Do you think Ngannou is playing possum and will be sharper on fight night than he looks in these videos?

Possible cos he looks so bad. But surely he knows this isn’t a real contest, basically an exhibition. It would sell more if Ngannou looked good. As it is he has no chance. None

Good job this isn’t actually a fight.
Even the dodgy sanctioning body’s might struggle to licence this guy.
This is basically WWE.

This may have been asked a 100 times but, why is the entire bill not on boxrec?

They're all unsanctioned and presumably without permission of the BBBofC. Fury fights in England without a BBBofC licence (I'll let you guess why) and David Adeleye does. Because the WBC title isn't at stake, there is no need to have silly little things like drug testing.
It's interesting that there have been a few unsanctioned shows in history, which still make BoxRec. Like Foreman-Grimsley, which has the IBA and WBU titles at stake.
Wardley-Adeleye is an interesting one, where presumably the British title will not be at stake. That fight isn't an exhibition, but is unsanctioned, so let's see if that one finds its way onto BoxRec. I doubt it,

They’re clearly not putting these clips out to impress anyone. Ngannou should look considerably better on the night.
If not, he surely has to have some kind of underlying health condition.

Fury failed two tests in the past, one of which didn't come to light for more than a year. He also doesn't have a BBBofC licence and won't be making a defence of his title until at least a year since his last fight. Make of that, what you will.

No. I’ve watched him the UFC he can’t box, with 4oz gloves on he can swing from the hip so looks faster than he does here.
But he’s just a big, slow lump. He’s going to be a heavy bag in there.

It’s probably scripted. Fury will be stringing him along for a few rounds. At some point he’ll take a shot or 2 and try to make it look like he’s been bothered. Then he ends it somewhere in the agreed time.
It’s an exhibition and we’ve already seen this nonsense with Mayweather and McGregor. I guess enough time has passed for them to pull of the exact same con again.
It’s shameless really.

The people I know who are buying the 'fight' are all UFC fans, who occasionally watch boxing. When I asked one of them why, he said, 'because it's entertainment'. WWE is fake as hell, but it's entertaining, so maybe they're right. I won't be watching to find out.

Is Fury licensed by any board? Like a Luxembourg license or something?
