    Well I guess it was such an irrelevant mismatch anyways that it shouldnt matter, but wasnt the whole selling point a racial thing? Bring in an Australian who fights three weights lower, that will save the day.....

    This is where Boxing stinks. Pay lip service to the health and safety of Boxers ,and then allow matches like this with so much weight difference.
    Nothing to do with Khan really, it’s just all wrong.
    Former Undisputed 4 belt Prediction champion. Still P4P and People’s Champion.

    I guess it’s more important to fight someone with some sort of a recognizable name from three weight classes below rather than a no name at the same weight

    The fight is still happening in hell(Saudi Arabia) though right? So it makes no difference if its Billy Dib, Billy Crystal, or one of us..Just a mess....

    Dib is a devout muslim of Arab descent, the whole event is about promoting Islam and that part of the world. I remember Dib was managed/promoted by Naz when he turned pro.

    That makes a lot more sense then, Thought Dib was just a guy from Australia. Still a horrible mismatch, but it keeps with the narrative.

    Feels like it's also pretty much just comes down to satisfying investors and the politics of it. If they want to become a niche locale they're going to have to put out more Smith v Groves and less cash grabs for an on the end Khan. And bet a few bucks that it ends in a NC .

    Well it'll be lovely to see Billy Dib get his punk ass kicked even if it's by punk ass Amir Khan
