watching the weigh in, Dev Sahni was saying the roof came off when Joe was introduced, proving how he’s transcending the sport.
Meanwhile BBC reports
“Disappointingly, the lack of reporters at Thursday's news conference and the small crowd at the weigh-in suggests this is a fight which has not yet captured the attention of wider sports fans.”

If you've got Prime you can flick TNT Sports on for a month for ahem.. £29.99, with a couple of button clicks.Nightmare Roy wrote: ↑23 Sep 2023, 15:32SeanBrennan wrote: ↑23 Sep 2023, 14:11 I just stupidly assumed it would be ppv as everything half decent seems to beme too! Anything half decent with a bit of hype always costs at least a Bobby these days. I dont have the channel so it's the radio for me as per usual
If you happen to like UFC then you'd also get the Machachev v Oliveira 2 (and Khamzat v Costa) show on the 21st October, which is surely one of the best double headers of the year. BT Sport majorly took the piss putting their first fight on Box Office, but not this time thankfully, which I suspect is largely due to the Fury v Ngannou nonsense a week later.

Cheers mate, we cancelled it a while back and to be honest I don't think I'd give them £30. I don't mind the radio, I'm a proper casual now, I'll only pay for really big fights. Went halfs with someone for the Usyk fight.Kilburn wrote: ↑23 Sep 2023, 15:43If you've got Prime you can flick TNT Sports on for a month for ahem.. £29.99, with a couple of button clicks.Nightmare Roy wrote: ↑23 Sep 2023, 15:32SeanBrennan wrote: ↑23 Sep 2023, 14:11 I just stupidly assumed it would be ppv as everything half decent seems to beme too!

I'm picking Zhang but it's easy to make a case for JJJ, avoids the left hand, gets his jab working and keeps the pace up.
Re: Zhilei Zhang vs. Joe Joyce II | TNT Sport - 23 September 2023
Zhiang has quicker hands and Joe could not evade the left cross.
Hope Joe pulls it off but needs to be careful and get out of the way of that left.
I think Zhiang will come out bombing and he is faster, but he might gas out (I hope).

Okay goof, you post the betting slip with all the money you have on Zhang winning by stoppage (presumably you believe it'll end in the 6th round again), so go hit the jackpot. Oh, what's that? You're full of sh*t? Thought so.
Zhang could barely beat Hrgovic (who is truly awful), so if we're talking about who's garbage, maybe you should take a look at Zhang.

Because of a freak injury and STILL he KO'd Lerena.
You mean the Zhang who lost to Hrgovic? That Zhang? See? We can both do this. Hrgovic is absolutely awful.
All planets.
Your opinion on what will happen in a completely different fight has nothing to do with the rematch between Zhang & Joyce.![]()

I was close to taking him up on the offer of posting my bet slip before this fight but I am worried some will find me banging on about betting a bit tiresome.Gran Hermano wrote: ↑23 Sep 2023, 19:56Oh what’s that?

Fair play to Zhang. He won't need to put his hand into his pocket to buy a pint in any bar in China I'm sure.

He will be in line for the Fury v Usyk winner, if he is signed to FW, the probability is high.Nightmare Roy wrote: ↑29 Sep 2023, 16:30 Fair play he deserves it! Hope he can get an super fight soon.![]()
Fury has never had a problem to go to the other man's backyard, it will be huge in China
