    When he is saying he has the best heavyweight , baddest man on the planet etc does he forget Usyk beat AJ twice? I am a AJ fan and I know Eddie has to promote AJ but he is doing him no favours.

    He is talking about Fury v Usyk like it is formality and ignoring the fact there is a rematch clause.

    Cus he's a salesman mate and thats what they do talk shiiiite.

    Think the fact they are dismissing usyk is pretty disrespectful.

    It's by no means a foregone conclusion.

    Yep said this last night however he's trying his hardest to goad and ensure Fury doesn't avoid AJ if he does beat Usyk.

    For Hearn and Matchroom, that's mega cash in the bank for them and he's disgustingly desperate for it.

    I know Hearn loves to tell lies but by constantly telling everyone Joshua is the best heavyweight in the world he’s trying to convince people Usyk doesn’t exist :lol:

    It's no worse than fury claiming he is. Infact at least AJ has the best resume to back it up.

    Everyone knows usyk is the man to beat but he doesn't have the platform either of these have.

    It’s 100% worse because he has lost to said opponent twice in the 2 fights that he has had with him, whereas Fury has never boxed Usyk. Are you feeling ok?

    It was all a bit embarrassing at the end. Even AJ couldn’t celebrate beating, at best, a white collar boxer. I actually thought it was really dangerous a hard hitting boxer fighting someone with zero defence.
    Anyway it’s Fury AJ next regardless what happens in the Fury Usyk fight. That’s what the Saudis want and all they really care about!

    It looked like Eddie was going to shoot in his pants last night.
    AJ put on a good show but that is what should be expected from a former world champion against a complete novice.

    I'm not an AJ fan but glad he sparked Ngannou out to restore some boxing credibility after the farce with Fury.

    The way Hearn was after the fight was astonishing even by his standards. It's like his mind had been wiped of the 2 Usyk defeats.

    It was funny Fury being ringside though- bet he wanted to be anywhere else when he saw how a proper boxer should dispatch a complete novice to the sport

    No way is Usyk getting a fair go on the scorecards come May. These boys running things ALL want Fury v AJ as the grand finale.

    I just accept it for what it is, promotion.

    AJ looked great, the narrative was that Ngannou had a chance and was dangerous. A lot of people bought in to it as Ngannou nearly beat Fury and AJ has this new found confidence that he had missing during the two Usyk fights so naturally people are not reassessing their opinions on any future fights.

    Usyk is the man and until the outcome of the undisputed fight is clear, Fury is atleast no2 and AJ is no 3.

    This lad Joshua looks the greatest Heavyweight ever to lace up a pair of boxing gloves and no idea how any man can defeat him.

    Hilarious how they’re trying to make out that Joshua now suddenly beats Usyk because of Ben Davison :lol: I like Ben but Joshua had a world class trainer for the last fight with Usyk and couldn’t do anything. Do we just keep letting Joshua change trainers until he beats Usyk?

    IFL asking if Joshua/Davison is the best fighter/training partnership in the world. Have a day off ffs. He’s beat a B level heavyweight and a MMA fighter with him.

    The fact Hearn says 'please Fury beat Usyk' speaks volumes

    He’s his only money maker mate. He knows AJ could be the last of his big bucks so he’s clinging on with him.
