    If he doesn't want it I hope he let's them know soon so that the IBF can move down the list and get a fight made already.

    I hope he does want it though, I'm a bit of an impatient person and want to see if prospects have what it takes at the top level.

    I've been hearing about Torres Jr for years now, so let's see if he is a legit contender or not.

    Good fight to be fair.

    Torrez can win that IMO as Sanchez is poor against pressure fighters.

    According to a Ring Magazine writer i follow on X the plan is for Opetaia to face Badou Jack in Riyadh in January if he is successful against Cinkara in December if he comes through unscathed .

    Wow thats a very quick return. Fair play.

    I'd be a bit surprised if Badou Jack actually fights Opetaia though.

    Mesi's fight only lasted a round, before it was called off due to a shoulder injury to his opponent.

    No footage of the full round anywhere, but these few clips give you a pretty good idea of how all three minutes went:

    Boma Brown lost via decision last night to Will Howe. Was visibly rocked a few times and gassed from the 2nd round on.

    Got the body of a Greek God but lost to the man who looks like Fury’s Kin.

    Probably the best opponent Torrez can beat. He's going to be brutally exposed sooner rather than later. Securing that mandatory status and hoping that Usyk retires and the belts splinter out again so he can fight a weak opponent for the IBF belt is his best bet at winning a major title.
