    He’s going to wipe this division clean.

    They managed to find a heavyweight who's shorter than him with less reach for his step up

    Absolutely zero interest call me back when he's fighting someone worth a damn.

    Good first fight to get himself adjusted to fighting at HW

    No idea why it’s taken him 11 months to make his HW debut though since beating Bellew. A real waste of time at his age

    Both himself and Gassiev injured in training. That'll be big sparring heavyweights clouting them harder than they've ever been hit.

    He was meant to fight Takam I think?

    However he injured himself in training which caused a huge setback.

    Not a great fight but, I guess it has some intrigue to it. Just glad he's back. Takam would have been better but it is what it is, not a whole lot else available currently. Proper contender next please.

    Great fight! I think I'll fly out to Chicago to see this one live, and support Spong.

    I am so excited.

    Looks like Bivol is the undercard, wouldn't be shocked if he fought Callum Johnson.
