Big story today in one of the biggest newspapers in Germany (BILD). I know he's not very well known but this is probably the first case like that. A boxer is sending out contracts with a script how opponents are allowed to approach a fight and how they should fight. Kage, 21 years old and 5-0-0 with 5 KOs as a pro fixed his fights and bought his KO wins. He sent out contracts with some sort of a script. His opponents weren't allowed to fight at 100%, they had to follow a script Kage sent out in the contract. He threatened his opponents with a 20k fine if they do not follow the script. There is massive evidence against Kage and the case already went to the BDB. A fraud getting exposed. This is a good day for boxing even it's just a small fish. @AttilaHun
Rumour has it that Deontay tried to send a script to Malik Scott for their fight, but Wilder couldn't write and Scott couldn't read. So they had to do it over the phone.
So what happens to the other side of those contracts? Do they have some penalty coming for agreeing to dive or will it not be followed up?
Look at these guys he beat.... 0-1-0 0-9-0 10-11-3 0-1-0 0-1-0 ...doubt there is a penalty which would be effective against these guys....but i can see a ban coming up
Of course it was a fix. An old champion diminished in speed and skill, ravaged by off-camp partying coming off a war, into a short camp with weight restrictions? Did anybody actually think Kovalev could win under those conditions?
