Comments Thread For: Grigory Drozd Now in Full Training, Eyes Bellew-Flores Winner

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WBC cruiserweight 'champion in recess,' Grigory Drozd (40-1, 28KOs) is now in full training for his ring return. Drozd never lost the belt in the ring. The belt became vacant when he suffered multiple injuries and was unable to meet his mandatory obligation to Ilunga Makabu. The WBC made him the 'champion in recess' - a status which grants him an immediate world title shot at whoever is the current beltholder.

Bellew will probably vacate rather than fight Drozd. We'll see what he does after Flores - if he beats him.

I hope Briedis gets the shot first. If Drozd gets it and beats Bellew he'll probably get more injury problems if ever ordered to face Briedis.

Most likely though Bellew uses his current career momentum to fight Haye. CW is such a dangerous division, Bellew will likely go for big money big risk at HW rather than medium money big risk at CW.
