Andy Ruiz JR - Last fight took place in November,2013, winning by RTD after glass hearted Tor Hamer left the ring. I have been reading he has to lose weight now before he fights again, is that true? Alexander Povetkin - Defeated by Wlad in a wrestling contest last October. Rumours about a possible Chisora fight, but Delboy is fighting Fury next. Any news on a possible return? Robert Helenius - Looking in shape again, wants to fight very soon. Any possible opponent rumoured? James Toney - Was in talks with Roy Jones Jr and Manuel Charr for a bout in December, but after that I haven't heard anything from him anymore. Carlos Takam - Fought very well against Mike Perez in January, however, the WBC wants Perez to fight Jennings now in a WBC-eliminator. So what does Takam have to do now? Ruslan Chagaev - Last fight was in October, where he beat Jovo Pudar by unanimous decision. Haven't heard from him since then. Erkan Teper - Last fight in November. Showed some real power in his last fights against Rogan and Sprott, winning both fights by KO1. Is he planning to step up soon? Johnathon Banks - Defeated by Seth Mitchell in his last fight. Is currently training the champion of the same division he is fighting at. Does he have plans to return to the ring, or does he want to become a full-time coach. Alexander Ustinov - Last fight in November, beating David Tua to an UD. At the age of 37, he doesn't have much time to step up again. Any rumours about his next fight? Joe Hanks - Lost his last fight in July against Ruiz Jr. Nothing new since then. Francesco Pianeta - Another victim of Wladimir Klitschko. Last fought in December, knocking Robert Teuber out in the second round. Bogdan Dinu - Last official fight took place in November, 2012. I saw him sometimes fighting on Eurosport, participating in local tournaments and winning them. Why is he not stepping up in class? Kimbo Slice - Didn't he want to become the next heavyweight champion? I know he is a freak show, but is still 'undefeated'. I enjoyed his last fight against Tillyard, was quite amusing because both men were gassed out after one minute. There was a possible fight with Butterbean in the makings, but haven't heard anything from him since then.

Thanks for the update :good @ Aquamarine, ofcourse Kimbo Slice is irrelevant to the HW division. I just wondered if he had plans to continue :think
Andy Ruiz JR- preferably Jennings or Thompson, but I think his next fight will be a stay busy one and he'll be taking the big step up later this year. Alexander Povetkin- lots of options.... Ustinov, Hammer-Airch winner, Ortiz/Barrett winner. Robert Helenius- at this point he just needs to get back in the ring and get the rust off, any durable Journeyman will do. James Toney- Retirement. Carlos Takam- Rematch with Perez. Ruslan Chagaev- I'd like to see him against someone like Pianeta, if Chagaev can get motivated and in shape again I think he can be a top contender. Erkan Teper- Somebody like Dimitrenko would be good. Johnathon Banks- He's probably done, making more money as a trainer than he ever would have as a pro boxer, wouldn't be shocked to to see him fight again though. Alexander Ustinov- Would like to see him against Povetkin, or a good European level fighter. Joe Hanks- probably will face a few bums, before stepping in with someone decent again. Francesco Pianeta- I would really like to see him fight Chagaev, or a good European level guy. Bogdan Dinu- Christian Hammer, the two have beef from the amateurs(Dinu beat him 3 times I believe) Dinu has been calling him out, but Hammer wants nothing to do with him! at this point he just needs to get back in the ring, he's much better than limiting himself to BIB tournaments. he's a guy who could pick up a strap with the right kind of motivation. Kimbo Slice- Retirement.
The fight with Tilyard sure highlighted Kimbo's limitations in the boxing ring. Tilyard, being a mining worker, had a very limited preparation. Just as well for Kimbo, because it was mainly fitness that beat Tilyard. He staggered Kimbo a few times before he gassed. Kimbo very little to no potential.
