[Honest]

Class fighter!

[Adsy]

2nd best cruiser of this era, behind only usyk. Fought a close passing of the torch fight against Opetaia. Legend

[Willow The Wisp]

Very possibly onto enshrinement into the IBHOF.

Great fighter, always entertaining, class act and knocked Charr on his forehead

[MusoMeanderings]

He retired from boxing the day he posted on social media a picture of himself with a tattoo begging for a Jake Paul fight.

No one can recover from that.

Yea, it was odd to say the least. I guess, life in Latvia ain't cheap.

Very unappreciated fighter! Always stood his ground ,never saw him dominated or even bullied by anyone. By so far is the person closest to beat Usyk ,which is even increasing value as The Cat goes even higher every day. Respect! Enjoy your time champ,you will be missing around!

Excellent career, all the best to him.

He gave Usyk a very tough fight.

No surprise that Jake Paul said nah, not fighting Breidis. No shame in that, because for a novice to fight a guy like Breidis, that's asking a lot.
