    Pre-comeback was a big fan. Actually pre-Wilder 2 I'd say. Since then he's just become insufferable. Everything he used to slate Joshua for he now does himself and worse.

    Yeah I do like the boxer a lot, but he is all over the place outside of the ring with the garbage that comes out of his mouth.

    Just don't listen to him. I put Fury above Hearn in the pointless interview rankings. Not a chance I'm wasting my time.

    I think you just have to take him for what he is - hugely inconsistent and contradictory.

    I believe at his core he’s a good man though, I can’t say I get the same gut feeling about Joshua.

    Usyk gets off the floor (takes a knee after a body shot) to stop Joshua late in what will be a bit of a classic.

    I watched the first fight again recently and it really wasn't close at all. Joshua was comprehensively beaten all hands down. So other than a shocking robbery I just don't see what he can do or change to stand any chance of winning. Even when he landed a good shot Usyk never flinched and there was only one man in there who was feeling the others power.

    There will be no women on the undercard, so that's a start.

    I’m excited for the rematch. I don’t think it’s as clear cut as the first fight, where AJ had a horrific game plan, I think he goes in there to try and use his weight and knock out Usyk. It’s the only way he wins realistically so he might as well spend his camp working on cutting the ring off and trapping him against the ropes / in the corner.

    This rematch is as pointless as the Haney -
    Kambosos one, both losers were comprehensively outboxed.
    In Joshua’s case, he was reeling at the final bell. It just gums up progress in the heavyweights, the most inactive weight division in boxing.

    Disagree with this. For sure Usyk snapped AJ’s head back often and rocked him on a couple of occasions. Having rewatched some highlights recently between rounds 4-7 IIRC AJ landed some solid rights to head and body that Usyk didn’t like, but they were never followed up on…
