So Tony Yoka is facing Hrgovic now correct ?
That's a good prospect eliminator.

Yeah, getting back on topic isn’t a bad idea. Not sure if they’ve signed already.
Yep it's in writing also: "Tony Yoka has formally accepted tonight in writing the challenge to fight Filip Hrgovic in a final IBF Final Eliminator for the heavyweight world championship," Nisse Sauerland, who represents Hrgovic, posted on Twitter. Good stuff.Yeah just saw that they verbally agreed. I'm liking this match up.

I agree about Joyce. And I don't like Yoka, something about him rubs me the wrong way so I do hope you're right and Hrgovic cleans Yoka's clock. I do think Hrgovic's style is better suited to the pro ranks than Yoka's. The 12 round format goes against Yoka's stick and move style and also the scoring criteria will favour Hrgovic's more damaging attacks.I think Joyce has their numbers over 12 rounds but I’m still very curious about how this one turns out. Hrgovic gets to Yoka by round 8 once he’s roughed up and his legs have weakened a little IMO.
