Has any promoters picked this guy up? I remember them dropping him a few months ago.

HBO should pick him up as a possible future opponent for KOvalev if Adonis keeps ducking.

One of the very very few guys in boxing I have no problem calling a bum...he's lucky as shhh they called that fight he lost a draw he wouldn't even still have the belt had they not..even with home cooking this guy hasn't shown jack shhhh in terms of world class. His career ends within 3 fights at 175..he ain't got the mind for the sport.

7 world title defences in almost obscurity - glorified bum.

Unfortunately, looks like he's back with Berman.

He should have moved to the US and signed with a better promoter like Main Events.

Guess he's not ready to leave the SA nest.

Yes he has re-joined Berman unfortunately - I have nothing against Berman but he does not do enough for his fighters they fight only twice a year or maybe 3 if they are lucky - the sparring in South Africa is limited - I was hoping he would take a feather from Van Heerden's cap who has now moved to the States and is kept busy or even move to the Uk under Hearn's camp ase would get good exposure but lets wait and see.

That's too bad..... Chris VH moved to LA and has been quite active under his new banner.

Tommy should've left... but don't know where he could've went

ME could've picked him up to add to their LHW stable... they got a decent stable with Chilemba, Duchenko, and Kovalev

Mr Tommy Gun about to become a P22. Cause his power is gonna be non existent.

Not surprised that he's outgrown 168, but Tommy Gun's just gonna be Cannon Fodder at 175.

He looked promising beating up no names when he was younger, but has just looked slow and vulnerable against stiffer opposition.

I'm not predicting that he gets his hands on a LHW title....ever.
