    Also Zhang v Joyce 2 should be a decent scrap to look forward to.

    Lock me in for that. I still can’t believe the previously indestructible looking Joyce actually lost the first one !

    @kiwiinmelb Hopefully we see AJ v Wilder once he gets Whyte out of the way and as Fury clearly doesn't want anything to do with Usyk, we'll probably see him up against Hrgovic as a mandatory.

    Problem for Usyk is the Fury fight is the only fight out there for him, he's too good for everyone else and doesn't really need to be wasting time fighting anyone else.

    Wilder would beat Usyk.

    Hopefully Whyte doesn't land and KO AJ - as much as I love an underdog upset and as exciting as that would be it would really stuff up the HW landscape and the possibility of these mega $audi fights coming together.

    @MN5 Lol yeah nah. As much as I like Wilder, Usyk is far too cleaver and slick for Wilder's one straight right hand and would easily avoid it for 12 rounds.

    Glass jawed Artur Szpilka gave Wilder fits before Wilder landed one in the 9th and he ain't anywhere near Usyk's class so yeah, Usyk ain't getting beaten by anybody.

    You’re probably right but Wilder is ALWAYS a punchers chance. More so than anyone else in the division. Massive heart too as he showed in the third fight vs Fury.

    Fury doesn't want Usyk
    I expect him to retire again instead of facing him

    @kidcalder Yup sadly. Wish he'd just give up the WBC belt as he's holding up the division.

    3 fights I’d like to see , fury v usyk, canelo v benevidoz, Spence v Crawford,

    2 of them , who knows , but at least we’ve got this one,

    If you were to watch one fight this year , this is the one , both fighters are so talented and mentally tough .a true 50-50 .
    Fight of the year , no question. Get on it .

    @kiwiinmelb Yup, 2 big boxing fights this week, a rarity in boxing.

    Wimmer to go behind Naoya Inoue on the P4P lost after his demolition job on Stephen Fulton the other night.

    masterclass by Crawford, puts himself among the great welterweights ,

    I was a bit stunned at the one sided nature of the fight, Spence plan of walking his opponent down with high workrate and precision that has worked on every occasion to date ran into a roadblock , an opponent that hit him back with telling shots.

    Fury is bloody entertaining and great for the sport even if he is full of shit and contradictory a lot of the time ie saying he’s the best ever when he said Mike Tyson would have knocked him out in 30 seconds a few months prior……

    ……and it is baffling a guy in that kind of condition ( granted he slims down for actual fights ) is on top of the world.

    Bugger…..

    The guy that looked so formidable against Joseph Parker has been brought down to earth again…….

    Jeff Powell  /  Sep 23, 2023  /  Boxing

    Zhilei Zhang delivers brutal KO on Joe Joyce AGAIN

    Zhilei Zhang delivers brutal KO on Joe Joyce AGAIN

    JEFF POWELL AT WEMBLEY ARENA: The short journey from Putney to Wembley ended with Joe Joyce a heap on the floor. Down in less than three rounds and out of the big-time reckoning.

    Will either Fury or Joshua take up the challenge I wonder ?
