I hope so, but what makes you feel that way ?
Hearn either made a mistake but he included it in a list of fights that you can only see on DAZN.

I also think it is the only big play that DAZN can make in the UK just now, and Hearn has been intimating that there is one coming.

Finally, I think it's the reason why the fight is abroad. With a site fee then Hearn can make this a massive fight for both fighters even losing out on the few 000,000s of buys that SBO would have over DAZN PPV. He can't do that at Wembley.

Not quite. If they were planning on going in London then the UFC would have changed date.

I dont think Usyk v AJ 2 is a decent contest.

If Usyk goes for it he blasts AJ into retirement

Saw the video. Not sure what they did but I imagine they deserved atleast talking to and someone who wasn't famous probably would've smacked them. Just because people know celebrities doesn't mean celebrities know these people. Mike Tyson's aeroplane video from the other week comes to mind, as does his famous comment about social media.

I’ve no problem with anyone putting a gobby little fornicator, raised on social media thus thinking they won’t get spanked, in their rightful place. The modern world needs reminding it’s not wise to prod a lion.

Yep, have to agree with you. Fair play to AJ on this one

I understand to a degree, these days people can say whatever they want and get away with it but in the other hand he should rise above it, he's a big star and this sort of stuff is part and parcel of it, but yeah I'd have probably scared the shit out of them too.

AJ is best when the mask slips. He’s dull as fvck when he’s pretending to be Mr Nice Guy. Much better when he has an edge about him.

As if he was actually going to smack anyone. With a room full of witnesses, he'll end up getting nicked for it and quite probably screw his career totally.

They are mouthy students, fair enough go in there and shut them up verbally but no need for threats of violence. They would probably have shit themselves just looking at him.

AJ posted this to his Snapchat.

I don’t think this is a great look for AJ. Gobby youths running their mouths trying to wind people up, well it’s nothing new is it. AJ pulling them to one side and giving them a lecture like a preachy old grand dad. Telling them he’s gonna break their jaws, such an empty threat, he’s never gonna do that. Instead of taking a stand with these kids, why didn’t he have the balls to stand up to Usyk instead of taking selfies with him. I’m now surprising myself by considering my allegiance to AJ is waning …..
