    Fair play he’s in some shape.


    Moses within 4.

    Could not find ticket sales for this card and just noticed this fight takes place in Saudi Arabia.

    Automatically assumed this fight would be at Wembley Arena or O2 Arena.

    Not good for the fans who enjoy watching live boxing.

    They’ve sold about 30 tickets if you fancy the trip. 9 quid a pop.

    When he says they've killed off half of the arena.... Is he talking metaphorically?

    Crazy location for this domestic UK fight.

    This could have filled Wembley Arena.

    Doesn't look that much different considering that 1 pick has good lighting and he's flexing a bit.
    He was in good shape against Ebenezer too and was terrible, swinging and missing like a mad man

    I'm sure the fighters would have loved a significant pay cut to fight at Wembley arena !

    I understand your point but not good for British Boxing Fans who wish to attend live boxing events and the fighters would enjoy fighting more in front of a lively packed arena.

    From your inside knowledge of purses, what would they be roughly paid for a fight at Wembley Arena broadcast on Sky Sports Box Office and how much will they earn from the fight on Saturday on DAZN UK Box Office in an empty Saudi Arabia arena?

    Never judge a man's fitness when he's got clothes on. You and he both need to strip. Then you'll know what's up.

    Like comparing apples to oranges, the reason they are in Saudi is they are being paid silly money to do so, Turki doesn't have to worry about the figures needed to make the show work or actually make money. All other promoters are having to work within budgets to cover all costs

    Never judge a man’s fitness generally on the exterior tbh, because you can have all the big muscles in the world and gas after a round.

    But the point I was making is that even with clothes Whyte is clearly lighter which should in theory be conducive to his stamina over the distance. Whyte’s in better visual condition now than when he was in his prime. At the least it shows that he is likely training and eating better now.

    Also the promo pics where he is shirtless clearly show that he is in better nick. He has abs.

    If he is lighter imagine how far he can leap with his superman style punching style now!

    Is his fake brother fella still in the picture? Used to see him waffling on all the time
