    He really didn't. Watch their olympic semi-final bout if you get the chance.

    Hrgovic is no boogeyman and he doesn't deserve his ibf ranking based on his resume but I would be very surprised if Yoka goes near him.

      I would think it'd be every boxers dream to win a world title . these dudez passing up at a chance faster than a rabbit gets boned. Fight for low money then when you win a title that's the ultimate bargaining chip!!!

              He never got caught officially just dodged multiple drug tests. He was suspended for 1 year.

              I saw their olympic fight I thought Yoka won wasn't a blow out but he's the more athletic of the two and puts his punches together better.

                Is Yoka another fraud that will duck Hrgovic?

                  Seen them battle in the Amateurs, I doubt this fight happens right now just for an Eliminator, maybe later down the line with a Belt Involved. Also not getting Yoka out of France either

                    A fight of this magnitude involving Yoka needs a large crowd & the only place it will happen is in France. It won’t happen without a crowd. They will want the gate. I see team Yoka declining. They will keep him busy while they wait for crowds. They can put on smaller cards with lesser opponents until they can maximize the gate once crowds are allowed to attend. Yoka is a draw in France. He might be a logical opponent for any champion who wants a lucrative voluntary title defence. Yoka may not need to go the eliminator route.
