This fight is taking place in Latvia in July for the WBU cruiserweight title.

LMFAO. C'mon, Court!

Lol

Peak for peak, Fry, points.

Didn't Fry just lose in a 4 or 6 rounder?

Not that it makes much difference

Obviously made up for courtney but it's sad to see one the best fighters of the last 30 years drop to this level.

Contesting a belt with about as much value as something you can pick up in the ''george'' section of asda,in a part of the world with even less value than that,against an opponent who wouldn't have gone 2 rounds with him in his prime.

That's pretty random, I actually was fancying going to Latvia in summer for a few days or a week, so if this does happen I might combine it with that and watch this fight.

This feels like the sort of fight that doesn't happen.

Fight news and world boxing just confirmed it, it's for the Wbu cruiserweight title.

Hope it's not on pay per view, i'd like to see that

Yes I would like to see it myself, Roy has only ever been defeated by former world champions so fry could be the first non former world champion to beat him, I think fry has been massive under achiever who was badly managed early on in his career

What a bizarre match up. Probably will end in a draw in a fairly mild contest.

If ever i've heard of a good reason for pay per view, that's it right there

Maybe get Hopkins vs Stephenson on the undercard

Oh dear me.

Fry lost his last to Nathan King a couple of weeks ago who has lost nearly twice as many as he has won (although to be fair he is better than his record suggests). Even a very jaded RJJ would handle him very very easily. I'm hoping it doesn't happen if I'm being honest.

Fair play to Courtney but Chist how Jones has fallen taking this!

is Roy Jones Jr. one of these hounded by the IRS types?
not a very inspiring match-up is it?

Is it me or was Courtney Fry considered a very talented amateur who was at one time expected to do big things as a pro?

He won the ABA's at light heavy in 2001, he won a bronze at the Commonwealth Games and I think and went to the Olympics in 2000 but didn't medal. He won a stack of international medals.

Danny Green was never a world champion, neither was Lebadev

If it was just about the money, why did he not go for the Steve Collins fight.
It would have been a joke contest, but at least it would have generated some interest and funds for the taxman

Danny green was WBA world champion at light heavyweight and lebadev was a WBA cruiserweight world champion

He was a decent amateur but a bit of a flop internationally in the unpaid code.

I was thinking of the Olympics were he lost early.
