I wouldn't put it past The Ginger to (excuse the pun)... gingerly skip over light heavyweight (where Beterbiev would rip him a new one... and Bivol already did)... and head to cruiser for a shiny trinket.

He already entertained thoughts of fighting Makabu couple of years ago, before coming to his senses backing off.

Many fighters go up in weight... no problem there. But only The Ginger skips whole divisions to avoid getting reamed (again) by superior competition.

What a fukking trinket-grabber.
