So that’s all boxers then.

3 days ago Hearn said Joshua was 100% fighting in July.

December?

fk about, surely that going to be Fury.

I answered Whyte on the pole because it was July… but if he is skipping that fight then Fury, wilder, or try scam his way into a vacant title shot.

Whyte and miller would still be fun, just a big wait for one of them.

The length in time between Joshua’s fights in the last 5 years have been ridiculous.

Povetkin to Ruiz - 9 months
Ruiz 1 to Ruiz 2 - 6 months
Ruiz 2 to Pulev - 12 months
Pulev to Usyk - 9 months
Usyk 1 to Usyk 2 - 11 months
Usyk 2 to Franklin - 8 months
Franklin to TBC - 8 months

He’s managed a fight a year since 2020.
“Boxrec people’s Champion” Usyk has managed a fight a year since 2019.

To be fair to Usyk his last scheduled opponent didn't fancy it.

Covid started in early 2020 & he was waiting on a date for the first Joshua fight & then a date for the 2nd Joshua fight.

Completely different scenarios. Joshua’s always been in the position to dictate when he’s fighting. He’s choosing to have long breaks between fights even before Covid & more recently.

When was the last time TBA had a good win ?
And is TBA better than TBC ?

And quite right too. Its in their job title: prize fighter.

Boxers deserve the biggest of paydays given that their health will most certainly be affected and that's before they've even stepped in the ring. CTE particularly from sparring is inevitable.

It’s over four and a half years since he boxed Bellew. He’s had 4 fights with nothing scheduled. You can’t blame it all on Covid.

I haven’t. I’ve just put that he was waiting on Matchroom to sort out both Joshua fights.

Do you think Hearn & Matchroom would’ve allowed him to have a tickover fight whilst he was mandatory challenger & then under contract with them for a rematch? Of course not.

Usyk’s not the one who’s coming into the ring, performing poorly & then blaming it on inactivity despite holding all the cards. That’s Joshua.

Good luck to you TBA.
You may have knocked him down in sparring, but you're seriously up against vs AJ !

Him only boxing Witherspoon in 2019 was nothing to do with COVID or Matchroom.

But what argument are you making? Joshua & Hearn have constantly said he’ll perform better when he’s more active, that he was going to fight 3 times this year, that they hold all the cards etc

Usyk’s not under performing & has never said he’ll fight more often or made excuses about inactivity for performances.

Good note. I can't consider Fury as a serious champion after all his comedies. Usyk looks the real deal in comparison to him, BUT!
If we look at the Cat's heavyweight career, he's been inactive for a long time prior to COVID and the war. There were talks about fighting Povetkin, Helenius, Takam and a bunch of other names, but in the end of the day they took Witherspoon. And he had been holding the WBO mandatory status all the time.

Now he's stalling again. Why not sign some average top-contender on a short notice for April 29th? It's normal practice for the champion. Wilder and Joshua did the same in similar situations.

When he’s held all the cards he’s chosen Boomer, Witherspoon, Chisora….

ya what a pussy usyk is, no ambition at all, needs to face chisora at least two more times to prove himself

Strange crack from AJ, talking like he has no control over his career whatsoever.

Twice a year is the absolute par for top boxers now though. Even young, rising stars stop taking 3+ fights a calender once they take any sort of meaningful 12 rounders.

All three took rounds off him as well.
