If you’re going to fight this low quality why not defend the English title?
That said should get him some round, if you go 8 to a decision loss with Romanov you can’t be absolute trash.
Still disappointing.

He’s horrendously avoided as the English title isn’t a big enough carrot to attract opponents. When he won it against Ismay ask yourself how far down the rankings the BBBoC had to go to get to Ismay.
Been laying into Jamie TKV on Instagram and it’s clear TKV shat it. Drago turned it down as well but I think he thought he was gonna get the win against Ignatius and then fight Dacres.

Dacres obviously passed the Soko test so early that it’s now expected for him to be facing top 100 ranked by boxrec guys fight after fight which obviously is gonna be tough to do given the risk he poses for little reward.
Maybe he can do two Saffers in a row and fight Kevin Lerena next.
