There is zero question mark about GGG’s nationality. He’s from Kazakhstan - end of discussion.
Have a read of the @Saintpat post re FOTY choices. I think there were better fights from an action standpoint that year, but it was “The Fight of...
One of my favourite fights. Literally no downside to this as Tito is matched perfectly against Mayorga and kicks his ass. And I really enjoy...
