Don’t blame Johnson at all for taking this fight, he’s had A LOT of health problems and is probably just looking to cash out. Good luck to him though

What health problems did he have ?if it's bad surely he shouldn't be facing someone like Beterbiev... I know his das passed away.

Some sort of blood condition/problem from what I’ve heard, it’s been pretty much kept under wraps in the media.
He was never going to fight Buglioni in October because of that issue, the hope was for Gallagher to slide Burton in as a replacement but Buglioni’s team refused to let that happen.

Probably being held up by Beterbievs promotional situation

And he still beat him easily ..sounds like he will take his opportunity for a world title and if he losses go back to the drawing board and get a fight with Yarde to cash out.

Yeah I imagine his plan will be something like that myself
