Damn. Wanted to see this fight. Looked like it would have been a cracker.

I always enjoyed Mean Machine and it’s nice to see him getting a crack once again

For the record, Cissokho was a bronze medallist in Rio 2016, not a gold medallist as stated.

Sucks for him especially considering the WBC beltholder is the weakest link out of them, Mario Barrios. By the way I wonder if my boy Jin Sasaki would get a world title chance soon?

WBC (Barrios)- 1 Cissokho, 2 Conor Benn, 3 Kavaliauskas, 4 Sasaki
WBA (Stanionis)- 1 Giyasov, 2 Benn, 3 Lewis Crocker 4 Sasaki
IBF (Boots)- 1 Karen, 2 vacant, 3 Sasaki, 4 Benn, 5 Crocker
WBO (Norman Jr)- 1 Giyasov, 2 Alexis Rocha, 3 Sasaki

Karen lost so he's guaranteed to fall in the next update, Giyasov apparantly got an agreement with WBA Stanionis already. Benn was talking about wanting Barrios. Possibly an eliminator between Sasaki and Crocker for IBF or Sasaki and Rocha for WBO?
