Is Wlad coming back?

[X]

When I stopped competitive boxing, I still went to the gym and did lots of sparring.

I was still pretty good and easily held my own, usually dominating (if I do say so myself) ..... but there is a world of difference between 'fun' sparring where both sides are holding back on punches a bit and trying new stuff out.

Real fighting is massively different, much more physically and psychologically exhausting, and much more mental pressure. You never have to 'go to the well' past exhaution and pain when sparring, and that's the ability fighters lose the quickest.

Wlad is intelligent enough to know this, he doesn't need the money and he has nothing to prove
