    Stadium fights are terrible.

    MSG is a special place. I had goosebumps when I first walked in.

    Love the avatar mate.

    To answer the question, no, couldn't care less now. It's no different to Kell Brook v Amir Khan.

    Yea. Hearn is making out the fight won’t happen if it’s not in the U.K. I don’t believe a word he says. He will have know this fight is at MSG for months. He’ll do what daddy Turki tells him to.

    It is a bit of a **** take that it’s in America tho. Not only have we had to wait 10 years for it to happen, now we have to stay up until 4AM as well. It will be a highlights job for me in the morning, getting too old to be up at them hours.

    My guess is EH put the UK clause into AJs contract to try to make sure Zuffa were not involved.
    Now that it’s evident it happening in US he’s playing hardball so that he and AJ get another bag of money for the change.

    To quote the movie Snatch;

    Turkish - It’s not the same caravan

    Mickey - It’s not the same fight!

    You can change the "where" to "if" for me.

    I am so bored of both.

    The level of the fight is now so low. It could make actually very entertaining because of how shot both are.

    Agree with the point that if it was at Wembley the atmosphere would be incredible.

    A few years ago, yes, I would have tried to get tickets. Now as long as its finished before 11pm so it doesn't disrupt my sleep pattern, I couldn't care less. As another post alluded to, its Brook V Khan at heavyweight.

    And surprise surprise it looks like AJ vs Fury is off.

    Their warm ups weren’t really a warm up for a big fight against each other, it was just another chance for an easy one and a retirement fund payday.

    It’s a fight the casuals care about still, but one or both of them doesn’t want this fight

    Watch out for the Anthony Joshua Foundation, brought to you by Sela and Riyadh Season. Closely followed by the Matchroom Gym, Jeddah.

    Given what's happened with snooker there and the O'Sullivan Academy in Riyadh, would you be remotely surprised?

    Why anyone would go to this is beyond me. Both fighters are completely shot to pieces and not entertaining in the slightest.

    Not anymore. With Usyk's retirement, it is two eras back. Why not just book the Lewis-Bowe fight?

    Watching Hearn's latest IFL video, seems like turki is being extremely snakey, i hope this doesn't happen now and that Saudi and MR fall out and then the boxing in Saudi ends.
