And on this, Ben Whittaker just comes across as a playground bully trying to belittle Andy Clarke because ultimately he isn't happy with his opinion. Clarke a gentleman and one of the best in the business

Terry O'Connor should be stripped of his licence and never be allowed to officiate/judge a boxing contest again. A despicable card by him and he again proves the UK is by far the worst place in the world to come and get a decision as an away fighter

An absolute disgrace. John Ryder, written off by many two years ago after a loss at British level, bounces back and goes on to outclass the number one ranked super-middleweight in the world in his own backyard only to be robbed. Boxing stinks
#SmithRyder
Bellew saying judges can't just score fighters walking forward and putting pressure on yet he had Chisora beating Usyk, the narrative always suits when you want it too

The complete disregard for the VADA test is bizarre. Hearn a big believer in VADA, MR use regularly. Insisted Jean Pascal enrolled for the Buatsi fight and given he apparently wouldn't, that fight is off. Benn returns a VADA positive & now Hearn wants to ignore it!
#EubankJrBenn
Tonight has been a long time coming for Dillian Whyte. Life and death with Chisora, twice, dropped heavy off Rivas and Parker and poor against Wach. Best performance in recent memory was against an out of shape Lucas Browne, one step too far against Povetkin
#WhytePovetkin
Conor Benn talking about domestic dance partners for Felix Cash and references Liam Smith and Chris Eubank Jr. Yet, when it comes to him fighting a domestic opponent, he and his team completely dismiss it!

Did Beterbiev cheat? No. Is there any evidence of cheating? No. Did he fail any tests? No.
Stop with the nonsense and this cheating agenda, Beterbiev outboxed and outclassed Callum Smith and did it at an absolute canter

Did Beterbiev cheat? 💉 it’s very very suspect the high levels of HGH AND TESTERONE at the age of 39 especially? But we will NEVER KNOW 🥊 roll on beterbiev V Bivol 🔥
Has Adam Smith lost the plot by the way? Saying he can't wait for the upcoming netball match between Celtic Dragons and Surrey🤣🤣🤣🤣

Big news surrounding

Trash decision, had it 7-3 for Mikaela Mayer. 6-4 if you're being harsh. Pretty much took over from round four onwards, deserves a rematch. Should be the the winner and champion

Utter joke and an embarrassment. Frankie Gavin gifted an opportunity to challenge for the European title and can't even be bothered to make weight

Used to think Britain had some of the best officials in the business but that opinion has long gone. Week in, week out, we see horrendous refereeing and dreadful scorecards but nothing ever changes. BBBofC aren't fit for purpose

If you're Joe Hughes, why bother? For me, he won the fight by four rounds. Close cards, fine, I get that. But 118-110 in favour of Davies Jr, get lost, an utter disgrace

Three appalling cards turned in but special credit must go to Michael Alexander who somehow scored it 114-112 despite Parker knocking Chisora down three times 🤣

Following the agreement between Daniel Dubois and Joe Joyce to fight in July, I'm told Joyce has also signed a promotional agreement with

A complete non-starter but Hearn knows exactly what he's doing. Minutes after putting this out, hundreds replied saying how it should happen, Whyte deserves a chance, Fury is scared. Job done.

Oustanding from David Avanesyan, absolutely buzzing for him and my mate

@Keir_Starmer
Bore off, Keir. When it comes to making decisions, you insist your party abstains. Plus, you called for tougher restrictions, now you've got them.
Interesting, hearing talks are underway for a fight between Rocky Fielding and James DeGale. Date in November at the ECHO Arena proposed. One to keep an eye on.
#boxing
Commentary a joke again. It really does pain Sky to praise an away fighter. Sugden lands clean yet it's the chin of Richards that is praised
#RichardsSugden

Quite frankly bizarre, I'm told Billy Joe Saunders and Devin Haney will be in supporting fights on the undercard of KSI vs. Logan Paul 2 which will be on Sky Sports
#Boxing
Broadcasters, promoters & money have ruined boxing.
Gone are the days of have gloves, will travel and the best fighting the best.
Now it's all about egos, insults via YouTube & huge purses for average opposition.
Boxing isn't what it was and is only getting worse by the day.
Liam Smith vs. Magomed Kurbanov expected to land on Fite TV. Eddie Hearn initially secured the UK rights for DAZN and then requested the fight moves from May 8 to May 7 to avoid a clash with Canelo. Promoter agreed, moved the fight only for Hearn to withdraw from the deal
#boxing
Trust Saturday's show is sold out at 20k then. And, was Algieri also sold out? And Formella? And Granados? And Vargas? Always goes along with the narrative that suits.
CONTROVERSY!

❌Update on Chisora. I just spoke to Derek who told me that the situation regarding the ring walk is NOT yet resolved. He stated that David Haye is currently speaking to David Higgins in an attempt to resolve the situation
Porky's latest billboards in Manchester. The first advertising a three fight show headlined by Micky Theo and John Fury, the second calling out Hobson to come on the channel 🤣🐖🐷
Both the punditry and commentary has been on another level tonight, latest statements include 'I believe Bellew can outbox Usyk' and 'Bellew can knock Usyk out'

Story of weekend has to go to

. Badly messed around in 2018 by Josh Kelly and his team. Takes an opportunity on the road to fight the dangerous Kerman Lejarraga, knocks him out and now EBU welterweight champion. Quality stuff

@neilmarsh3
The Boxing Social interview with Dave Allen is a must watch. I've openly criticised Allen but credit where it is due, he spoke openly and honestly about Joshua regardless of his connections to Matchroom. Excellent stuff.
Just watched back Wilder-Fury with ... Wilder. Watching for the first time, Wilder admitted it was a tough fight to score ... but that he only gave Fury two rounds. Eager, he says, for a rematch.
Shannon not telling the full story. Fight was initially contracted at 8st 10lb, she couldn't get anywhere near the weight so asked for it at 9st 1lb! Weight is clearly an issue

@EddieHearn
@boxingscene
Of course, Edward. If only the same process was followed for Dillian Whyte. Only, in this instance, his 'negative' tests were taken into account and outweighed the 'positive' test thus exploiting a loop hole and allowing him to fight.
I don't buy this 'opportunity' talk at all. Ruiz was brought in at short notice and ensure Joshua's US debut still went ahead after the Miller fiasco. Ultimately picked because in reality, they never thought he'd win and cause the problems he did.
Nobody should ever question the selling power of Tyson Fury again. It's absolutely baltic, early December and he's sold 60k tickets against Derek Chisora who he's beaten twice already. Stadium looks unreal as well

Sebastian Formella is indeed out of Saturday's fight with Conor Benn after a member of the German's camp tested positive for coronavirus. Massive blow in what was a very good fight. Replacement being finalised

Makes sense, no need to commit to any dates in his first statement back. Encourage people to continue to follow the rules with more positive news re: easing of the lockdown, this week.
