"The doctor prescribed me testosterone to fight depression and it really helped," Briggs told Sky Sports. "Before I started taking testosterone, there were times when I wanted to commit suicide." But I was able to return to the family. I did nothing to improve my performances in the ring, I did it to survive. I then tried to clean the body and voluntarily volunteered to get tested. I failed him and led many people, including myself. "
Wow, Stiverne and Joyce beef are taking steam. Stiverne put out Joyce out of the gym because of stink move Joyce did, tough to say what it was. Stiverne thinks Joyce won't go far and denies Joyce's claim of beating him up in sparring.
Andrey Afonin/Viktar Chvarkou on 27 November. Chvarkou had a decent amateur career and he recently beat Denis Bakhtov.
Dillon Carman will fight undefeated KO artist Mladen Miljas on December 1 for the Canadian heavyweight title. If he is successful in his title fight than Dillon Carman will face Lenroy Thomas for the Commonwealth belt. Miljas will have one more tune-up fight before the fight with Carman. Carman has been inactive since late last year.
@houmzz what if Thomas loses vs Allen? Isn't the winner of Carman - Miljas then facing Allen? Because I think the Commonwealth belt is on the stack in their fight ( Thomas vs Allen ) P.S. I think Miljas has a huge chance for a KO against Dillon Carman.
