Don't think he's coming back... We've been hearing this forever

He was really fun to watch but these make believe comebacks are silly.

[Khalid X]

How did he injure his back? boxing related or something else?

Ruptured a disc in his back while training. Happened in 2012

Also reinjured when he tried to make his comeback last year

He'll be at least 34 years old when he comes back. He's going to be shot as fuck with a 2 year layoff.

A fighter suffers from 'shotness' from too much wear 'n tear in the ring, from sparring too much and from age, not inactivity.

I just want to see him back and where he stands... i loved his upper body movement... you don't see that in an Eastern euro fighter

His upper body movement should be gone anyway with a ruined back.
