    Completely different game nowadays, with how fighters rehydrate 2-3 stone after weigh ins.

    On top of that, look at the guys you mentioned, Langford ended up blind and Greb lost an eye and died in his 30’s. Fighting naturally bigger guys is generally unnecessary.

      These fights should be happening in the UK or the USA.

        Agreed but I think that Langford + Greb's injuries were more to do with the fact that they'd fought more than 200+ times each which would never happen today.

          Now , he’s flexing his power and demanding the winner Beterbiev vs Bivol go up and fight Opetaia
          The start of good news or bad news ?

          Only on boxingscene, can making the best fights possible, potentially be a problem

            Why does it matter "where" they are?

                Someone just doesn't like an Arabian monarch saving boxing and doing what promoters have failed to do in the western world for years.

                This reeks of muh merica!!!!

                  Deontay Wilder proudly represents Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Tyson Fury is a Northern English badass. Anthony Joshua is a London roadman. These fights shouldn't be happening on the other side of the world, in front of a few hundred people in the desert.

                    If you want his money you’ll do what he says.

                    If you don’t want his money you’re free to go make less somewhere else.

                      So , according to you the big boxing fan you are , it’s ok to give a 0-1 fighter an opportunity to fight for the unified heavyweight championship ?
                      I don’t give two fughs where the fight is being held , for all I care it could be in your backyard
