That same website states:

6 Anthony Joshua vs. Oleksandr Usyk – 1.232m


But .. I have no idea how accurate the site is, so it may be wrong .. it could be correct.

One thing appears consistent though is that AJ as champion sold a lot more than Fury as champion.

I am not reading anything that suggests Fury will shift any decent PPV numbers v Ngannou

The only consistent is AJ has never and never will be ppv in America. It’s world champion, not a UK one. Aj has sold better here until recently, I’ll give you that. They didn’t even dare risk him last time out in this country! Usyk v Dubois will get more publicity worldwide than Aj v Whyte, Fury v Ngganou multiple times.

Its simple it s an exhibition or its not and if its not and its over 12 rnds Francis lands a lucky punch and beats Fury he takes Furys title simple has that , But then raises the question how the fooook do they get away with sanctioning a fight between a undeafeated world champion belt holder and a what is he a wrestler with a 0-0-0 fights in boxing .

Then they take the piss by putting it on PPV , Jeez theres some fooookwits with too much money about , I mean this one is so competetive and such a joy to look forward too , i've already set my alarm to get up early and go for a ride in the rain , and i'm looking forward to that more than watching the Fury circus , don't even want to see John rip his shirt off and challenge Dana

I agree. It is utterly shameful. Can you imagine Djokovic avoiding Nadal and taking on the world squash champion in a tennis match instead.

"Yes, but look how hard the squash champion hits the squash ball against the wall. He is a big threat to Djokovic in a tennis match...etc etc"

This is worse, of course, because Ngannou will be getting hit round the head at will and won't be able to get out of the way.

I think this is one of the lowest points in boxing history. Still, Fury and his team seem immensely proud of themselves.

No, there is a good interview with Hearn on the Ariel Helwani show saying what a fantastic match up that would be. He was really all for it.

All this reminds me of the singer in The Godfather movie crying to Don Corleone and the Don saying YOU CAN BE A MAN, hahahahahahaha


THEY want to make October 28th an EPIC EVENT. I'll keep the rumours to myself - lets see what happens

Alexander Usyk and Alexander Krassyuk are 2 little whining clowning forking spooning bi*ches based on todays latest interviews

Kilburn wrote: ↑13 Jul 2023, 14:49 I don’t like the fight, at all, and as far as I can tell there was zero demand for it to happen.

But a modern day UFC heavyweight champion is not equivalent to an area level boxer. That’s just daft, frankly.
