    Amateur boxing match of Former UFC/Pride/K-1 fighter Mirko Cro Cop... He was a solid amateur boxer in the European scene.

    He's a talented guy... I would have liked to of seen Gohkan Saki switch over to boxing as well instead of MMA.

    Can't forget that Alexander Ustinov and Matt Skelton were K-1 crossovers... Spong was more accomplished within that realm than they were.

    Tony Bellew (29-2-1, 19 KO) after winning the cruiserweight WBC belt, and then before David Haye (28-3, 26 KO), can now pick up the offers. And these new ones appear every now and then. The option is at least a few.

    One volunteer was Roy Jones Jr (65-9, 47 KO). The 48-year-old member of the Hall of Fame in February stopped Bobby Gunn.

    "I know Roy very well and every time we see him, he asks me to fight Tony. And especially since Tony reached the World Champion title. Anyway, a couple of weeks ago I got a message from Roya again asking him for such a duel. With great respect for him, but Tony would not like to fight such fights now. This is not an option for us - it is not hidden by Dave Coldwell, a bombardier trainer from Liverpool.

    "Most people do not advise Roy to continue his career, and Tony would not want to box with someone who was his idol when he started his career," Coldwell added. "The very fact that Roy knows me and names my name is already an honor in itself. As soon as I reached the cruiser's WBC belt, the fans started asking me about such a duel. But I immediately replied that such a fight will not. I will never take such a fight because I will not let my youthful idols be my rivals now. I admired him from an early age, he is the greatest boxer he has ever lived. If he would finish his career after winning the John Ruiz, there would be no man in the world who would say otherwise. It's a legend and a real boxing icon, so it's an honor for me to know that he knows my existence at all, "Bellew says.

    In the lobby, however, it is said that it is getting closer and closer to the agreement on Tony's revenge with "Hayemaker." Such a fight would take place in December.

    Thought the same when I First saw Badr Hari fight, that guy can box. There were rumours of him switching to sweet science back in 2011, shame It remained a rumour.

    Kownacki brought in Wallin to prepare for Szpilka in what turned out to be a massive upset.

    Ustinov fought a kickboxing bout in Seoul ages ago. I've always thought he retained a bit of the kickboxing mindset into boxing. I may be wrong as I can't remember exactly ... but I recall he would gravitate to the centre of the ring a lot.

    Really would like to see Ustinov/Ortiz happen if Ustinov beat Oquendo and Ortriz is left waiting on AJ - Wlad/Pulev/Wilder.

    Ukrainian fighter Oleksandr Zakhozhyi (2-0, 2 KOs), who specializes on Ukrainian national martial art "Spas", scored his second win on the professional boxing ring stopping 82-fight veteran Tomas Mrazek (10-66-6, 5 KOs) in four rounds on Saturday night at Karlsruhe, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

    Mrazek, who earlier in his career went the distance against Tyson and Hughie Fury, Carlos Takam and Mariusz Wach, was stopped at the second minute of round four in the fight against Oleksandr Zakhozhyi.

    23-years-old Zakhozhyi, who 6′ 9½″ tall, who knocked out Gerogian boxer Davit Gogishvili (18-6, 10 KOs) in the first round in his pro debut, is staying very active at the start of his pro career just like another young Ukrainian heavyweight Vladylsav Sirenko (3-0, 3 KOs) whose team targets 9-0 record for him by the end of the year.
