    Google Hysa's 2019 arrest on a list of charges, including match fixing.

    Both are bums dude. You won't get much of an argument from me. There hasn't been an Albanian HW who wasn't a fraud since Luan Krasniqi who was pretty solid.

    Gjergjaj, Hysa and Prenga all follow the same blueprint.

    Neither Fury or Joshua will be fighting anybody that poses even the slightest of tests which could possibly jeopardise there own fight,there is far too much money involved in there fight to risk it not happening ! No Manager or Promoter is ever going to allow that to happen !

    Gangsters very often are.

    Anyone with a modicum of common sense (which clearly isn't that common) could tell that his record was fake and likely criminal before seeing those articles.

    If that's true, it is as ridiculous as Joshua's fight. The worst thing is, Joshua and Fury will get payed well. For two mediocre sparring matches, basically.

    Noone should be in those arenas, unless they get their tickets as a gift. And noone should pay to watch that bs.

    Way better fights are made between fighters that get payed like 10k or less. It's such a shame. All entertainment business.

    Lol Fury is a joke now.
    I'm hoping Joshua knocks him in to retirement tbh.

    Apart from the fact that both guys don't want to risk that fight being jeopardised (and it's not a good look for either of them)... I've no doubt in my mind that Fury chose Hysa specifically just so he can gob off about AJ "not even fighting the best Albanian HW", he's so predictable that guy. :lol: Been unhealthily obsessed with AJ for years for some reason, despite avoiding him at all costs. I remember when he was facing off with Chisora ahead of their 3rd fight, and all he was doing was going on about AJ... Chisora pretty much said the same thing I'm saying haha. I've no doubt watching AJ demolish Wallin and Ngannou back-to-back still bugs the hell out of him too, after he went life and death with the pair of them.

    The UK and Albania are the two current powerhouses of HW boxing.

    As someone already said- the point of these two matches is not to prove anything but to prep for their match afterwards. This is logical and makes sense. These are old men now. They are not going to go into a war to prepare for their fight. That would be stupid

    Exactly.
    These fights are tuneups and essentially a marketing tool for their own matchup. I dont mind this one bit, if they do fight each other afterwards. I want both to carry some momentum into the fight, and to be sharp.
    Also, both men scoring KO´s would generate quite a bit of buzz.
