People who post here and on twitter ain't feeling it but objectively speaking it's a ton of risk involved and money at stake putting Tank in a true 50/50 fight. His fanbase is made of so many casuals who stan him for superficial reasons I think his PPV viability falls off a cliff if he ever loses. Not to say PBC is the home of the hype jobs but after what happened to Wilder and Spence why would they risk Tank unless they absolutely have to. They thought they had one with Fury coming back from his issues and they stalled Bud out for damn near half a decade and it seems like they going try to maximize Tank earning potential for as long as possible. Especially with a new Prime deal coming

Bud stalled himself by not making fights..wtf....Spence is the only prime fighter he's fought since becoming a Welter. Didn't want to make the Thurman fight...went to Kell Brook instead..Ennis called him for 4 months early last year and he was more quiet than Tank was for the Haney call outs.

Joshua fighting Otto Wallin worries me :francis:. He's another Southpaw with fast accurate hands, and a counter puncher. Another Usyk

Not on to Usyk’s skill level though I still think AJ wins but yeah, worrying
I’m pretty sure Parker gets knocked silly though, he can be hit and whenever that happens he’ll fall. He isn’t the tyle to KO Wilder in quick fashion either. It’s HW division so nothing would shock me

Major Japanese cards set​

​
Unified junior flyweight champion Kenshiro Teraji
Teiken Boxing on Thursday held a news conference in Tokyo to announce two major cards for early 2024, both of which will stream live in the early morning of the fight date on ESPN+ in the United States.

On Jan. 23, at Edion Arena in Osaka, WBC/WBA junior flyweight champion Kenshiro Teraji (21-1, 14 KOs), 31, of Japan, will make the fourth overall defense of his second reign and third of the unified title when he meets former WBA titlist Carlos Canizales (26-1-1, 19 KOs), 30, of Venezuela, who has won four in a row since losing his belt in May 2021, in the main event.

Also on the card:

  • WBA flyweight titlist Artem Dalakian (22-0, 15 KOs), 36, of Ukraine, will make his seventh defense versus Japan’s Seigo Yuri Akui (18-2-1, 11 KOs), 28, in a fight rescheduled from Nov. 15 when that card was postponed due to a main event injury.
  • Japanese kickboxing superstar Tenshin Nasukawa (2-0, 0 KOs), 25, a southpaw, will have his third pro boxing match against Luis Robles Pacheco (15-2-1, 5 KOs), 25, of Mexico, in an eight-rounder at junior featherweight.
The other card will take place on Feb. 24 at Ryogoku Sumo Arena in Tokyo, where WBC bantamweight titleholder Alexandro Santiago (28-3-5, 14 KOs), 27, of Mexico, who outpointed Nonito Donaire in a major upset to win the vacant title in July, will make a high-risk first defense against former WBO flyweight and junior bantamweight titlist Junto Nakatani (26-0, 19 KOs), 25, a Japanese southpaw.

Nakatani recently vacated his title at junior bantamweight after one defense to move up in weight to seek a belt in a third division. He won the vacant junior bantamweight title in May in Las Vegas on the Devin Haney-Vasiliy Lomachenko undercard when he scored a massive 12th-round knockout of the year contender against Andrew Moloney to finish off a one-sided beating.

Also on the card:

  • WBA bantamweight titlist Takuma Inoue (18-1, 4 KOs), 27, of Japan, who is the younger brother of Naoya Inoue, will make his first defense against former junior bantamweight titlist Jerwin Ancajas (34-3-2, 23 KOs), 31, a Filipino southpaw. The bout was originally set for Nov. 15 but postponed when Inoue suffered a rib injury.
  • Kosei Tanaka (19-1, 11 KOs), 28, of Japan, who has won world titles at strawweight, junior flyweight and flyweight, will go for a belt in a fourth division versus Mexico’s Christian Bacasegua (22-4-2, 9 KOs), 26, when they meet for the vacant WBO junior bantamweight title Nakatani vacated. It will be Tanaka’s second shot at the belt. He has won four bouts in a row since Kazuto Ioka stopped him in the eighth round challenging for the same title in December 2020.
