Cordina is like the cheese in a trap. Shakur is being stalked by Turki. I didn't know Shakur liked cheese, or it may be a guilded trap. Anyway from what I hear. It has Eddys mark. Less is best, more later.

A shame that Turki couldn't convince any of the other title holders at Cruiserweight to face Opetaia for a unification. Good on this Jack Massey for signing the contract. Opetaia has openly said he will happily fight on the October and December Saudi cards. Perhaps Billiam-Smith might be lined up next as he won't budge on a 3-month camp.

I'm not impressed at all by this undercard. It's a real turkey.

Fighting on the undercard of Bivol v Bieterbiev better make Shakur realize he needs to be dynamic and get a ko win.

“[Stevenson's] talented and young and if he's smart, we will do a lot of things with him," Alalshikh told ESPN.com. "There's a big fight with him in the future."

bit of an air of arrogance about it, my way or the highway but maybe its true

what other options does shak have, im sure turky is still paying well for this lower tier fight, might as well stay busy with a fight and hope turky reels in a bigger opponent next time, shak needs to do the business in the ring tho, elusive is all well and good but it may result in bigger paydays and opponents eluding u

I’m not hating actually, I’ve changed my mind. Wardley-Clarke is worthy of being a main event, if they want to put Shakur in there to keep busy in the third fight before the main event I can easily live with that.
