    Disclaimer - Pure speculation

    So I was with one of my investors last night in Abu Dhabi, the talk got to boxing and the Saudi involvement in it’s resurgence.

    He was adamant and claimed he had it on good authority that AJ is serving a silent ban. He also said AJ will not fight until September unless it’s an exhibition fight against Wilder.

    Pure speculation but thought I’d put it out there to see if anyone else had heard the same

    I think this has come from people not understanding the ban the bbbc put on a boxer after a vicious ko. He got 28 days.

    The talk is still a stadium superfight in the uk in summer hopefully tyson fury (supposedly April is the cut off) if not it will be whyte or parker. Aj was telling everybody he'd like another fight with both.

    According to hearn there's a few on silent bans despite him saying they weren't a thing when benn was out.

    If he tested positive after the Dubios fight he needs to find a better dealer

    would you prefer “I was talking to a lad in the battle cruiser? Or “my mate on the assembly line” ?

    Some people are offended by the oddest things, still had time to reply lol.

    AJ is done, his punch resistance has gone and he’s taking his time to get the biggest retirement payday. Probably fury or wilder but in the end it will most likely be whyte rematch

    There are numerous examples of boxers serving a silent ban. I know of at least 20 examples of boxers in the U.K. who have all tested positive within the last 5 years. It just never came to the public's attention.

    One of my very first tasks was a big Don King show at the beginning of the 90s and on the main card, which consisted of 3 fights, 5 out of 6 boxers tested positive. The samples were thrown away and nothing happened.

    Makes you what the point of testing is.

    Sadly boxing will remain a fringe / minority sport until people believe that these issues are dealt with correctly

    The post would be removed for libel anyway so what's the issue

    Astro is a good poster and doesn't brag about having some insider knowledge

    Isn't the entire board littered with libellous messages?
