    If he is baddest man on the planet like he says he is then the fight should be in cage with atleast kickboxing rules to make it competitive.

    Yep. MMA rules dont ban any of Furys skillset, he is free to prove himself using all of his tools totally uncompromised and with smaller gloves and no counts on top of that. Boxing rules ban like 80% of the MMA guys skillset so how can it prove anything?

    It's not listed by boxrec. I know it's not a title defense, but is this even sanctioned by a boxing body, or is it an exhibition?

    Thanks.

    It's now listed on Boxrec. I noticed this aligned with a lot of adverts for Fury v Ngannou appearing on their site. So, make of that what you will...

    Also it is now "sanctioned" by the BBBoC. The same BBBoC who owe their continued existence to a loan provided by Frank Warren back in the day. So, make of that what you will, too...

    It's not rigged. Fury ought to be able to beat a debut boxer, surely?

    The fight's as real as a bouncer beating up a pimply 17 year old trying to sneak into a bar.

    The average Klitschko era title defence then!

    Klitschko made them all look like kiddies, that is true.

    I’d assume it’s an exhibition. It a pointless spectacle regardless, but whilst fans pay - these events will continue to happen. At least Floyd did events like this once he’s career was over.

    Anderson, one of, if not, the biggest MMA talent ever who has previous boxing experience beat a degenerate pot head who's best performances were 25 lbs below Anderson.

    KSI been boxing 5 years, can pay for elite training/nutrition and Tommy is a bum.

    Deji the same as KSI, and Floyd is an old ass small man.


    Fury stopped Wilder and Whyte.
