    Lol did you even read the article dude? It clearly states Bakole filed an appeal and that's why they made Yoka ineligible to fight.

      Just give to to Zhang as he is willing to fight Hrgovic. Let’s see if anyone ahead of him challenges the ruling. Kabayel is a good fighter. I have seen him a few times against Chisora & that big durable guy Hubeaux from Belgium. Imagine Kabayel outboxing Hrgovic & getting the IBF mandatory. Kabayel would be pretty ****** to turn it down. He has no name & all he gained from the Chisora win has not materialized into bigger fights.

        like said. Yoka-Hrgovic is way to soon (2022) in their careers. Neither promotional/ management companies want a LOSS.
        Maybe by 2024. BIG fight in France or Germany.

          Kabayel strikes me as a guy easily shaken ,if he signs to fight Hrgovic I picture his hand shaking as he scribbles his name .

          I think it’ll be Zhang who poses a bigger threat anyway as I said weeks ago ,to bad Yoka isn’t going forward .

            Bakole is still a threat ,a very big puncher . I believe they felt rolling the dice with a title elimination at stake was worth the risk ,Bakole is no wAlk over and a loss is damaging to Yoka far more then a loss to Hrgovic . Yoka should win that fight but you just never know .

              I don't think Joe takes the fight being that he's already wbo Mando, but I'd b really excited if he did. If kabayel doesn't take it, I think gassiev will, which honestly would b a great fight. Worse case scenario Zhang already said he wanted the fight, and that's not horrible either. Definitely not as good as some of the other names, but considering the circumstances, I'd b ok with it. I have never in my life seen an entire division duck a guy tho, this shyt is crazy.

                This is ridiculous Yoka was the only one with balls and is a good enough fighter to deserve an alphabet ranking.

                    If it's not Yoka, I'd kinda like to see Gassiev in there. He's 6'3 and about 225 so he's not terribly undersized. You know there'd probably be some fireworks there.

                      Hopefully Joe Joyce takes the Hrgovic fight now.
