BoztheMadman Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 He hasn't had a fight since May last year and has been proclaimed champion in recess since August that year. And he still hasn't got another fight in the making! He is 37 so...if he still intends to fight, he better hurry up and make another fight.

pittbox Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Re: What is happening with Grigory Drozd? This guy is one of the biggest disappointments of cruiserweight division. He looked great against Wlodarczyk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cableaddict Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Re: What is happening with Grigory Drozd? Drozd had to pull out of a scheduled fight with Makabu, last November. (opening the way for Tony Bellew) My guess is that he's still not fully healed. I assume he's STILL currently the WBC "Champion In Recess". Sure hope so. He's definitely one of the top 3 guys in the division right now. Powerful, fast, excellent defense. Pedro Diaz really brought him up a level.

pittbox Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Re: What is happening with Grigory Drozd? I heard he'd be a part of some reality show in Russia. I wonder what does it tell about his future career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what does it tell about his future career. Arh, reality shows...they are career killers for boxers! Kai Robin Havnaa, a promising cruiser from Norway, put his career on hold for several months to take part in this STUPID reality show which also is very physically challenging. And he didn't win in the end. What a perfect dumbass way to take a chunk of your career and throw it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_budweiser Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Re: What is happening with Grigory Drozd? Arh, reality shows...they are career killers for boxers! It's not a reality TV show like Celebrity Island - It's a boxing show Boz. The first episode of the latest Russian reality TV show ‘Fight in the Big City’ will air tonight (Oct 21) on Russian TV and will feature 32 boxers battling it out in a last-man-standing format to win a lucrative promotional deal. I guess it's a bit like the Russians version of The Contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Ortega Nieto Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Re: What is happening with Grigory Drozd? Had a pretty serious injury, should theoretically to face Bellew when I can fight for the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pittbox Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Re: What is happening with Grigory Drozd? It seems to me that he has some kind of problem with his celebrity status, that cause him to not think primarily about sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
