    I’d like to see him fight the winner of Watkins-Martell.

      It's the division, the division is a historically dead division. That is not ignorance, that is fact. There are not fun fights at every level on a high frequency, thats rubbish.

        It's crazy how this division went from having nothing to being really deep in just a couple years (talking about the UK specifically.) There was a time when it was basically just Matty Askin, Wadi Camacho, Stephen Simmons and Tony Conquest. Huge difference just 5 or so years later

          Realistically, I'd like to see:

          Okolie vs Briedis
          Riakporhe vs Merhy
          CBS vs Massey
          Jumah vs Mendes
          Thompson vs Watkins/Martell
          McCarthy vs Turchi 2
          Chamberlain vs Lawal
          Spelman vs Ward

          Those are all good, competitive matchups that could be realistically made

            it doesn't seem like you follow boxing at every level, so how would you know?

            Also if you don't like the division and have no interest, no offence pal but best thing to do is f*** off out of the convo

              Exciting division for UK boxing.
              LHW probably has more good matchups in the UK though.


              Bit of a shame to hear Shalom saying Riakphor is a year or two away from Okolie fight. The fight won't be made anyway, bit lame, but should just call for it to build the name like Avaneseyan does with Benn. No loss (although thinking about it, it is a bit cringy when they know the fight isn't happening). Maybe niave 'promoting'.

                I follow boxing at every LEVEL. I just don't follow it at every DIVISION. Those are 2 DIFFERENT things.

                Like I don't follow minimum weights because they're boring and I don't follow womens boxing because they suck and I don't follow cruiser because it's a historically dead division.

                    I like them all but give me Riakporhe vs Makabu. That’s a ending in a brutal KO either way. Good chance that happens this year too IMO.

                      I'm still pining for God's Power vs Kalenga! I've been asking for that fight for years
