    Starting to really like Joe Joyce. Think he's a problem for almost everyone in the division.

    Walks though Joshua and Wilder in my opinion.

    Wilder absolutely, Joshua still no.

    No Fury Joshua fight says Tyson or is that just a ruse to get more money out of the fight ?

    It's Fury absolutely conning the public as the biggest lying, bullsh*tter in sport, as per.
    Never had any intention of fighting Joshua and was always going to be fighting Charr, as rumoured before he suddenly called out AJ.

    Used Joshua and dangling the carrot of that fight for publicity and then desperately started trying to weasel out once Joshua called his bluff and agreed by putting ridiculous, needless deadlines on the signing of a contract which obviously isn't that simple. Now, shock horror, he's going back and forth with Charr - who is an absolute nobody - online. There is literally no other explanation other than he never wanted to fight Joshua and was always fighting Charr. Is that fight going to do even half as much for his legacy or bank balance as fighting Joshua? No, but he doesn't want it.

    A master manipulater with a brainwashed, cult like following who will believe every pile of crap that comes flying out of his mouth. Absolutely cannot stand the bloke.

    Still, was nice of him to give away that entire purse of his to the homeless that time...

    Oh...

    Yeah, was a fan of Fury, admired his comeback story, and the fights with Wilder were entertaining but this silly persona thing is really wearing thin.

    Don't see how he can be the one putting deadlines on making these big fights, when he was one who has retired 5 times in the last 6 months. Stupid carry on.

    Feel like he'd be better off faffing around the WWE with Logan Paul and the likes.

    Already hasn't done. Doesn't care about money, fame or material things, though...

    Which is weird considering he was posting his brand new Porsche earlier.

    Joyce absolutely battered by a 40 year old Zhang.

    The bandwagon jumping casuals were actually spouting how he'd "sMaSh AJ" and cause Usyk and Fury problems.

    A big, slow, technically poor lump with a hard head, but who has now been shown capable of being hurt, which doesn't leave him with much.

    WillisWasTheWorst Its making less grammar mistake's thats important

    Is it just me or do boxers seem way too old these days? I remember in his commentary, Harry Carpenter’s incredulity that Ali could regain the world title at 32.

    Tyson Fury is the most overrated heavyweight in history, living off of a win against a past his best Klitschko eight years ago and besting a complete fraud in Deontay Wilder - a man who's reputation is built solely upon knocking out lowly ranked, handpicked nobodies - and tonight he almost certainly lost to a 38 year old MMA fighter who's never had a boxing fight in his life, and had to have the judges rig him a result to save his reputation and the fight against Usyk.

    Boxing is completely in the mud. An unbelievably corrupt, pathetic sport.

    Honestly, the blurring between professional wrestling and boxing is pretty much complete.

    Most of these fights seem to end with someone being unfairly “robbed”..

    The judging system is a real issue open to bias ?

    Fast going down the road of the only boxing that’s watched is scripted ‘celebrity’ boxing like the disgrace of a show a few weeks ago.

    Last night was a comparable disgrace. After a great undercard fight (in a different arena) in Wardley, seeing the over the top ‘opening ceremony’, ex-pros and celebrities looking like automatons in the audience taking the money, the governing bodies and TNT Sports sucking up to the organisers was vomit inducing. To see my favourite boxer of all time Lennox Lewis try to claim that Fury won that fight was truly saddening.

    As for Fury, I couldn’t agree with you more. Bum of a fighter. I’m sure he’ll fight Joshua now he’s a spent force. After seeing him last night, I doubt he’d have got through 6 rounds against the prime Joshua of yesteryear. I’m sure the usual clapping seals that like Fury will claim different.

    Boxing is dying on its arse.

    Dominant by AJ and Parker. The only question of the whole night was if Wilder could catch Parker with a massive hook.

    As I've been saying for a good seven or eight years now, Wilder is a complete and utter fraud. A laughably one dimensional, stat padding, fraud who's never beaten anyone. Exposed again when there's not some handpicked doorman across the ring from him.

    That version of Joshua tonight was probably the best version we've ever seen of him. Finally knitted together his much improved footwork, head movement and defensive skills with his old aggression and desire to go and get people out of there.

    The fight won't happen now but Joshua would knock Wilder out cold within four or five rounds, and he knocks Fury out as well.

    We all knew this was coming. People have been calling it ever since the day they announced the fight. It was never going to happen. Fury is absolutely terrified of losing to Usyk and being exposed for the fraud that he is.

    One of the biggest conmen in the history of sport and probably the most overrated heavyweight of all time. Absolutely cannot stand the bloke or his insufferable, embarrassing dad.

    He's an absolute disgrace and anyone who still supports him needs their heads checking, and if you believe this isn't entirely intentional and engineered then I've got some spirit level bubbles to sell you

    2 Questions.

    Do you not think the fight happens say, this year?

    If it does, who do you genuinely think wins?

    I'm not massive fan of Fury, but I do get amused at the conspiracy theorists (not saying you are) that just cant fathom that a boxer has got cut in sparing before a fight.

    I understand the general frustration at having to wait so long for this fight to finally get signed, and for this to happen 2 weeks out, but.. he was sparring, and he got caught with a freak elbow it seems. I don't believe there's conspiracy to deliberately get the fight postponed or cancelled. Usyk is very very good, but I don't believe Fury fears him any more than he should, and is looking for a way out of the fight.

    I think Usyk wins. Usyk is a once in a generation talent. A pure boxer with phenomenal skill. Fury is living off a win against a past his prime Klitschko nine years ago and a trilogy with another huge fraud in Wilder, and has is coming off the back of a complete embarrassment against a non-boxer. The fact anyone thinks he's one of the best heavyweights of all time is so far beyond laughable it's mind boggling.

    The reason I can't fathom this is legitimate is because Fury has form for dodging fights and because there's been a lot of noise coming out of his camp that he's not looked himself and isn't ready. Conveniently he suddenly gets a bad cut and it's off. What a shock... The video that "leaked" of it supposedly happening, filmed on a potato, is hilarious too. It's 2024 and the footage of Fury getting cut was seemingly filmed on a 30 year old camcorder.

    He and has family have turned the division into a complete and utter circus and the division and sport as a whole will be better off when the conman is retired.

    I don’t think Fury wants to fight Usyk. He never has. Doesn’t like the fight, doesn’t like the money involved and after the Ngannou embarrassment, he seemed pretty shot and aimless and probably get dealt win. Usyk can handle heavyweight powershots and has proven that. He’ll dance around Fury and win a wide points decision.

    Fury knows the biggest money fight left is Joshua. It’s double or triple what he’d get for Usyk, undisputed title or not.

    Bold prediction - Joshua beats Ngannou. Fury pulls out of the Usyk May date. Joshua fights Usyk. Joshua beats Usyk. Fury vs Joshua for undisputed early next year.

    Joshua wins.
