Ah, ok. I don't follow boxing closely enough to know whether he's a prick or not, but he was spot on about that last night. I only really get involved with heavyweight title fights.

I must say, I've become a massive fan of Usyk recently. He's fucking brilliant. Would love to see him fight Fury.

 

Not to sound like a hipster but I liked him before HW but wasn’t sure if he would make the move up. Happy to say I was wrong,  massively impressed by him, looking forward to his next fight over AJ and if his next fight is AJ think I’ll be cheering Usyk on

Same here probably. I thought Joshua Fury was the dream fight, but I'm not so sure now. But as I say, I know nothing.

Think the British media do a great job of hyping it up. Eddie Hearn called it the biggest fight in British history. That’s all well and good Edward but if your fighter is getting his clocked cleaned then history won’t be made. Fuck the hype, best two men is what we deserve to see.

Setting up a 3 fight contract should be banned, ties up the whole division and robs paying fans of proper boxing

Only just starting to get my head around that. Makes a mockery of the "competition", but makes fuck-tons of money. Money always wins.

I'd even go so far as to say re-matches are ridiculous. You lose, tough shit. That's sport.

Matchroom which is owned by Barry Hearn and ran by Eddie has just signed a massive tv deal. 
If you are signed under matchroom you’ll fight under DAZN which is an American tv channel which you pay a monthly subscription to, and if it’s PPV then you pay more for that. 

Sky and BT are also paying DAZN to be able to show their fights 

They have it wrapped up. Then if a matchroom fighter fights a top rank fighter (aj vs fury for example) which is Bob arums company, in theory you could have a fight on three PPV channels, DAZN Sky and Showtime and PPV in America is best part £60.

The money is huge. They’re all waiting on that next young star to come through and whoever that is is going to get seriously paid.

Fury is evens to beat Wilder on Sky Bet.

Don’t know a lot about gambling but this is the first time Wilder has been the underdog with Vegas in his entire career.

Evens is mad in HW boxing especially with Wilders KO record, all it takes is one punch

only for a maximum of £10, other than that he's 1/3

Retirement dosser

I hope Fury comes out wearing Wilders suit , but it’s made out of paper mache pva glue and glitter with Neil Buchanan carrying the belt 

I want fury to win

But got a feeling Wilder wants it more.

Too nervous to think about it 

Might as well stay up for the fight as won't be able to sleep now

I'll put these in here rather than divert the mental health thread. If you're interested in Mike Tyson first two years boxing professionally

Can’t believe folk paying to watch fury wilder, if wilder wins it then boxing’s fixed.

Oh I’m not paying for it taps nose

£20 for it, or one and a half Casino beers

Who pays?! I don't 👀

20/1.5 doesn't go...

Plus he doesn't pay that much.

£12.50 is the average.

1.6 x a Casino Catpiss Can = £20.

No way I am staying up to watch it, it can wait till I rise Sunday. 

Weigh-in happening in the next hour or so.

Fury’s comments about his weight not being an issue is slightly concerning. If he’s at his heaviest it could be an issue

Doubt he'll be at his heaviest 😁

Livestream if anyone's interested.

 

I’ve just heard Wilder say this

”some people say my right hand is from God and if it touches you, you will be baptised”

 

What a fuckin bell
