    Sport washing at it finest. All these fighters greasing round the Saudi Royals knowing full well if their wives were there, there is a chance they get beheaded.

    Make or break time for Hrgovic. He cannot absolutely have a mild performance against an anemic old man who suffers from kidney failure. This is his fight to lose.

    E-Hearn talking about Smith vs Beterbiev after Beterbiev vs Yarde. Bivol vs Zurdo, then Buatsi, then the rematch with Clenelo. When everyone wants to see Beterbiev vs Bivol

    It is....theyre just throwing money away those Saudis. They could have easily filled a stadium in the UK for this rematch.

    Apparently they are saying Beterbiev is out until next year so he must have an injury unless he is afraid Yarde’s Uncle Tunde’s System 9 lol. Sorry I could not resist that made me laugh.

    It's not a concern, it's just a fact. If he was a Buddhist it would be the same thing.

    Beterbiev smokes everyone until Father Time really catches up to him.

    He had leg surgery in the summer so I doubt he could train at 100% so being less than prepared even against someone like Yarde is not ideal.

    I hope Beterbiev's progress is not slowed down. 2023 needs to be a big year for him otherwise he'll get forced into a WBO and WBC mandatory and the unification against Bivol gets pushed to 2024......

    Sports organizations should stop catering to countries with human rights violations lists a mile long.

    For 50th time, he is injured and it's out until 2023. Injury is undisclosed.

    The Saudis outbid everyone so they could host it in an empty carpark if they wanted to.

    Thought with the conspiracy theories being aired tonight that it was felt the Saudis will rig it for him.

    Filip really needs to be applauded for learning English this well, even though he's been fighting in the US roughly a decade less than Canelo Alvarez, who can barely string a sentence in English together.

    Got tagged a lot too. Against Bivol or Beterbiev that is a disaster.
