If you can’t get excited about the Usyk v Gassiev fight this Saturday, then Boxing is just not your sport.

I don’t watch or follow the sport. But I’ll watch this fella whenever he fights. What a guy

I’ve just heard that Dereck Chisora’s Mum has stepped in and had a word with Canelo and Billy. The fight will now go ahead in a 19.25ft ring.

It’s 4 weeks until arguably Britain’s best fighter Josh Taylor looks to unify his division, yet still no UK broadcaster announced.
It’s not only a huge fight for British Boxing but it also has all the ingredients to be a War.

I don’t think we found out anything new about Beterbiev, but we did about Anthony Yarde. There can be no argument now, that he is most definitely World class. Fantastic fight.

We often talk about fairytale stories of boxers. But what about Enzo Calzaghe, a vision, a belief, a lot of dedication and a little bit of crazy, made him into one of the most successful trainers this country has seen.
Not a bad legacy to leave behind R.I.P mate.

Tunde gets a lot stick, and sometimes brings it on himself. But if Anthony was my son, I would have been so thankful that Tunde was there to do what he did. The end of the fight had already started and he saved his fighter for another day.

After hearing the sad news of the passing of Nicky Booth. It made me think about how hard it is once you retire.

I think that the Reason why people have taken to Conor Benn, is because he speaks his mind. A lot of Boxers (not all) Talk in Cliches and/or recite motivational quotes. So to hear someone, That say what they think and feel, is a refreshing change.

Before certain people start trolling Ritson, remember he has no part to play in the decision made. It seems a clear win for Vasquez, but the fighters don’t judge the fights ‘Remember that’

Truth is,
Sky thought they had hired Barry McGuigan, once they found out I was an imposter, security had surrounded the stage and I had to do a runner before I was caught. It wasn’t the first time I’ve tried this, hence the calmness in my exit.
This is why
@BarryJonesBox

There are a lot of things said about Anthony Joshua. But he’s a big enough star to do whatever he wants regarding promotion, the fact that he’s stayed with the same team from day one, also says a lot about him as a man.

Usyk again was just brilliant on Saturday night. I also thought Joshua boxed really well, he probably should have used the double jab to close the distance, but ultimately he was just beat by a better boxer and there is no shame in that.

Reflecting on Saturday night and I don’t feel sorry for Carl Frampton. He chased his dream and caught it. Then he when out chasing another dream, just like we all wish we had the courage to. He had a Stella career that most of us could only dream about. What a fighter!

And we all moan about the you tubers making a mockery of the sport. 🤷🏼
Chew on this: David Benavidez tested positive for cocaine, a recreational drug, and was stripped of his title by the WBC. He wasn’t even training for a fight. Yet Oscar Valdez tests positive for a performance-enhancing drug while training and is allowed to fight. Got that?
