Cruiserweight and Heavyweight thread.

Sanchez has always looked like that hasn’t he?

Could be wrong though.

 

When he was an amatuer, he was in great shape.

Poor Sanchez fell victim to what many Cubans succumb to - couldn't ****ing stop eating cheeseburgers.

 

sad news no legacy, only money
From Oleksandr Usyk's latest interview with Boxing King Media:

- Will you continue to fight? Everyone asks: "Will Oleksandr Usyk continue to fight, or maybe one by one each belt will go..."
- No, I will continue to fight. Next year I want to fight Deontay Wilder. For me, I think it's interesting.
- Why Deontay Wilder? They say he's not the same as he was.
- This guy is a world champion, a very famous guy, a strong guy. He's one of the great heavyweights of the last 10 years.
- I'm curious. When did you decide that you wanted to fight Wilder? Did you tell him? Is the team negotiating?
- I'm only saying this now, exclusive information. I'm talking to my team, I say: "This is my first option, first name."
- Who is the second option?
- We're not talking about it. "Right now I only have one person — that's Deontay," Usyk said.

 

about Parker and Wardley
– You got injured, there was a situation with the WBO. When and why did you decide to give up the WBO belt?
– Listen, for me it is a very important belt – I won this belt.
When they told me: “You have to defend the WBO belt”, I answered: “Yes, I can do it, but not now”. I had a very difficult year and a half with Tyson Fury – two fights, preparation for them. Then a victory over Daniel Dubois. I say: “I don’t mind, I will do it, but not now”.
Listen, there is sport and there is business. If Parker won, it would be interesting for me. If Wardley won – it is not interesting for me. I tell it like it is.
Okay, take the belt, box, maybe later we will fight together in a big fight. I think so, – said Usyk.
the last, interim champion Fabio Wardley, who was next in line to fight the Ukrainian, received a full title.

 

I hope this match doesn't happen and that Wilder retires as soon as possible. Usyk can obviously fight whoever he wants but every world association has its own rankings and it's only right that those who deserve a chance at the title (like Kabayel and Wardley) should have it. If the champion doesn't defend the belt against the official challenger within the timeframe established by the association, it's only right that his title be vacated.

IBA's World Amatuer Championship started two days ago.

Arman Makhanov and Turabek Khabibullaev are on the Uzbek team. I don't know who Makhanov is, but Turabek is the guy who won gold at the real?...championship at Liverpool. On this tournament it will be mostly countries from Eastern Europe (Russia, Belarus) and Asian countries, bit of a mini-BRICS championship (which is a real thing BTW).
