    It's just modern culture mate. Another family built a cross-generational, multi-billion dollar empire off the back of a sex tape, redefined beauty standards for women and turned lifestyle into one endless status game, with what must be getting on for a seventh of the world's population following them online. Looking artificial and being fake is somehow now the ideal.

    Don't be surprised if Bosh Snr gets a BAFTA for reciting the menu at the Blue Orchid. It's beyond parody at this point.

    Based on what exactly, his amazing form recently or the fact that he can't avoid being knocked out by uppercuts for his entire career?

    Probably because Fisher isn't very good and if Dave Allan can have you planted face down on the Canvas Whyte has a chance even now of landing a big punch.

    Fisher SNR is now a left wing media darling as he is pro immigration etc so all the major companies love him as he pumps the narrative, he will be around for quite a while longer, he is perfect for them as the "typical white working class man etc" that fits their views they want people to have

    Thanks.

    I´m a member of a group for relatives of people with cancer and it helps a lot to talk to other people who are in the same situation.

    By the way : Dana White is in the process of reducing Eddie Hearn to a small hall promoter.

    Johnny Fisher has announced he is a promotional free agent after leaving Matchroom. He’s a good lad, and I can see him making a fortune somewhere like Misfits.

    Funny how times change. When Kevin Mitchell turned over and signed with Warren, Sims refused to train him because he hadn’t signed with Matchroom. Now he’s training both Conor and Bosh Jr.

    Problem with Johnny is the Babic win was treated like his floor, especially by Eddie, who was talking like he was the best prospect in the sport ahead of Clarke and Wardley. Dave Allen pretty much proved twice that Babic was his ceiling.

    Good luck to the lad, and he’ll always shift tickets, but I hope he does a deal with Misfits rather than Zuffa or Warren. Even Matchroom would probably protect him better. Unless he’s spent the last year locked in a gym on the “protein” and comes back a totally different fighter, he feels like he’s heading down the Price route.

    Based on the fact that Fisher is barely area level. Nothing against the guy at all, he's juat not that good. I never thought highly of Whyte either, but if I'm backing him in a fight, that really does say something about the guy he's facing.

    Well I can't see anybody else investing in him like Hearn did.

    Whyte is now barely area level.

    Everything special about Whyte came out of a bottle and since popped again in 2023, he can't risk cycling right now. Dillian has also been knocked out by the same punch in every single one of his losses. He's broke, fat and on the wrong side of thirty, coming off a loss where was obliterated by Itauma in a round.

    Now, if someone could teach Fisher how to throw a proper uppercut...
