Cannonier named his winner in the fight between Du Plessis and Strickland

Let us remind you that the South African defeated the American by unanimous decision and became the new middleweight champion of the promotion.

“I can imagine that this fight could go either way, especially if you take into account the opinion that the champion needs to be won confidently. But I accept that Du Plessis will win by split decision.

I gave him the second, third and fourth rounds. The fifth round turned out to be quite equal. Sean looked better in the end,” Cannonier said in an interview with YouTube channel The Schmo.
