Yassine El Maachi, you like him?

Seems a really cool funny guy that won Prizefighter a bit back & is willing to fight anybody.
''Malignaggi wanted £160,000 to fight me, give me £160,000 & i'll retire from boxing'' - Haha, he's a bit eccentric but the guys willing to fight anybody upto middleweight. I remember him begging Joe to come inside & spar him.

He has a fight lined up soon against TBA, hope it's against somebody half decent. Shame nobody is willing to take the risk tbh

Love him. Wish he could get a big fight.

He's such a character, boy can box too, like you said I really wish he could get a big fight.

I think he hits a fair bit harder than his record may suggest as well. It's crazy how nobody at all wants to risk fighting him I recall his promoter offering £50,000 (I believe it was) to anybody that could beat him.

Not one took that offer up.

Yeah he must be the only Prizefighter winner to have not got a big fight out of it. Plus hes willing to fight in about 3 different weight classes!

Yes he called out Kell Brook who dosnt want to fight him.

Why would he fight Yassine instead of Hatton who held the IBF strap & bought more money to the table?

Yassine vs Matthew Hatton is a good fight.

The same reason other fighters are allegedly ducking him in a division below.

I don't expect Kell to fight him. But he deserves a British title shot at least.

These others aren't in such a situation with such offers though. They'd rather fight clowns for shirt buttons & keep talking than fight Yassine for what would be for them a big payday & big opportunity.

I like Yassine but Brook has bigger fish to fry.
