    He was like a runner and bit part presenter on BoxNation years ago, so I assume he hung in with the Warrens and got a loyalty spot. Why he fronts things for them now is beyond me as his delivery is awful.

    Dev is massively out of his comfort zone and you can see some of the fighters are getting pissed off with his terrible questions. He is good at stirring the pot sometimes though. I'm amazed how much he got under AJ's skin to the point where he has told the production he's not taking part unless Eddie is asking him questions and virtually blanking him at the post workout interview's. AJ should have handled this a lot better.

    AJ is a mental midget when he’s in the same time zone as Wilder.

    Have there been any announcements for scheduled ring walk times for the two main fights?

    Dev likes to create controversy, particularly on X (Twitter).

    I'm surprised AJ is main event. But then again, Wilder-Parker isn't a huge draw for casuals so I guess it makes sense.

    No official announcement but the DAZN website says the main event ring walks are at 11.45 UK time. Presume that’s for Joshua v Wallin? But it’s Saudi, think you can add at least 30 mins-1 hour on top of that once they finally get done with all the faff.

    Dubois has really come out of his shell and almost now looks like he actually enjoys the media lol

    The "daddy" line at the press conference was ****ing gold.... he must have been practicing that in the mirror all week. Love it ! hahahaha

    Haha yeah he was fed that line but good to see him with a big smile on his face. He actually looked relatively comfortable for once

    AJ is being soft blanking him but Dev is an annoying ****er. How has he even managed to get this gig?

    His voice doesn't sound naural- it's like he's imitating an 80s compère from local club

    that's ridiculous, even more so when they’re 3 hours ahead. Was hoping for 9pm main event ring walk.
