    I warmed to Wardley a bit after that.
    Doesn't seem as arrogant as I thought he was

    I think he said something that wasn't kissing his arse on social media

    Devs a slimy little character with a voice that deserves a slap not surprised AJ doesn't like him.

    My only criticism is that it’s too stacked as silly as that sounds. If you want to watch every fight you’re looking at maybe seven hours of straight boxing broadcast. Bit overkill IMO. I think in an ideal world they’d split the card over two nights. But I’m not complaining. I’ll personally be happy to sit down and watch it all while doing other things during the fights I’m not interested in.

    But yeah Saturday evening, the day after mad Friday and the day before Christmas Eve. I’m sure most will struggle to watch it all.

    They’ll have to schedule the fights well too to ensure that we don’t get too many snoozefests consecutively.

    Probabky some old Twitter comment he made putting AJ down and hyping Fury. I thought AJ was trying a bit too hard to sound angry at the press conference. If you’re really that fed up, take a run at Miller across the stage.

    100%. It'll be like watching the Superbowl, we'll need a decent half-time break.

    Enjoyed the press conference.

    Dev Sahni has a terrible voice for an MC. Fabio Wardley was great in his role as commentator and interviewer.

    Jai opetaia came across really well and I’m really happy for Lyndon Arthur to be getting a big payday even though I can’t see him even being competitive against Bivol.

    Joshua came across awkward and anxious, I don’t understand why with all his success, fame and money he still doesn’t come across as a big star? He doesn’t have that X factor about him.

    Wilder was top table, came across really well, seemed like the biggest star there by a country mile.

    Miller talks to much, Dubios is Dubios and Parker is always the gentlemen.

    Eddie Hearn seemed in good spirits even though Dev & Frank both tried to mention everyone apart from Matchroom on their openings. Frank is top tier as always, Solita and Shelly are Aliens.

    All in all I pretty stacked card with mostly one sided fights. No real 50/50’s

    PSA

    Joshua is not fighting Wilder next by what he just said. Once he beats Wallin he’s going to fight Hrgovic for the vacant IBF belt once it’s vacated

    Sheikh Al Chisora will be ringside and/or in the ring wearing full Arab Dress on the night.

    He is on pay per dress appearance money.

    Can't remember a thing he said. He's just a robot and when he's not been programmed the mask slips and he goes back to under-educated dealer mode. Miller drags it out of him and once that happened, he wasn't able to engage with anyone else. Refusing to answer Dev was just petty, hardly the polished media performer is he?

    Joshua SHAT it in the presence of Wilder, decided to pick on little Dev Sahni instead. Classic flat track bully move

    Agreed

    He said he wanted 3 fights this year and he’s a man of his word and keeps his promises and after he wants to become a champion again.

    Hrgovic stated that if Fury Usyk have a rematch he’ll fight the winner or AJ Wallin for the vacant belt too

    To win...

    AJ (TKO)
    Wilder (KO)
    Bivol (TKO)
    Opetaia (KO)
    Makhmudov (KO)
    Sanchez (KO)
    Hrgovic (KO)

    Dubois v Miller 50/50.

    Wilder v Parker is the fight of the night for me.

    This is what every ppv should be like all the time. This is actually worth paying for. I think people have just had their standards lowered so much in terms of ppv that when something like this comes along we didn’t even believe it was happening.
