Looking at him in the crowd and honestly he should quit boxing and model because he is looking good.

Dnuh if anyone knows truly how hard this is.
That's incredible. I guess a lot of boxers would benefit from more of the really hardcore balance / footwork training

That's why you don't make an announcement that you're gonna make an announcement. You just make the f*cking announcement so people don't speculate

Just googled him, one of the greatest kick boxers of all time apparently, even so it’s for the WBC title and he will be 37 and only had one pro boxing match. The sport is becoming more of a circus year by year.

Is it for the WBC proper?
Not some cross combat diamond bauble they have dreamt up?

They could be gambling a little with the weather. I'm going to assume it will be at night because it gets HOT in the summer in Egypt. It could easily be 25+ at night.

It probably does, but he'll be defending the Undisputed Championship against Rico Verhoeven all the same.

25 at night is nothing compared to outdoor fights at Vegas. Guys have fought in 40 + in Vegas. outdoors.
