    Well that doesn’t bode well…

    On a side note I think Gevor possibly beats Makabu.
    I'd consider him the favorite

        That's a fun fight that'll likely end in a KO.

          Really like that fight myself. Boxxer might be able to pull a few strings and get the vacant EBU title on the line as well.

            That'll be great if they can get the EBU on the line, raise the stakes for a potentially even better fight.

              CBS’s fight could be a WBO eliminator if it gets approved. Looks like they’re targeting an Okolie fight.

                If anyone is wondering what’s happening with Lawrence Okolie. Matchroom won’t grant him his release and haven’t offered him a date in months.

                He has one fight left with Matchroom and intends to sign with Boxxer so they’re shelving him.

                  Don't they have the same trainer?

                    Good point actually. I forgot they were both with Shane, I wonder why they’re steering towards the WBO route. CBS is currently at 2 with the WBO and Xhoxhaj is at 9 so a win here could put him in position to be called as the mandatory.
