Heavyweight Boxing

Hammer didn’t look in shape at all at tbe weigh in

Yeah fair point, even if he wanted to chill, the Saudi money would be to alluring and Hearn can't afford to have his biggest draw by miles on the couch for that long.

It's fascinating though when it comes to his next opponent guessing, he seems content to call out Hrgovic which would be a good fight.

The Saudis wanted Joshua v Wilder , so maybe Wilder if he is on the Fury card can knock someone over and get some buzz back and they finally make that fight?

Not sure who else makes sense money wise and isn't to risky of a fight ? I think Hearn would love to spin some of "battle of Britain" fight for the Summer, but Joyce has no buzz and could they make AJ v Dubois?

Full a fooking deals and promises are boxers/promoters for years now. AJ and Fury are veterans and nearing end their careers…can’t even fight once, and we’re being promised two fight deals

Exactly, boxers shouldn’t fear losses. The likes of Whyte has literally nothing to lose at this point.

It’s unlikely he’ll ever be champion. And losses against decent opponents won’t harm him much.

But he would certainly be competitive against the likes of Parker, Wilder, Joyce and could add some decent names to his CV.

it is probably best to not look to far ahead with the heavyweights, it can all come crashing down in one night, there's rumours about usyk having a goosed shoulder and putting off surgery and fury has said himself he needs a couple of surgeries so either man could find themselves on the slide with injuries and age catching them. The Saudi landscape could also change very quickly, it wasn't so long ago another man was the face of the boxing and they were going to start dealing direct with the fighters, plenty of fighters signed up for this mega deal promise and it was gone overnight and we then got his excellency turkey the sheikh who is having health issues himself so who knows what the future brings lets hope we get fury v usyk in 2 months.

wardley is up against frazer clarke in a couple of weeks, i know clarke is the more experienced and skilful boxer but i find it hard to look passed a yardley stoppage

We’re in proper dire straits if talking about Whyte being a proper threat/contender

Thought dire straight were reached already when we had people giving a novice a chance against the top heavyweights.

very candid interview from Dillian here

Whyte can be a gatekeeper and get good money doing it.

Hopefully we get AJ/Francis 2… going by Francis’s excuses for the loss, we really need to run it back.

Is Mike broke?

Most of the money he made during his career was stolen by don king if I remember rightly, he’s getting well paid for appearances and podcasts and also has his own cannabis strain so I doubt he’s skint, he’s probably just bored but at 58 this won’t be a proper fight and more than likely an exhibition of it goes ahead

roy jones v Mike Tyson wasn’t allowed to be anything other than an exhibition and they are a similar age
