    I have no idea what the criteria would be but I would guess that the minimum requirement would be to hold a license to fight? It’s not that I don’t think he could get one, but if you aren’t legally registered to fight, how can you be in a position to invoke your right? He clearly wouldn’t get one btw if it was clear that his reason was so he could challenge the champion, if that would have been a possibility then wilder would have fought him to get some kind of validity into his resume.

    hes Emeritus status WBC champ, which means he can return anytime he wants. He's too busy now though, he's mayor of Kiev, a very big city

    Don't you guys remember how he was during his days with HBO? Starting only a few years after his retirement. Lennox has always been a terrible commentator saying **** that makes little to no sense.

    He has never improved. Surely he's had advice from other broadcasters with HBO and others. But he's as bad as he's always been. Rarely if ever adds anything to what you are watching, which is incredible as he was a boxer!

    I loved Lennox as a fighter but he's always been god awful commentator. And worse than just being bad, he's extremely stingy with giving any credit to other HWs. Still has a massive chip on his shoulder.

    he annoyed me last week on the fury and wilder fight.

    he kept going fury is smothering his own work! He needs to step back!

    that was the point Lennox, smother and bully wilder so he couldn’t get that right hand off. Jeez
