The qoute about Dick Turpin - I pretty much take that as a sneaky reference to any negotiations going for fighting AJ, abd he wasn't happy at what was offered. I have to say It its about time Fury realised he isn't likely to get another shot at Usyk and tbh, he has to acccept any world title ambitions he now has to let go of.
I feel that if he did fight Usyk a third time, he will simply get battered from pillar to post, and the ending could be far more brutal than it was in December. Looking back at that fight, I think it was only his courage that got him through it and it is time he accepted it.

I would not be at all surprised in about 6 months' time, if His Excellency tempted him with a sizeable purse that he & AJ fought and Hs Excellency stated the conditions that a) they would share it 50 - 50 - and b) they both retired immediately after the fight. Even now, I think any fight with AJ
still has some weight as a fight today, and I certainly do think it'll be 50 - 50 in terms of the result and close, probably would come down to a split decision.

Frank & Eddie need their heads knocking together to get it on.

His brother Tommy should retire also, so there dad John will shut his gob and disappear.

Parker V Dubois is going to be very interesting, I think Parker will push Dubois hard.

I think His Excellency needs to put a ban on John Fury entering the arena for the time being.

I doubt Parker Dubois will happen until later this year as Dubois pulled out late on Thursday with illness and Parker demolished replacement Bakole in 2 rounds last night. Usyk has said he would want to face Dubois in a re - match, but a lot depends on how long Dubois will take for recovery - and Usyk has also said he only wants two more fights.
If the belts are split up again after Usyk retires & Dubois is still IBF champion - I'd say it's probably more likely that we may get Parker - AJ for one of them before end of year. Then that would that ensure Parker - Dubois happens with two titles possibly at stake.
Zhang was stopped for first tiime in his career, was KO'd in 6th by Khabayel of Germany & Bivol beat Berbetiev to become Undisputed LHW champion which probably already has become a contender for Fight of the year.

Daniel Dubois will try his luck against the seemingly indestructible Usyk for the unified belts on 19th July at Wembley Stadium.

I def would want to to see Daniel win that, but something tells me Usyk will likely pull out the stops to be that much sharper than Daniel.

Respect to both Connor Benn & Chris Eubank Jr for a fantastic fight on Saturday night, even if I heard it on the radio. boxing was the real winner and I felt it was a lot closer than the scorecards suggested - but def a true contender for fight of the year. I feel the only only way forward for a rematch would be to have it as a co main event on AJ Vs Fury's fight (if they can get AJ & Tyson's heads together and agree
something) and with either Connor or Chris putting a title of some kind on the line.

Hard to see anyone beating Usyk at any realistic weight to be honest. Too quick, too agile, too able to avoid the punch and too dynamic.

I agree but i'm sure Daniel caught him with one but Usyk made a meal of it didn't he ?

Sad news that Georgia O'Connor has lost her battle to cancer at the Age Of 25.

I didn't even know she was ill.

RIP Georgia O'Connor.
