    Well we have the GAD and Adam Smith working as journalists in the sport, both came to mind when I saw you mention the N word.

    Did one of these fine upstanding men have their laptop confiscated, and there was a whole load of stuff on them that should not be which they of course did not know was there?

    In the least surprising news of the day, Benn being added to the Fury card has barely added any ticket sales.

    I thought they were all trolling to be fair, engagement farming or what ever they call it.

    Makes sense - the ex copper behind BKM needs all the clicks he can get after botting his viewership.

    After the amount of noise he's made about this, if it turns out to be something like 'Usyk signs with Zuffa' I think I'll stay well clear of BKM.

    Tending to agree. They are advertising this as something utterly jaw-dropping - something like Zuffa buying Top Rank, W Klitschko coming out of retirement to face Usyk, or the Saudis buying Sky Sports. Anything less than this will be worthy of a social media unsubscribe / block.

    I trust @Astro when he said some big news is on it's way, although he hasn't been as dramatic as BKM who has been calling it the biggest news ever all this week though, different stories maybe?

    If something Zuffa related is to be released, I wouldn't be surprised if it's this Friday evening a bit like the Conor news released last week. I reckon we will get Usyk saying he's signed a Zuffa deal. I doubt there's much more news to come out.

    The word on the street is Frank and Turki want to settle this before it gets too messy. Only delay is a dispute over the location. Turki has suggested a meet up at the Saudi embassy, but Frank thinks a local pig farm would be better.

    Thanks !

    Tyson Fury and Usyk have both signed with Zuffa Boxing.

    Zuffa Boxing has signed a multi-year deal with Sky Sports.

    What is coming is much bigger than this ! I suspect Eddie Hearn will get a heart attack :)
