MMA isn’t winning, it’s won!
🤩 UFC champions flying across the world to act as back up for title fights in case they get a legacy opportunity.
🤠 Boxing world champions defending belts against unranked opponents not fit for spars or entertaining unnecessary rematches!
🤷🏽♂️
Boxing: “Canelo can handpick a 3rd rate challenger for the vacate WBC title.”
UFC: “Let’s just drop a killer promo for our next title fight, where the middleweight champ will defend against the

contender...”
Boxing: “Where did everybody go?”

All before December! It’s gonna be an expensive end to 2022 for fight fans. 😵
I get asked a lot how to break into sports journalism and one key is learning from the best. Listen to how my brother handles this convo, encourages Paddy to open up, but shows real empathy to stop and enquire how he is. Adam is the best in the game! ❤️🎤
The semi-finals book themselves. Make Dustin vs Oliveira for the vacant belt, and let Chandler face Gaethje for

contender spot. That way

This is not why I love boxing. This is not sport and I’m not entertained. Chisora is receiving an unnecessarily prolonged beatdown that could have dramatic consequences on his quality of life. I usually marvel at Fury and his abilities. But I just want this to end.

How it started, back in June… and how it’s going, pic taken yesterday.
Daily H2O+, regular training and better meal choices. It’s not rocket science.
Ditched the scales, but -200lb and feeling great.
@FightDisciples
If the death of a 12-year-old girl doesn’t force every politician, councillor, copper and parent of a teenager to step up and take action then the world has truly gone to shit! Get a grip of these kids ruining lives with knives. Zero tolerance. Affirmative action.
#NoMoreKnives
Regardless if Citee do indeed win ole big ears, don’t start spouting shite about Pep being this and that.
He’s a career cheat, silver spoon manager and should never be mentioned in the same breath as Busby, Shankly, Stein, Paisley, Clough, Ferguson.
As a Kop season ticket holder I’m programmed to despise United players, something I’ve adhered to for 40+ years. But what

is doing right now is way bigger than football. Astounding young man with more empathy in a single boot than every c**t in Westminster! 👏🏽
Don’t paper over the cracks or make excuses for Fury, he fought a ten rounder against a boxing novice tonight and prob lost. Now you’re force feeding me the Usyk unification fight.

Here he is. AJ is back baby! That’s the best he’s looked in years. Aggressive, accurate, spiteful and dangerous.
Whatever he did tonight, replicate that next time… Ben Davidson should remain in that corner. Bring on Ngannou!!! 😳

If you could choose one to attend live, where would you be? 🤨
With neither Usyk or AJ available, here are 5 potential heavyweight opponents for Tyson Fury that appeal far more than Chisora III:
1. Joe Joyce
2. Andy Ruiz
3. Michael Hunter
4. Martin Bakole
5. Arslanbek Makhmudov

Big fan of Viddal Riley. Dude could have joined his boy KSI over on Misfits and made a fortune faux-fighting in front of teenagers.

I’m sorry. But that was horrific officiating. An early bell to save DDD after three knockdowns in round one. Then Lerena gets stopped on his feet after being saved by the bell. WTF was that!?! 😳

Happy 40th birthday to this fella. He may not have the best dress sense (wool, ain’t he) and, whatever you do, don’t get into a sauna with the horny bugger! But when it comes to making content in this game he’s the pound-for-pound champ!

The hate on Garcia is weird. Why jump straight in and pick holes, tweeting he’d get smashed by Tank, Haney or Teo? A 22-year-old kid just ran through a world class operator - and he climbed up off the floor to do it! Respect. Garcia is a superstar!

Note: if you pay Floyd Mayweather enough dough he’ll climb through the ropes to face anybody, anywhere. But if you put it on him and break the unwritten exhibition code then expect to get chinned! 😂

This is embarrassing. “I should have trained harder!” AJ took his loss like a champ in NYC, no excuses despite sone obvious issues. Ruiz gets schooled and cries about not being professional? Load of bollocks. 🤬

That was one of the greatest heavyweight fights in the history of boxing. What a trilogy. That was remarkable. Wilder is a warrior baby. But there can be only one king.

Okolie’s horrible style caught up with him tonight. Points off for holding all deserved and the knockdowns were all due to him being caught then tripping forward as he tried to hold more. Deserved victory for CBS and Shane McGuigan. And new!
