    I suppose a casual like that might not know Joshua is referred to as 'AJ'.

    Plus some people have bad memories.

    The British public is in general thick and / or ignorant as ****, so no surprises with the above…

    Must be struggling to shift tickets.

    a mate of mine who was in Saudi on holiday (hasn’t travelled for the fight) brought £80 tickets. He has received an email today giving him a free upgrade to what would be £300 tickets.

    Every pub in my small town seems to have it on, lots casuals talking abar it (though many seem to have no clue who usyk is). Not a statistical study but just my observation

    Weigh in before both virtually weigh the same. Sky team making out Joshua 4lbs heavier was significant but insignificant for men that big. He’s big enough anyway to damage, just don’t think he will. After a better showing early on gasses downbthe stretch

    Regarding Usyk I've the same experience. Very few people know who Usyk is, I'm a bit shocked by that.

    Nobody has mentioned it anywhere.

    I need to find somewhere to watch it actually. If anywhere can be ****ed to show it.

    The weigh in looked really empty on a couple shots I saw.

    Saudi is grim. I did all of those places from Oman, Saudi and Dubai with carilion and could not wait for the job to be done.
