    Take this with a grain of salt, but... let's hope it's true.

    I heard from one source that Wlad or Vitali killed 6 people. I highly doubt that they are anywhere near the frontline.

    But yeah you are right, both western and Russian propaganda are in overdrive right now.

    They maybe a lot of things but its quite clear who the aggressor is here. Casualties could be higher but we know Russia confirmed losing at least 10k soldiers.

    10k in 1 month is ridiculous and screams of a highly incompetent army.

    As much as I like the idea of Usyk fighting again, I can't help but think he will be preoccupied. This isn't a good circumstance to come back and fight. At least it might help keep his mind off the war and he can help with family with money.

    Great news,
    now if he can sit Loma down & convince him to fight & donate his purse for The War in Ukraine relief fund (Ammo & rations)

    They are both way too skilled they can better help the war efforts in this manner then picking up a rifle.

    his heart is in the tight place, but he can do more for his country by using his skills in the ring as opposed to being another man with a gun.

    If they do this, then they have to be sure they are not going to be jacked up for taxes like Joe Louis. Not sure how it works in Ukraine, or, sadly, if there will even be a Ukraine. But they have to check the boxes to makes sure they don't end up in debt.

    lol excuses already being made. Another thing for people who hate Joshua to use against him.

    If he beats Usyk - It's cos of the war.

    If he beats Fury - Fury was past his prime.

    Just lol at all of you.

    If Usyk really wasn't in fit state to fight Joshua he would not do it. Usyk is not an idiot. Just because Usyk has been in Ukraine doesn't mean he's been rambo infiltrating enemy lines. For all we know he's just fired at smoke. He's probably been treat as VIP.

    There is a chance that Usyk will have an unkillable flame when he fights Joshua, but we'd know if he did, because if he was extremely motivated then Joshua would simply stand no chance.

    Joshua doesn't beat peak Usyk at anything. We saw it. So if Joshua wins i guarantee it's going to be a declined Usyk who had less time to train and had to deal with ongoing political and warfare issues in his own country. Thats why i just can't give Aj credit he beats Usyk as much as I'd like to. Joshua had the chance against a healthy prime Usyk and got severely outclassed. If Usyk is the same it's a repeat. It's as simple as that.

    I think they can do more good for Ukraine by boxing on the world stage than by being just another warm body.

    Great news this type of rematch and the Whyte vs Fury contest will help us move to Undisputed. AJ is my guy no doubt about it and I love Dr No Usyk. My prediction is that the winner of this fight will become undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.

    Good.

    It was assumed that Usyk would be gone indefinitely, but I suspected that things would go ahead as originally intended re. Usyk-Joshua II.

    I don't mean this as a knock on the man himself, but it struck me that his conscription was for show and rather coerced.

    What ****ing Russians cities have Ukraine or US bombed to the ground like Russia has Mariupol? Tell me what country you're from and what cities you'd think it would be alright to have bombed like Russia has bombed Mariupol, and Kiev and Charkiv for that matter, or **** the right **** off. "Two sides to a coin". Pathetic.

    Always thought you were a moron, but this marks you out as a despicable moron. As it does everyone who liked the post.

    That's all the time and all the words I'm going to waste on you.

    You really are a dense **** take pos. You have the cheek to call me pathetic yet you can't wrap your little head around the fact there are always two sides to story you utter buffoon. This is the nature of politics, geopolitics, Russia have somewhere felt wronged and felt the need to invade. Ukraine and the west have more than likely done things that have provoked a strong Russian response. I'm not in anyway justifying Russias invasion, but to think the west is totally innocent is just naive and foolish. Although Russia are obviously scumbags and ****s for playing a role in the destruction of cities and deaths of civilians.

    What? Your inability to understand that there are two sides to story (a lot of which you, me and the public are not privy too) makes me a despicable moron. Great logixm
    Can you please point out where exactly have I said it is alright for Russia to bomb cities to rubble? You disingenuous, dishonest scoundrel. I've never said that and I have never justified Russias invasion, only that there. are. two. sides. to. the. story.
    Yeah because you know you don't have the intellect to a muster a sufficient response back you clown. Shoot and scoot. Pathetic.

    What are Usyk and Loma's views on the situation? Do they support the Bandera? Did they speak out against abuses of ethnic minorities in their country? What are their views?
