    Usman Vs JDM Is Up In The Air | Israel vs Imavov In Saudi | Aj vs Fury?

    Fallout from Usyk vs Fury What would you rather see. Usman vs Jack Della or Buckley? Who would you book Themba against to rebuild him? Manel Kape vs Kai Kara in Australia? Thoughts on Israel vs Imavov? Great win for Nicholas Hwende at Brave, but tough loss for Nkosi. What next for both men? Have you considered doing an 2025 African Fighters draft? You could take it turns to pick 5 African fighters, or one fighter from each division, but once a fighter has been picked that fighter is not eligible to be selected by any one else. P.S Now we have an Africa title win in December! You could track their progress based on wins, main events, title shots championships and/or signing with major promotions. The winner is the fighter whos team did the best by this time next year. Could be fun!
