    Hearn had a dig about thier current contract situation couple days back indicating Mick has a difference of opinion on the contract

    Yes, and Hearn wouldn't get Hrgovic into a meaningful fight when he was promoting him.

    He only does a decent job for UK and US boxers.

    A lot harder to catch Huni clean than Hrgovic though. Still would be an interesting fight for sure.

    Yes Mick still manages him. Personally, I don't know where the contract stands but he sure hasn't been active.
