Anthony Fowler is very defensive about this Dr Usman character, who's deleted his whole existence since this came out. Today alone, Fowler has argued with Sunny Edwards, Liam Smith, Derry Mathews and the journalist who broke the story. Fowler's claiming he 'knows the facts' because the doctor has told him then while Beefy quite rightly points out Fowler has just been lucky not to get tested as he must be full of the same stuff. Is there a boxer more deluded and downright stupid than Fowler?
It's going to be really interesting to watch this unfold. We have the mystery of who leaked the info to the daily mail and how such a leak would benefit them. We then have most of the public and onlookers stating that the fight should be scrapped. The board are open to been sued by Benn and Eubanks if they pull the fight based on samples taken from an authority that they don't recognise. Then if Dazn/MR pull the show they are open to been sued by Benn and Eubanks as the B sample is not opened yet. And Vada are only a collection agency who have no jurisdiction. We also have the point at where this fiasco will cause more harm than good if it went ahead this Saturday. I do love a good thriller.
Press conference is at 4 pm now. Even if Eddie waves his magic lawyers & cheque book at it, and this **** show goes ahead, what sort of state are the fighters going to be in, this has to be on their minds (maybe not Connor of course, he'll be tripping away)
Not quite. AJ's dazn deal is independent from the matchroom deal. The usuyk fight was owned by the Saudis with dazn going ahead with signing AJ irrespective mp if they won the rights or not.
Cannot wait for the presser. Just to see Conor Benn cowering now like a little girl, with all that attitude he's been showing in the last two years, it's all probably disappeared now. Eddie Hearn knows now his reputation has been damaged. His arrogance and his belittling of everyone around him over the years, has come back to bite him on the backside, in more than a few ways. You cannot go through life, treating people like they're nothing and not expect karma to come back around and sort you out.
Not before yesterday I considered them neck and neck in both delusion and general idiocy, Benn the clear leader now after this little debacle
Casuals have started talking about this at work. If this fight goes ahead, it will do big business. Sums up why boxing is rotten. God forbid anything happens to Eubank.
