Comments Thread For: Tony Yoka Receives IBF Invitation To Face Filip Hrgovic In Title Eliminator

[Willow The Wisp]

Tony Yoka with be the Man to releive the great Tyson Fury of his laurels in a year or two and Yoka is the next great unified Champion. While perfecting his craft as an amateur Yoka easily beat Joe Joyce twice, Filip Hrgovic twice, Con Sheehan twice, Ivan Dychko, Dean Gardiner, Jose Larduet and others, but it is his astonishing adaptation to the professional game that sets him apart from the rest of the young guard. The future is a Parisian.

Joseph Oilskin Parker would obliterate Yoka.

Yokas team got much more money behind them.
Big TV deal in Canal+.

Wasserman boxing and Sauerland have none in Germany anymore.

So maybe, if Yoka takes the fight, his team wins the purse bid. Thanks.

Why wouldn't he be he beat Hrgovic 2-1 in the amateurs and won the last 2 out of 3. Now that he's roided up he should knock him out comfortably.

I think your hats on to tight if you think Yoka won that Olympic fight against Hrgovic .

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.

I don`t know about that. Ruiz, Parker, Dubois, Zhang in China, Hrgovic in Croatia...all great lucrative options for voluntary defence. But will there by any time for voluntaries, providing mandatories in line and undisputed fight?

There will be an excuse not to take the fight come out within the next few days

If unification happens & we have an undisputed champion you can bet the undisputed champion will vacate titles. I believe Lennox vacated 2 instead of fighting John Ruiz & I can’t recall the other but think it was Chris
Byrd. So there will be vacant belts in 2023 if we finally have an undisputed champion…. Ya I don’t know about Croatia as a lucrative hot spot for boxing..

I think you are British and probably watched the BBC broadcast where 30 seconds into the fight they already had Yoka losing when he was the only one who had landed punches at that point.

Yoka was as close to winning as a one legged man in an ass kicking contest .

I guess walking forward and throwing punches without landing anything significant is how you judge a win Stuart Little.
