Goldstar did one there yesterday with Hearn and Fwank. £500 a ticket.

What's it like in Saudi? I guess no beer or birds?

No drink. Incredible looking Ukrainian women with hard looking blokes.

Knew a guy who was stationed in the Army in Saudi, he said each regiment brewed their own alcohol in very large quantities - it was widely known by the Saudi authorities, who turned a blind eye - though a local official would arrive from time to time, in mock outrage and would search the place and then demand baksheesh to keep schtum. If you were found to be drunk in public, then there were serious consequences, but if you kept it to yourself, then you were fine.

I’ve got a bet on. It will probably just go on council tax and British Gas if it comes in unfortunately. Dunno how old you are but I haven’t half changed in my 30s. So it goes

50 in December. Scary stuff! I’ve not bet for years but I’ve a feeling that to operate at the very top level you should (in theory) need to be a lot more professional than Tyson Fury.


I’ve not checked, but possibly this will be the first time he’s faced someone with a top line amateur background.

Well, if you discount Olympic gold medalist Wlad Klitschko, sure, Fury’s never fought a top amateur.

Ah yes, missing that obvious point. Although at this stage Usyk seems much more of a live wire than the ageing Wlad Plus Fury was in far better shape back then.

tigermoth87 wrote: ↑17 May 2024, 14:51 Fury seems intimidated here.

He's absolutely intimidated. He's a very insecure person deep down. No slight on him here it's just obvious to me and always has been. He wouldn't stare at him, not because he's scared but he knows the size of the task in front of him and the fact he has been unable to rattle Usyk. The 'no looking' in the first face off, he was desperate to look at him, kept shifting his head to see what Usyk was doing out of the corner of his eye.

I'm quite confident Usyk will do enough to win here tonight. Cannot wait.

Serious. Bloody hell that’s good !

Steveh583 wrote: ↑18 May 2024, 10:12 today I'm wondering if Usyk is slightly overrated cos of his cruiserweight achievements and the first AJ win. When I think of the Dubois, Chisora and 2nd AJ fight, I think this may be Furys night.

Enjoy mickey

On DAZN Germany, Bernd Bönte, former manager of Klitschko is one of the commentators for them today. They just spoke about Wilder and Bönte called him a terrible boxer and one trick pony. He literally said Klitschko had him down every third round of sparring as Wilder is completely useless when put under pressure.

A grand for flights, hotel and tickets? Christ, that's a bargain. You must be sitting at the back, staying at the Travelodge and flying Easyjet for them prices.

Enjoy Mickey! Good for you!!

Everyone always fails to pronounce or write Alex' name properly. Tonight Fury ultimately shows, whether it's Pussyk or Poosyk.

for the recordd my final pick is that it's a super close fight, fury wins a sd, much arguing ensues

IPTV is shite tonight. Buffering too much so I've bitten the bullet and paid 25 squid!

He is at home in Stockport.

114 113 Usyk, but the first three rounds were way close.
