Oleksandr Usyk vs. Anthony Joshua II | Sky Sports PPV - 20 August 2022

[daz74]

Anyone heard any rumours Joshua planning on using raid sirens and bombing noise effects to get into Usyk’s head.
I know he’s dropped the ‘stay humble’ shite but this can’t be real, can it?
Prick is already a racist… surely he can’t use war to his advantage?

why do you feel Joshua is racist ?

“Black people should only buy products from black owned businesses”

And I think it was Eddie Chambers… or another black boxer… where they exchanged trash talk direct messages and he called him a “disgrace to the superior black race”

I’m sure there’s other indicators of racism out there.

Come on dude, that’s such a ridiculous story, there’s absolutely zero chance of it being true.

I never once said it was true. I’m not trying to be annoyingly pedantic. Just was genuinely curious if this seen my anyone else as it is quite an astonishing claim.

[joshj909]

A new factor to consider. Will Usyk come in even lighter?!

[gregregegg]

Iv said that would be an issue all along. War time rations are hardly your 5000-10000 calories of nutrient dense foods.

Mental factors aside it could take him months to get back into proper shape.

[Shambles]

22 pounds in a week? That can't be correct can it?

It's hardly astonishing that idiots on Facebook and Twitter are making shit up. What purpose do you think is served by you repeating it?

Jesus Christ.
Get a grip. We all know it’s incredibly likely to be bullshit. I was just wondering whether it had been heard by others, or was a more widely known viscous rumour.
I know it’s 2022 but stop trying to make every post seem slanderous.
It’s a boxing forum. It’s not like I’ve not made it clear that I too think it’s crap,
Was just a generally wondering in how far that rumour had travelled as it was posted by a semi-serious poster.

Just watched that fight again. For the most important fight of his career, Usyk came in in best shape of his life and delivered best performance - in hostile territory against boxing megastar. True professional. Whole boxing world should talk more about this man. Btw that bald head, earrings and moustache was image i was not expecting haha

[Grilling Machine]

22 pounds in a week? That can't be correct can it?

When I had a really bad flu I went from 200 to 175 within a fortnight, but was hardly eating for maybe 10 days. I've still a few faded stretch marks 20 years later.

So starting at 210-220 it's totally possible, but requires a starvation diet. If he's been that underfed he'll have lost a lot of muscle and strength.

It's because the old speech he read out about only using black shops etc. I dont think he's smart enough to be a racist, he just read out some BS some tosser put in his hand.

Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Uysk ‘very difficult’ to stage in UK, Eddie Hearn admits

Saudi Arabia is emerging as the likeliest location for the heavyweight title rematch

“If contracts and site fees that have been offered come to fruition, it would make going to the UK very difficult for us to get Usyk to do, quite frankly,” Hearn told the Mirror.

“We can see it from their point of view: ‘Why would I bother going back to England for half the money?’

“We can’t take a site that pays significantly less to Usyk. We want to go to London, it would be a big advantage for AJ to take this fight back to London, but if a site fee generates double the money, there’s no way Usyk will allow us to go to London.

“So, we do have to take that into consideration, but AJ just wants to fight.”

I'd keep your nonsense for Mumsnet mate

Don't do it then, Eddie. You have plenty of money. AJ has plenty of money, Usyk has plenty of money. Rather than promote the Saudi regime, just say no. None of you are going to be in the bread line if you knock it back. Greedy bastards.

[whiskey]

I wonder what "the fans" will make of it going to Saudi.

With muscle memory, weights and his special ‘supplements’ he’d rebuild very quickly though.

Yeah sure Eddie. Usyk’s always been such a prima donna hasn’t he. He’s definitely the reason it won’t be held in the U.K.

Acting like its only about the money.... Howard Fosters card wont help, Whenever people sook about big fights not being in England, incompetent judges have to take some of the blaim.

[skanksta]

The war and the wait definitely gives AJ a chance that he didn’t really have before.

Maybe not on the wait, but The War is obviously a huge factor.

It’s a bit low to push the blame on Usyk isn’t it - particularly coming from his situation - when he’s only worried about cashing in himself!
