Why isn't the Milas fight happening? I saw Djeko against Snijders a while back (fairly entertaining but not the most highly skilled affair). He's a tough guy but undersized and not sure he has the skills or pop to challenge Yoka.

Djeko is a giant CW without much power, Yoka will run through him

Yawn. Yoka needs better opposition

[Earl-Hickey]

I call him Tony joker

Yawn. Yoka needs better opposition

He also needs to start fighting outside of France once in a while.

Thats a fact. I believe he was scheduled to make his US debut March 14th on the Stevenson-Marriaga card prior to COVID.
