So he has announced it officially after this? http://www.bedfordtoday.co.uk/bed-sport/Matt-to-tackle-Prizefighter.6507120.jp
That would be the perfect fight for Botha at this point. I could really see him breaking through and knocking Rahman out.
I hadnt seen that one. I see what you mean. I also heard rumour that tyson fury could be the wildcard depending on hi upcoming fight.
It makes more sense for Fury to be in as the wildcard, so I wouldn't be surprised. However, I would very much prefer to see Botha in the tournament.
Cant see or hear anything happening at the mo? My guess is that Holyfield rematch could be on? But that is only a guess and only if Holyfield beats Williams! I hope he does something soon or it will be too late. I think he does deserve a rematch though. But then i am slighty biased!
Shame he cant get himself in this IBF tournament! Not that he would win, but he would go out with a bang!
Why? Botha seems to be likeable person, and his last fight with Holyfield was both competitive and exciting (taking into account that the standards for "competitive and exciting fight" in HW are nowadays somewhat lowered).
