    I wasn’t excited for this fight but now I’ve seen John Fury mouthing off and I’ve seen Dillian Whyte tweet about the fight I’ve got to say it’s really got the blood pumping.

    I can see why everyone was so upset with Whyte for not participating earlier. Today has been incredibly exciting.

    Does Fury's CV get an uplift for shagging Whyte during a sparring camp

    It was probably more of challenge than the Schwarz fight to be fair.

    I thought both came across pretty well to be fair.

    Lemar's a bit dodgy for taking another man's name but he held his own in the build up. The fury clan need big shane to lead from the front instead of joanne the bottlejob bum

    Holding his own against an old man.

    Impressive, that.

    Whyte when asked by dempsey why he didn't take part in promotion previously was answered very well by Whyte.

    If he had the flu he wouldn't be standing there. That said, he shouldn't really be spreading the cold either just now! Or whatever he's got...

    Suspect Frank and the fighters will be in "if I don't test, I'll never get Covid" mode this week

    I almost agree with you but I think the Sky Sports Boxing Team is solid. BT Sport's team is clearly number 1, followed by Sky Sports and Channel 5. On DAZN UK, the commentators only say what Eddie Hearn wants to hear and therefore it is difficult to take it seriously as a viewer.

    BT team seem a lot more impartial, there is a clear narrative with Sky pundits and sometimes it's not obvious either.

    Expect Dillian Whyte to sign a deal with Boxxer / Sky Sports after the Fury fight.

    Not even just boxing either. BT’s football coverage is much better than Sky’s.
