Don't know anything about him, but he's really rocking the Wolverine look.

Who cares? Division with a ton of recognisable names and they pull off the hard feat of finding someone obscure. It's almost like they have done it as a dare

Saunders had a very decent run up to winning the title,beat Lee in a stinker,takes almost a year off and then comes up with this
,typical WBO fish eyes opponent.
Re: Artur Akavov?
I thought a voluntary had to be ranked in the top 15?
Re: Artur Akavov?
This is proper grim! He slates N'Dam as a challenger then has the gall to name this bum! I couldn't stand the twat before and now even more so! What a prick!
Re: Artur Akavov?
Never even heard of this guy prior to him being in the mix for BJS.

Re: Artur Akavov?
In Warren's defence, Saunders was supposed to be on the undercard of the Fury card which clearly bombed at the ticket office and then got cancelled at late notice, so he would have had relatively little money or time to spend on this fight. Obviously BJS's next fight needs to be a huge step up from this though, so hopefully this is just a tune-up for something big (I am not holding my breath).

Re: Artur Akavov?
Tommy Langford is ranked number 2 with the WBO. Surely a better opponent and could have easily been made.
Re: Artur Akavov?
Deary deary me.
Filmed in a caravan gobbing off about GGG then picks this opponent, genuinely never heard of him.
Boxrec ranks his 12 round decision win over Michel Mothmora (27-23-0 stopped 14 times) as the best result of his career

Re: Artur Akavov?
Yes surely, but it's a voluntary defence, so it's a hand picked opponent from the champion, so it's always an easy defence.chad wrote:Tommy Langford is ranked number 2 with the WBO. Surely a better opponent and could have easily been made.
