Facts:
1) Both Masternak & Riakporhe pulled out & Thompson was the replacement
2) Riakporhe is with Ben Shalom's Boxxer who won't work with Matchroom & most likely had Riakporhe pull out of the purse bid
3) Jai flew to London thinking Dec 23rd might be Briedis rematch but Briedis said he wasn't ready as he is still injured & he took Zorro as a stay busy fight & a way to get more exposure on a big card while hoping to rematch Briedis in Feb, 2024 (probably on the Fury vs Usyk card)
4) Goulamirian (WBA) is scheduled to fight Dorticos in 1st half of 2024
5) CBS & Riakporhe are both with Boxxer & will most likely be having an in house WBO title fight next
6) Jai correctly chose to drop the IBF trinket for the Saudi money. Briedis & Zurdo will be fighting for the vacant title
7) That only leaves Mikaelian the WBC title holder as a potential Feb 2024 opponent for Jai's 2 fight deal with Saudi's, that is if Don King hasn't tied him up with some rematch clause with Makabu
Jai isn't afraid to fight anyone & can't help it if others are running scared of him
There might be a couple of facts in there, but you’re mostly making excuses! he’s a champion who’s defending his belt against guys not nearly good enough to even win their own domestic title. They shouldn’t be anywhere near a fucking title fight. What has either guy done to deserve a shot at a title?
You’re clearly a big fan based on your response (I’m a fan too). Seems like you’d rather your guy fight mugs, and guess/speculate about how other fighters won’t fight him, rather than have him defend against worthy fighters. Fans constantly making excuses for their favourite fighter is why we don’t get the fights we deserve. Instead we get the ibf champion picking fights with Britain’s 8 and 9th best CWs
