    Usyk doesn't have the time to do anything. He is already too old and past his prime for his style to do anything. He should have say it a day, after AJ 2 in my mind. :D

    Not when you're Irish. It's an anthem, basically.

    He’s gonna need to win decisively to get the nod. We know Irish fighters always get the short end of the stick.

    It's not scheduled for another 2 hours and I've never known them start early.

    Remember the Joshua fight? Didn't make the ring walk until about 2 am lol

    Which match ups would you like to see? I want to see Kabayel fighting Hrgovic-Dubois winner who will likely be Hrgovic.

    Joshua can rematch Parker

    It would be good for Mr. Turki to end most of the big events in Saudi and just put them in the US and UK after this year.

    Something really funny about a British fighter walking out to a fan favorite song expecting to hear the crowd sing along, and the Saudi crowd just watches.

    Anyone fancy Cacace to win this? Or is it a straight up Cordina fight

    IT means a lot to your resume and proving you are the best. Just beating 2 or 3 guys out of so many good boxers doesn't prove anything.
    And Usyk essentially have AJ, Dubois and Fury eventually.

    Joshua faced his peers. He was fighting top 10 guys back to back to back for a good few years.

    We just need to accept facts. The American circuit was always bobbins, and completely overhyped while their best Deontay was avoiding the best of the Rest of the World, as we are seeing now.

    For some reason they even refused to actively match the one fighter with a great win over Joshua and a solid performance against Park, ie. Ruiz Jr.

    If Fury doesn't put in a good performance as the face of the American (WBC) circuit then the whole house of cards will have collapsed
