“That brought British Boxing Board of Control head and WBC board member Robert Smith to announce, “That’s not going to happen. It’s sensible but not going to happen.”

Do you work for Queensbury indeed. Great rebuttal from Sulaiman.

Usyk will never need to duck anyone, even in his seventies. Everyone is now queueing up not to fight each other. There will be Oleksandr and a huge toilet underneath him.

Fight makes more sense than itauma vs usyk. Rather Moses vs wardley tbh

“Waiting for Pulev” might be a sound business decision but it’s also chickensht

Tbh I don’t mind that fight, even tho Okolie style wise ain’t great to watch he presents a style itauma hasn’t faced yet and it’s defiantly a stronger test than a dillian whyte

Pretty close to what I thought. I had not really considered the style side of it. It would be something Itauma would train for differently. Good call.

This plus Buatsi v Whittaker. Have my doubts either happen but why not put them on the same card. Even make it PPV

How will Itauma deal with Okolie smothering him with clinching and holding?

Not really chickensht when Okolie is just as trash. And did they even say final eliminator. I'm sure IF WBC mandate a mandatory it will be Kabayel their interim champ. Itauma Okolie won't happen even if it does they will still be far from a wbc mandatory to Usyk
