@IFLTV@WBABoxing@usykaa@RicoVerhoeven Either sanction it or strip Usyk. He’s earned the right to do what he wants now, but if he isn’t fighting contenders he shouldn’t be keeping the belts
WBA TO SANCTION USYK VS VERHOEVEN, KIND OF 🥊
@WBABoxing has confirmed that they WILL sanction @Usykaa vs @RicoVerhoeven under a couple of strict conditions.
They state...
"Should Usyk emerge victorious, the bout will officially count as a successful title defense. If the champion were to lose, the WBA Championship Committee would then review his status and determine the next course of action regarding the heavyweight championship." 📝

@RobTebbutt Moses makes sense. Gets the gym narrative out the way with Fab/Moses and we get to see Itauma fight a world class opponent. Major jump up in levels from Franklin though
Jim White mentioning the anti boxing brigade to Frank Warren because Wardley wasn’t stopped sooner.
People want to talk about how boxing could be bigger? How about those covering the sport for a living stop finding flaws in an event that was absolutely phenomenal.
@DeanBeaton6@Oche180 He had the ability to get away with it. He said he would win the worlds and then the matchplay in 2021 and he ended up winning both. Just isn’t anywhere near the same player now
🗣️ “I’m going to win it. Hopefully, I play Luke Littler in the final.”
🐍 Peter Wright boldly claims he will lift a third World Championship next year and beat The Nuke.

@RobTebbutt Very strange. Although he went out and tried to punch a hole through Jalolov after the doctor checked him out so mustve been giving it one big go
Agron Smakici just had his best round of the fight and quit on his stool at the end of the seventh round.
A thoroughly underwhelming end to a thoroughly underwhelming fight.
Bakhodir Jalolov wins via TKO7.
#WardleyDubois
Bakhodir Jalolov looking completely unrecognisable from the man who terrorised the super heavyweight ranks for over half a decade in the amateurs.
#WardleyDubois
Painfully ponderous opening three rounds from Bakhodir Jalolov. No urgency in his work. Smakici lands a left hand at the end of the third - the only real shot of note so far.
