“Let’s take a look at the last +-2.5years and tell me who’s bullshit,” Du Plessis wrote.
Since September of 2022, Chimaev has fought just three times, while Du Plessis has fought six times, including three title fights. He also doesn’t have a canceled fight while Chimaev has three during that stretch.
It’s a fair point from Du Plessis as Chimaev has struggled to stay healthy or get fights due a visa issue. But, it is disappointing news that this fight is unlikely to happen in June. But, as DDP points out the fight was never signed or made official.
“Question is was the fight signed?,” Du Plessis wrote.
