Its such a shame the heavyweight euro title isn't respected right now...

its been a great belt, look at the past people to hold it from 2012-2020... Joyce, Kabayal, Pulev, helenious, chisora, fury... I feel same can be said for commonwealth and British, they have lost a bit of there shine mabey but at least Fabio has been a good champ for them. euro hasn't had a good fight since Joyce vs DDD...

Moses should pick up the commonwealth, British and euro, there quality trinkets, but he just doesn't seem interested.

Barely anyone even defends it 3 times anymore.

A boxer wins it and then they get ordered to fight another domestic boxer and think naaa, too risky..

Vacate and fight for the wba continental or whatever instead.

Xhoxhaj wins a close UD to retain his European heavyweight title, 115-113, 114-113 and 115-112(same) probably the worst fight I've seen this year, terrible so it was especially for the European title, both a mess, Xhoxhaj was like a barrel, Aliev looked in better shape, tall southpaw but he gassed by the 6th and it was just a mess, both super slow looked like they were fighting underwater, there was more breaks in the action than fighting, both men spent more time wrestling on the canvas, Aliev got a point off for throwing Xhoxhaj through the ropes, there were head clashes, tape kept coming loose, just a mess, Xhoxhaj basically won because he was less sh1t than Aliev who spent more time holding and leaning in the second half, didn't use his height or reach and allowed a bang average Xhoxhaj to hustle him for a decision, zero quality it was horrific, Dave Allen beats both

I was thinking why not feed the winner to Moses... easy euro. but if it was trash Dave can beat em, why not feed the winner to Dave....

Dave Allen headlining Doncaster for the Euro belt would be a comical story ark.

Tbh even Allen from the first Thomas fight probably beats Xhoxhaj, he's atrocious
