Looking forward to Saturday, not heard a peep from Fury in weeks so hopefully he's been focused. No idea if he's still got it, think his lifestyle has caught up with him.

Oleksandr Usyk v Tyson Fury 2 - WBC, WBO & WBA heavyweight titles
  • Serhii Bohachuk v Ishmael Davis - light-middleweight
  • Moses Itauma v Demsey McKean - heavyweight
  • Johnny Fisher v Dave Allen - heavyweight
  • Isaac Lowe v Lee McGregor - featherweight

Decent card.

So nice not to see his helmet of a Dad front and centre
Saw an interview earlier, said he hasn't spoken to his wife and kids for over 3 months, he has locked himself away

Fisher Allen is a fun fight

Looking forward to the mainnevent, lovely pre crimbo action, I wasn't sure it would happen or I would like the dates but it's exciting
 
They're always running late in the Saudi fights, ring walk isn't usually till 11 or later. They always try and put on a load of expensive entertainment beforehand, parade a few rappers etc.
Bang on time tonight...how refreshing.

Hard to call that fight.

Either could have sneaked it.

Probably Usyk by 1 or 2 rounds would have been my scorecard.

Only really on time because Itauma is such a beast at the level he's currently fighting. Had that gone 12 it would have been late again!

I thought that was a comfortable Usyk win. He was the better fighter across the piece by a margin and landed both more and a greater percentage of his punches.

On a side note, the AI judge had it 118-112. I think the discrepancy is that people tend to ignore or forget body shots as they're less dramatic than head shots.
 
Usyk comfortable win for me, maybe not the margin but TBH thats never an issue they make out as long as the results right and it was
Yeah he has Fury's number, Fury was better this time around but don't think he has anything to trouble Usyk, he tags him, Usyk will find a way to score back. Usyk's conditioning gives him such a upper hand too.

Hopefully that's Fury done, though I wonder if him and AJ will combine finally for one last big payday. Seems a very Boxing thing to do like Khan and Brook.

Yeh I think it will be an AJ finally, I think the sparks gone from Furys eyes now he has lost is 0
 
That's the only likely fight that'll make him any serious money.

He should have made it 5 years ago and made real money from it though.

I still think the fight captures imagination though, I think being in the UK waters down the payday because Saudi would pay more but I think its the right place for it.

I suspect Hearn and Warren have sold their management at the backend to the Saudis because Hearn let slip on Saturday that the would need to consult with "Turki Al Sheikh" which makes me think they have signed over management rights and hold only promotional rights now

It's obvious the Saudis have taken over.

The gravy train to hard for the 'enemies' to resist. Warren and Hearn now all pally with each other lol A wheelbarrow of cash can achieve so much.
