Dont know the Promoter ask for it removed

I assume that around that time Andrew Higgins will Promote his Second Boxing event and Julius Long will fight Hemi Ahio
Hopefully for the WBA Oceania Heavyweight title like i suggested to him

Razvan Cojanu lost his last fight recently in the semi finals of the ESPN's 2015 Boxcino Tournament by KO
he isnt even in the top 100 anymore and had the WBO Asia Pacific title stripped from him

The only other decent but manageable fighters taller than Parker I can think of are Ustinov, Meehan and Pianeta...

Any word on who Izu Ugonoh is fighting on the JP undercard?

Also, is it just the five fights (incl. BBB's two) or are there more to be added?

Iakopa is a much tougher opponent, very under rated. I do find it astonishing that in your ratings you have him at 10 and the big fat pretender buttabean at 8. It's either you don't know enough about boxing,naivety or the clown is your friend. Iakopa has beaten tough man Antz Nansen, former Australian heavyweight champ Nathan Briggs and former NZ heavy champ Afa Tatapu. Fatboy pretend boxer has never even fought a real boxer let alone beat one.

I'm open to everyone's opinions however only reason why he is tenth because he lost his last fight but butterbean cant really advance up the rankings beyond 8th until he does fight bigger fighters
I'm just waiting more fighters like junior to win there fight
Keep in mind this is my first time making rankings so of course it wont be perfect the first time
Also I cant keep everyone happy

I saw Junior beat Afa a while ago, he was having a laugh and mucking about and still made Afa look silly. Easy to hit but he's decent, and will be much better for Hemi rankings wise.

It's a shame Gunnar struggles so badly to get good opponents and to get on good cards. Just saw he's fighting Daniel Maxwell again

I want to point out that Metui Finau did an amazing job at the Youth Boxing event in Te Atatu as the Announcer
He had personality, he was Charismatic and he was funny too
He didn't look it but it was his first time as an announcer and he was great and sound like a pro
I certainly would recommend him for any event
So if you want his contact details let me know and I will send it to you

Does Antz Nansen's fight being removed mean he's now fighting Izu by chance?

It was removed because he is kick boxing instead
