This is literally the beginning of Rocky 4.
What a load of shit
They’re dragging this out.
Wow, interesting start. Looks like Joshua has a broken nose.
Some boom from Joshua again.
Wilder fight will be mega.
BBC say 13th April 2019, if you're booking.
That is AJ next fight 100% but an opponenet isnyet to be named. Talk is the Wilder vs Fury winner, but they could well through some other fighter I don't care to see in there.
Joshua's lot mentioned Whyte rather than Fury. Fury responded by calling them shithouses.
Fury vs Joshua would be shit. Fury is nothing special since coming back, but at the silane time I don’t see him getting knocked out. Boring points win in every round for ‘AJ’.
Don't see it going that way at all. If Fury is near his best he'd win on points, he's the better technical boxer who would try to dance around Joshua. Joshua would try to stop Fury and judging by his power, could.
The thing is, I doubt Fury is anywhere near his best.
Too many fighters live of old work for too long. Fury has had health and mental issues. I don't believe he is anywhere near his Wlad level. You can't judge him really on his two comeback fights because the opposiuton was so poor. Actually, I should know better. He foguht Chisora and Hammer in the two fights before Wlad and it worked out for him. Just listening to Fury talk. His voice is horrible and sounds like he is still recovering.
I still feel like he'd step up his prep for it. Hell, he's stepping up for Wilder, presumably. If he makes it past Wilder, he's ready.
It’s a shame we didn’t get to see them fight with them both at their best though. Tyson would have shown Joshua right up.
This fight was worth making purely for the build up alone.
I really hope Fury beats him. I think if he's anywhere near even approaching his best he does, too. That's obviousy quite a big if though.
Are they having the press conference in an empty room? No atmosphere whatsoever
I'm really quite bored of the, 'I'll pretend I want it to kick off now' thing to build hype. I find it hard to take you seriously that you really want to 'test the power' when you get pushed then get fended off by the combined might of Keith Chegwin and a bloke who bounces at Walkabout most nights.
They're too matey to really pull it off. What boxing needs is a proper headcase. I'm amazed the prison system hasn't turned up another Mike Tyson.
Why even take any notice of the build up, it's just trying to sell the fight to morons.
Good heavyweight fight on channel 5 at the moment.
The bloke in the suit got a broken jaw.
I dont care what type of protection I have on. No professional boxer is punching me.
What was they all thinking including Wilder
National Treasure Tyson Fury was good on the Roe Jogan podcast.
'And you know your gay lover Eddie Bravo?'
'Alright, okay.'
National treasure.
Hughie Fury vs Pulev about to start on Channel 5. Should be decent.
The state of that cut over Fury's eye.
Fury was very underwhelming.

Mayweather has signed a deal with Rizin (Japanese MMA promotion).
Will fight Tenshin Nasukawa in Japan on New Years Eve.
Weight and rules will be finalised in the coming weeks.
The guy is 27-0 in Kickboxing and 4-0 in MMA (although 3 of the guys he has faced in MMA had 0 wins, 2 were making their debut and 1 had already lost 3 times).
I know nothing about boxing, but that Japanese chap looks tiny, so unless the rules involve a fair bit of MMA he has no chance, surely?
Surely Mayweather has enough money to not have to live this circus shit.
He seems to be a bit of a knee specialist looking at his kickboxing record/highlights so that will go out the window.
Floyd will also not allow takedowns probably, elbows gone etc.
It will be effectively a glorified boxing match I'd imagine which gives the Japanese lad no chance.
They've also held 10 events at the Saitama Super Arena and only sold it out once.
As they guy Floyd is fighting has fought in MMA and kickboxing, this will definitely be a boxing match which is disappointing. I just want to see someone kick Floyd in the head. Its a cool idea though having a major fight on new years eve. Why Floyd is fighting in Japan though is strange. There has to be another motive behind this besdies the cheque.
Nah, it's all about the cheque. Well, that and this is probably a lot less work than preparing for a boxing match against a proper contender. So yeah, easy money for "Money" Mayweather.
I imagine that the only way he's getting the money he needs is if they're giving him a high percentage of PPV and/or ticket sales.
Absolute farce.

I don't know anything about the guy from Japan but I think its.safe to say whoever wins. It does not put any fighter any higher in any type of ranking system .
Pretty sure Mayweather has ongoing tax problems with the IRS.

Apparently not?
The Japanese bloke Mayweather is fighting is twenty years old. If Floyd gets biffed, whatever the rules, it'll be hilarious.
Floyd has put a whole stop to the thing. He wasnt looking to be headkicked at all.
Does anyone actually think Bellew has a chance tonight?
