Good. He is at the peak of his powers and he should be boxing 3 times a year.

Mouhiidne was a pretty decent amateur. It will be cool to see him in the ring as a pro.

 

Just read that Kenzie Morrison has signed a multi-fight deal with BKFC.

 

Jalalov supposedly fighting April 5 against TBA in Astana.

Hopefully Dychko, but I don't believe it.

 

Lol! Now its back up on Boxrec.

You can't make this stuff up.

 

Lovejoy lives!

Apparently he's also a seasoned antique collector as well.

 

No, but Michael Hunter sure can. Man's been conning folks into thinking he wants to actually go somewhere in this sport for awhile, at least since I got into it

Sucks too because like I said, he's talented enough to get somewhere or was at some point, and looking back it does seem like he wanted to make something of his career once. Gotta wonder what happened there. Demoralized from the Povetkin draw? Personal life stuff? General lack of motivation? Someone more informed could prolly say, but I sure can't. All I can say is it's always a shame when someone with clear talent fails to capitalize on it.

 

I may be getting some of this wrong but I'll try...He left match room after the Povetkin draw, he said he left them but later said they dropped him so who knows. Then match room won a purse bid for an eliminator between Hunter and Hrgybear, hunter declined and signed with upstart promotion Triller where he fought Mike Wilson and had a draw with Jerry Forrest, he said the deal was for more money than the hrgy fight (300K) and details would be available soon, I've never seen the details. After that he left Triller for Boxxer where he fought no one if I'm remembering this right, then (maybe currently) he signed to Reyes boxing? He called out Bakole for a rematch after the Jared Anderson fight (why would you call out a guy you KOd who has no titles?) In between he was a part of some team fight league and lost an "IBA" match to Suslenkov (exhibition my ass he dropped a decision on 3 cards I believe, but that's where it currently stands). He also beat Cassius Chaney which is his biggest win this decade and he's supposed to fight Lovejoy ....if I didn't know any better I would think he's signed to Don King.

So kind of a confusing mess after Match Room, I think he would of been better if he stayed there, but who knows how much Triller threw at him at the time. Its kind of sad because he seemed poise to make a decent splash going into the 2020s.

Very welcome news.

Come on Parker. Don't take a step aside check. Force the fight and spare us of a pointless rematch, as we all hope like hell Dubois takes a fight that he loses just so Usyk can fight for Undisputed against someone he hasn't already beaten.

Watch Dubois' meantime fight be AJ though. Worse yet, watch AJ actually win and Usyk have to close his career with a pointless trilogy. Now if that wouldn't be a careful what you wish for moment

 

Also this was announced just after I got done with the previous post.

Between this and Whyte pulling out, this card is either cursed or blessed. Cause yeah, on one hand Whyte pulled out, but on the other hand Hrgovic-Joyce is prolly a better matchup, and now we're being spared from seeing another Okolie fight on our screens, for the time being.

Yeah, I'm gonna go with blessed on this one.

 

Card can still be saved, I hope that Joyce vs. Hrgovic will happen, and as for Riakporhe, an adequate replacement can be found for him as well...
