Rogan made himself sound silly when comfronting fury and hennessy, Iv lost a bit of respect for him to be honest, he took money to be a reserve for the chisora v fury fight then says he isn't prepaird for the 17th september don't go saying your gonna knock out fury then back down, not the best of moves imo all a bit

he has a manager like everyone else.
the fact is Tyson Fury's next fight is against a very average opp...and thats down to management.
you lot all sanction these ridiculous alphabet titles by subscribing.
i dont see what all the fuss is about
i still like Rogan
Have to agree with this, i don't think there's been a braver boxer i've seen in the last 5 years years and if it wasn't for his moment of compassion against Sexton during their first fight he surely would have got an opportunity to fight for a Real World title 2 years ago.
Sure he's talking shit about the WBU belt but he's 40 years old and knows his days are numbered in the sport so no harm letting him live out his world champion fantasy for one night and i'm sure the irish boxing community would support him even knowing the WBU is worthless although it does have some Marquee value after being featured in the oscar winning film 'The Fighter' which i'm sure would have been a popular film in Ireland.
Having said that, Pineda is a disgraceful opponent so maybe he's brought the criticism on himself...surely they could have found a better live body just to make things look better!

The fuss is that Rogan ducked the British Champion... And he is now claiming that he will be fighting for a world title and come "The World Champion".
When the truth is that the standard of opposition (Pineda) is actually worse that Tyson Fury.

Yes.
But let's not get any further into that mate, no good can come of it.

Maybe because of that interview above. Jesus wept.
“For once in the history of Irish boxing, Irish fight fans are going to realise the dream of watching one of their own fight for a heavyweight title on home soil. I will be a world heavyweight champion on October 27. You better believe it!”
“I am going to become the first-ever Irish world heavyweight champion born and bred on this wonderful island. I am going to create a piece of sporting history for people to say they watched it being made in the historic city of Belfast, the fight capital of the world.”
“The WBU is a recognised title in world championship boxing and it will put me in the equation, big time.”
“On the night of October 27 when I am Ireland’s first real heavyweight champion, I will be calling on Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko to remind them that they don’t own all the titles and they will have to come to Belfast to fight me if they want to back up their claim to be the undisputed heavyweight team.”
I just got a little bit sick in my mouth reading this.
Rogie and his team should be ashamed of themselves for coming out with bullshit like this...
Is the promotions company listed as running this show F/JRL Promotions, based in Twin Spires Centre Belfast and BBBoC registered? Also Rogan said he had been working closely with John Campbell of the BBBoC in his interviews. I thought it was pretty well explained by Rogan that this was a BBBoC fight.
