I was mildly curious to see what was happening with Yldirim after his destruction in the WBSS where he didn’t belong.
Not much. At least they’re moving him properly now.
I hope the 38-year old Derek Edwards, who once flattened Badou Jack, can get out of the sport before he ends up a casualty.
Robbery…
