Talking about the ring walk reversals and how good the ring walk will be…. Fvck me.

Also I got up at 4:30 am over 3 hours ago and have watched aproximatly 5 mins of compelling boxing viewing.

What is it with the massive gaps between fights?

This is nearly on German card levels of padding.

Same reason I got fed up with being at live shows. 6-7 hours cramped up with huge gaps, too old for that sh!t.

Interesting interview with Sulaiman on German DAZN. The reporter repeatedly asked him about Agit vs Usyk being next, and after trying to dodge the topic a few times, Sulaiman eventually confirmed that the winner is supposed to fight Agit next. He said letters have already been sent to the lawyers involved. Apparently he also wants the fight to take place in Germany, although no timeframe was mentioned.

It’s already past 11 here. Ring walls were supposed to be 10 mins ago.
