    I honestly don’t think Briggs can pass a physical to get sanctioned by a legit commission.

    What planet do you live on?
    Even the New York commission would sanction him.
    For a guy who is closer to his 50 than to his 40s, Briggs is a damn beast(with a little help, it seems).

    Miller is a relative nobody, and that fight would get sanctioned. Wilder is a different story.

    Yet a close to morbidly obese fatty like Miller can get a pass.

    No-one wants to fight Miller?

    He's backed by HBO dollars so he's pretty much getting to fight whoever they pick for him.

    He's in the frame for AJ & presumably is a good chance to get a shot at that second tier WBA belt as well.

    There aren't that many viable American heavyweights at the pointy end of the sport.

    Miller is one & he's well placed.

    As for Briggs, as a former lineal heavyweight champion of the world, Tyson Fury should give him a shot at his old title on the proviso that if he happens to lose he will retire permanently & never fight again.

    Put a liquidated damages clause in the contract that if he ever fights again he has to repay his purse in full.

    Let's go, champ!

    He was gonna fight Fres for the fake WBA belt but his testosterone levels were surprisingly through the roof. I'm not sure if he's still suspended.

    There’s a reason he has fought over the last few years in some of the most obscure venues it the world ... because they probably just tap you on the knee and say ‘good to go.’ Any major commission would require a guy like him to pass CAT scans to show he’s not brain damaged.

    I’m referring to brain damage. I’ve heard some things.
