Great fight.

Also the following announced by the WBC:

Gary Russell Jnr ordered to face Leo Santa Cruz.

Shawn Porter ordered to face Keith Thurman.

Jorge Linares and Adrien Broner ordered to fight in an eliminator.

Julian Williams vs Erislandy Lara ordered; winner to face Jermell Charlo.

Luke Campbell mandatory to Mikey Garcia (should be fight and beat Richard Commey).

 

All interesting; hope quite a few come to fruition. I don't see Golovkin taking on the Charlo fight by the end of this year though; and can't see him taking him on early next year when Canelo is likely to be fighting again on 5th May.

ETA: Anthony Dirrell vs Avni Yildirim has been ordered for mandatory position. Apparently Eubank Jr rejected the opportunity so Yildirim took his place despite losing to him.

Josh Taylor named BBBofC British Boxer of the Year. Got a few AJ fans raging anyway.


Doubly pleasing then.

Looking forward to seeing Beterbiev this weekend, he’s gone off the radar a bit, but he’s got the potential to be an absolute force at LHW. Would imagine he’ll have far too much for Callum Johnson.

This behaviour is for the idiot who doesnt know about boxing and thinks that pre fight needle is going to result in some sort of mass in-ring brawl.


Are they going for a Mayweather - McGregor world tour type thing? That was embarrassing enough at the time but - having only seen pictures and read a bit on Facebook - it seems this is even more staged/cringe/pointless/embarrassing.

It’s well documented that the two have a mutual respect so I don’t see the point in building this up to be something it isn’t. If anything, it suggests that Fury is desperate to make the most of one last pay day IMO.

Hadn't quite appreciated the size difference until seeing Fury & Wilder on stage. Fury is a monster and in his training videos looks like he's properly going for it, rather than tickling the bag whilst wearing socks and boxer shorts. Would love to see what happens if Wilder could actually cleanly stick one of his "bombz" on Fury's head but I'm struggling to see beyond a Fury points victory or maybe even a late KO.

Just came on to post the exact same...

Whit?

Can see a Khan esque knockout in Ricky’s future.

 

It’s not going to end well for him.  

Eddie Hearn is clearly cashing out on Fielding.
