Joshua will stall Fury until he's either too old or he hasn't had a fight for 3 years.

Joshua demolishing Fury on social media. Quite funny.


Uysk is now in talks with Hearn/Joshua to be his next opponent.

Eddie Hearn says he's talking to both Spurs and Wembley to host Joshua's next fight, which could be against Usyk.

May as well fight Grumpy Cat.

Will be paid more and the sport is already a joke.

I wouldn't write off Usyk. He's the best boxer in the heavyweight division. It's his size that could be the problem. It's hard to step up from cruiserweight to heavyweight.

Usyk is 7cm shorter but more importantly 10kg lighter than Joshua.

Not insurmountable and I fancy Usyk's chances.

I don't think talkshow's writing off Usyk but remarking that the sport as a whole is a joke - TV won't pick Taylor vs. Ramirez despite it being for four world titles but retired Mayweather vs. a YouTuber will be televised.

Anyone that pays for that shit this weekend...needs to be shot.

COVID outbreak in the Fury camp, putting the fight against Wilder on 24th in jeopardy.

Update: Fight officially off after Fury tested positive on Thursday.

I bet Wilder will start to claim he should just be handed the belt

 

[JCRD]

Im not a boxing afficionado although love the big fights but watching Joe Joyce tonight - is it just me or is he like really fucking slow? feels like he is so cumbersome and just everythign is slow motion - no doubt he has some power and skill

My dad knew this guy. Said he had the biggest hands he'd ever seen. After boxing he just became an addict around Hackney. Real shame

Edit. Just read the article, I thought he died ages ago
