    Femi is a scumbag. He wouldn't dare do that with Wilder or Fury, he's doing it purely because he knows he's winning this and easily.

    I hope all those DAZN UK subscribers tuned into the Saudi Football last night live on DAZN UK instead of the substandard English Premier League match Burnley v Man City. Firminio scored a hattrick but only flicked across now and again.

    I could be in the very few club who even bothered to have a glimpse.

    There is simply no other option than to retire should he do the nearly impossible and somehow manage to lose to Helenius tonight.

    AJ was never carrying on like that with Whyte

    Whyte would have gone for him

    When Joshua gets what should be a routine 2 / 3 round KO tonight can you imagine how unbearable Bellew is going to be

    Someone has posted on one of the socials an updated seat map.....its even worse than the one posted a couple of days ago, apparently about 7000 empty seats now. I expected a drop of in interest as Whyte was a decent name for casuals but thought most would stick it out as its a Heavyweight card. About a third empty is shocking. When asked on boxing social the other day Hearn said 'only a few hundred' had been refunded and Bosh was going to take all those.......does he not realise people can see this all easily.

    Nobody's ever done that to Helenius. Anthony carries serious, serious power

    Crazy how AJ gets stick for being nice then being angry? It’s two men fighting each other do you want them to hug and share a meal before the fight?

    Pent up rage and testosterone ready for the fight, he’s been training with malice and feels disrespected by the fans and media.

    You ever see Mike Tyson hugging opponents before a fight? It’ll subside after the fight.

    Didn't even know it was on! Could be a good move if they have a cheap long term deal and the Saudis keep bringing in big players won't be bothering with it myself

    No surprise you thinking it’s tense you complete dweeb, you probably get tense when you can’t get the straw in your carton of Ribena.

    This is why it's so disappointing that Whyte failed his test.

    I believe Joshua is there for the taking and will crumble as soon as someone put's it on him, the biggest bullies are almost always the biggest cowards. Teddy Atlas used to always say that Tyson was 0-5 in his boxing career, discounting the last loss to McBride.

    Helenius is unlikely to be the man to do that, but hopefully he goes out in the first round with a do or die attitude and either tries for the knock out or get knocked out himself.

    Brutal? Hardly, he spent most of last year underground in Kiev protecting his family and friends from missiles and bombs ffs.

    Compared to that I think 3 back to back training camps sounds like a long stay at the Four Seasons.

    It’s very odd behaviour. They were having a stare down which is a staple part of the weigh in. It’s par for the course.

    He seems very insecure.
