    By the way : For the past six months we have regularly listened to Eddie Hearn saying that all heavyweights wants to face AJ but there is nothing concrete ? Why ?

    Well there are rumours he can't come back to the UK and also there was surgery apparently

    Certainly curious how he seems to have disappeared off the radar a bit, the old TV appearances have certainly dried up a bit

    Can’t remember, has he been ringside near Big Turki at any of the recent Riyadh shows even?

    Seems like he might be taking a big ol’ bite of humble pie at the moment.

    The Humble One has effectively retired himself and will simply only be back for big loot against Fury, Whyte or Chisora unless a vacant belt opportunity appears with a Kubrat Pulev type in the other corner.

    A decent non elite British Heavyweight up there with Herbert Hide.

    Fury was a level above but he was still a level below Lennox Lewis in my opinion.

    What happened to the "big african showdown" Eddie Hearn talked about a while ago ?

    What would the possible reasons be that he can't come back to the UK? Tax reasons?

    Red face after his last fight at Wembley when he was obliterated.
