Hmm... the last time Kezzers was in a 'World Boxing' series of any kind, it didn't go too well for him.

[Eff Pandas]

Eh. I was hoping he was gonna be a sub, not an actual participant.

I was hoping they were gonna aim for a higher level for the wild cards too. I mean Kessler hasn't fought in 4 f#cking years & is 38. Not to mention that he's connected to the promoter running this tournament so it looks highly sketchy such a undeserving guy is involved at all.

Whatever doe WBSS has done a bunch of stuff I love up til now & this is the first thing that doesn't sit well of me so not like I can hate on the WBSS all that much for this choice.

[Chrismart]

Hmm, maybe that was the plan all along, and that's the only reason he came back.

He could be in a spot of bother going straight into the tournament after being out so long.

[Pandur]

He will not take part in the tournament.
He has rejected the offer

He should stay retired.

He's old and has been out of it for a while, but Kessler could still compete at world level in the current ranks. I see him beating DeGale and Groves. The Dirrell brothers are both ****e.

Eddie hearn said on ifl that dirrell and callum smith fight might happen in this world series....

[Mammoth]

Cruiserweight is looking to be the more interesting of the series

Connected to the guy running this thing which is a pretty shady dude known for hometown decisions for his fighters. Either way this tournament looks pretty awful. I see Kessler getting stopped by any top 10 168 pounder. Degale would ****ing take his head off to the morons who say he wont beat him.
