Okay, I almost laughed out loud... I can admit it. I can't believe he tried so hard to get out of the fight (and seek other options) instead of just accepting a straight shot at the IBF vs a "green" AJ. I think he would've won that fight.
relax all. That fight will happen. A fight as big as this one needs time for TV commercial sales, PPV sales, spring makes for a stadium for 3x-4x the ticket sales, promotional time with press conferences all over England, Germany and Ukraine. Give more time to get as many organizations to get on board and sanction it etc etc etc. A december 10 date for a fight that could be one of the biggest in years needs time to promote. Both sides want it so it will happen IMO
A huge disappointment for boxing fans.................Vlad still has the balance, power, skills to continue but does he really want to fight again or retire? I would think his injury is legit and he was very serious about the rematch with Fury. Vlad should come back and fight as often as he can before he runs out of time................Vlad has the rest of his life to relax and take it easy, his time is limited in the sport of boxing, so fight as much as possible while he he still can.............
