In connection with Jiří Procházka and his next match, Krylov, who is currently the only free agent at the top of the division, or one of the winners of the Ankalaev vs Walker 2 and Blachowicz vs Rakic 2 battles, which will be next in January, are most often mentioned as a possible opponent. Jiří himself, however, unexpectedly asked for a different name. He offered Chimaev, who promises Pereira’s scalp, that he would be happy to welcome him in the light heavyweight division. So there was a quick exchange.
Jiří Procházka and change of weight category? The BJP team has a clear view and plan
“Dana, let me finish him off,” said Khamzat Chimaev, who has a successful fight with former champion and king of the P4P ranking Usman. Well, successful. Yes, Vlk did win, but the post-fight talk was much more about Usman’s great fightback in a last-minute, out-of-weight fight than Chimaev’s performance. In addition, Khamzat “shined” in the post-match speech, for which he earned another wave of criticism.
“I’d like to welcome you to light heavyweight,” Jiří Procházka intervened in the matter, offering Vlk to fight him calmly. Duel Prochazka vs Chimaev? It would definitely have a story. Both fighters met in Sweden in the past, which Chimaev likes to talk about to this day. He brags about the fact that he beat Procházka in training and injured him on top of that.
“But you lost. I need the title,” basically Chimaev refused the challenge, which is quite understandable. Wolf, if he should really go to light heavyweight, will only go for a title fight. He certainly has no ambition to work his way through the division through other fighters to work his way up to champion. Regardless of the fact that he does not deserve a title shot, which also applies to middleweight, but thanks to the circumstances, he will probably get it after the Strickland vs Du Plessis fight.
However, if he does decide to do more in the light heavyweight division, the BJP has a clear message for him. “Go get him. I’ll be there,” concluded Jiří in a short exchange, saying that he might be waiting at the top of the division if Vlk changed his mind after all.
So we probably won’t see a Procházka vs. Chimaev duel in the near future, but let’s hope that we will see another Jirko match. For now, there is only a big question mark over who the BJP will eventually face. Only Krylov is currently free from the top of the division.
