Angela Raynor housing secretary

I hope he will be okay, and he’s not like traditional boxers in that he started late and built up an education beforehand. I do though always worry about the mentality of fighters who pride themselves and are hyped around their strength and that “no one can stop them” Once they start to move backwar...

Oh come on, not Chisora. He should have fought Gassiev or Wardley after Wallin….not after quite a clear defeat vs an ancient Wilder.

He said that's enough while still standing, is that any different from a boxer k nowingly rising just a split second after the ref counts to ten, or laying on ropes knowing if you don't throw back that's game over. It's all a way of saying no mas , and to be fair he'd taken 10 rounds of punches so ...

Its a bit of a shocker though going by the reports - he could have quit many many times over vs Hrgovic so sad to see it like that. Perhaps there was some reason behind it beyond just having a guts full. Having now seen it - it is incredibly weird. He was even doing a bit of "showboating" ...

Why the shock, Hatton vs Tszyu the same.

Or watch his netflix documentary to see clips of it.

It says it all really - this is only to make "juicy" content for his reality show.

Its a joke and not going to lie so is the fight (we think) after. Its all about the netflix.

Think we are going through a bad phase for the sport where it is mixed with reality TV and crazy money making crazy fights.

Hope he earns well - it will be interesting how it plays out. If he is aligned to this youtuber / celebrity / viral guys he will have to go seriously easy on them. So it will be interesting how he is promoted in the future - way to good for these youtubers, is he good enough for the "real"...

If what the BBC is reporting is true it really was the most pointless war ever.

The deal is everything on Iranian terms, which is was before the war and Iran to “reiterate” to not make nuclear weapons.

And what did they sign under Obama

This is purely for his netflix show I am sure - they'll be promoting the new series like crazy. He is very much a celebrity boxer now. I was actually warming to the Idea that I had heard that Fury was to fight someone for the Northern Area title - that could have been a real life "Rocky" s...

Having now seen the fight with Rico - I really do not know what was off with Usyk, but something definitely wasn't right there. Age? Extra weight? Just took Rico lightly? At times I felt like he was pulling his punches and his handspeed was way off. He looked like a fighter who wasn't really intere...

I do wonder how much is AJ influencing Usyk as much as the other way around. Usyk in training looked a "beast". His arms have gotton so much bigger.

He didn't carry the weight well, but I don't think he took Rico lightly. He would have gassed if he had.

Surely this is just a tool to promote Series 3 of his reality show. Makmudov was really perfect for it. I think they're already recording it.. Yes, but when are they likely to screen it? In the run up? The last fight was definitely linked to series 2. A step up from makmudov surely = too risky and ...

Makmudov was really perfect for it.

Timing is clearly "odd" - waited until his contract expired. How retired was he?

Isn't it a bit odd that he had a "time frame" contract and not just a number of fights deal with top rank.

Aye. It’ll all come out. Even without the insider info that seems to be apparent (and I don't think Sean is the type to intentionally shit stir without evidence) - even just following Dave's career you can see that 1) He doesn't train as he should for a pro and 2) He has got a fair amount of where ...

My thoughts Pure grifter Those who know know why he doesn’t train one of his female fighters who he now just manages. Had a chance to fight full time as a pro and couldn’t be arsed to train and made zero effort to sell tickets. Lied about doing his runs. Gave Hobson the runaround Ponced various wom...

Very legitimate case to make Hrgovic favourite against any non world title holder. Huge step up for Itauma.

I seem to remember Lennox Lewis's corner in the first McCall fight telling him to 'forget everything I've taught you, just go out there and knock him out ' or something very similar, he then got flattened :doh: I've watched that knockout back a few times and a part of me says British Stoppage (alth...

Yes - Chisora should have taken his lofty world ranking based on Otto Wallin's even loftier world ranking and got some kind of world title fight - whether that was Wardley or Gassiev and then set of into the sunset.

Bit of a shocker this one.

As the title of the thread is Heavyweight fight and not title fight. I will put Chisora vs Whyte 1 in the mix.

But title fight - for me is Usyk vs Fury 1.
