Sirenko, Ruiz, Hunter, Demirezen, Wilder and Ortiz have not fought this year and have nothing scheduled. Ruiz is said to be demanding too much money, and he doesn't seem to want to fight anymore. Sirenko seemed like a good, talented up-and-coming heavyweight, but he's been missing this year. Demirezen did well in his past fight, but seems to have retired due to poor promotion. Has Ortiz retired? Why has Hunter not been fighting? Also: Dychko, Makhmudov and Sanchez have not had a meaningful fight in 2023 and have nothing scheduled, probably the result of having poor promoters. I know Wilder was in negotiations for a fight with Joshua. But what about the others? Are there any potential fights in discussions for them?
I believe Hunter's career slumped not because of his own choosing. Something about promotion an the likes.
