Maybe Hype is the wrong word, because it wasn't a main stream media type thing and most probably forgotton about him or never heard of him - but Angelo Dundee trained Swedish (yes Swedish) Heavyweight Attila Levin - he got a few "in the know" talking about him after he completely outboxed ...

World Level - Not been mentioned David Tua Ike Ibuachi (or however you spell it) Omar Sheika Daniel Dubios - I think people forget that prior to Joyce, he was really up there with Moses in the Hype train as a world class fighter.

What is Buatsi doing with his career ?! :doh: I'd argue Joshua is a better boxer than Yarde with better wins on his record, yet Yarde has had 3 undeserved & failed attempts at a world title and Buatsi...zero ! Lyndon Arthur & Craig Richards have both had a stab at Bivol's titles, but sweet ...

It just seems a bit "rediculous" that one of the "poster boys" for Zuffa and a brit is fighting on DAZN PPV. You would think given the massive song and dance that was made of Zuffa going to Sky - that this would be a SKY PPV.

Maybe I am having more of a conspirancy, but in my heart I think this is all a play so it makes for "good TV" for Fury's TV show. They will have to make it look like it really happened (hence why its gone so public). You can just imagine it now - Fury on the phone to Spencer Brown / repres...

He’s survived fake cancer so he can survive anything I know there was a lot of talk from people with an insider knowledge about why he was absent from Sky shows for several months and then just left and I am not suggesting that what people were saying wasn't true (I wouldn't have a clue and won't p...

Not going to ask if Starmer did a good job or not, clearly there are areas of PR and Political judgment weakness that were clear (and on the PR front at least we could have predicted way before July 2024) - but my question is did Labour, AND Starmer, press the panic button a bit too soon. Starmer wi...

Surely Farage is toast? This is as bad as Boris and the Covid Parties.

I think that yes Garcia should be a pretty hot favourite - particularly given we don't really know how Benn will cut it (no pun) at 147. However, I am glad some people are noting the inconsistencies with Garcia.

I completely agree this "god like" status that he gets on talksport seems a bit much. Particularly when they have their own "voice of boxing" who I always looks like he is redundant when they do post fight analysis at the end. They could (and perhaps should) use more of John Rawl...

WBC: Kabayel WBA: Gassiev IBF: Hrgovic All tough blokes but for the glamour division this is a desultory lineup. 30 years ago there was a brief hellish period where Bruno, Seldon and Botha held all the silverware, a comparable low -- but the division also had Tyson, Bowe, Lewis, Holyfield, Moorer a...

I think Filip has better technique and also better stamina. Not questioning Wardley's stamina, just there have been times were he has looking very close to being out of it and has some quieter rounds were he looks close to being stopped. I don't think his power later on with get him out of jail like...

It is such a weird end to the fight. I don't think I have ever seen a fighter - that "gone" in his legs, without it seemingly being from a head shot, but still producing shots that was causing Hrgovic's head to spray. He certainly wasn't through Arm weary shots? It was most bizarre and mak...

I won't forget when Eddie had to make this big announcement for the Dazn commentary / presenting team - "best in the business" - most now gone. Mike Costello just sadly didn't translate to TV - he wasn't bad, but John Rawling also is better on radio than TV. Maya Jama was purely eye candy ...

I think Hrgovic is also a somewhat unknown quantity. When he was with matchroom he was hyped as a champion in the making, number 2 to Joshua. The Zhang scraping by was perceived as good learning fight. He was quite an overwhelming favourite to be Dubois. When he lost that, he was highlighted as “exp...

I don’t think Eddie Hearn gives a damn about British fight fans. His latest interview with Kugan is ridiculous. He’s talking about how unfair it is on British fight fans if it happens abroad. He’s taken fighters abroad for years. He’s had all British fights on undercards in Saudi Arabia that would’...

I think must be a call for Kevin McBride - okay he was pretty damn poor, but Tyson was still a very very decent name at the time of their fight. Okay - not the same buzz as Danny Williams, but that victory got Danny Williams a world title shot in his next fight. Kevin McBride didn't fight for a year...

To be fair Tyson fought there five times consecutively, including once against a non American, before he got banned as a known Kinihan associate. He was even meant to be buying a property there. He did, but that's quite a while back now and that was in an odd time in boxing when Bob was still "...

I think 50:50 is fair - one wouldn't be getting the purse of this size without the other. Not even close. I think the fact it is in the states is also testament to what Netflix / Turki assume is the financial clout of them two together and fighting each other. When is the last time Fury fought in th...

Joe has been truly inspirational in the way he has approached his fight. Seeing him being interviewed with his "new haircut" was really really sad. You've smashed it once Joe, you can do it again and positive thoughts is there is an operation to come - which is positive. My old man never h...

it will do the biggest view #s & live gate in NYC ! Netflix has done their homework. It will be awesome ! I never understand the maths of scenarios like this. MSG holds 20k, Wembley holds 90k. So the average ticket at MSG would need to be four and a half times more expensive than a Wembley tick...

Think he is spot on there,

And on a side note - good to see him looking well and sounding coherent.
