You’d be mental not to go. It’s an absolutely fantastic fight and we’re lucky to get this on non-subscription free tv here in the UK. Fat Mick has done a great job there.
Yeah I agree mate either a late ko or a very wide points decision, his dad has a brillant boxing brain and him and Hughie would of learned from the parker fight and know now to be more aggressive. Also Pulev is old inactive and has built his resume off beating old and faded fighters he will not be able to hang with a young boxer like fury.
Considering both have ducked AJ before it will be interesting to see if the winner actually takes up the opportunity for the mandatory fight.
No idea why Pulev is even taking this fight. To turn down the Joshua money, but then take a fight to get the Joshua fight, is just illogical. He should've fought Joshua and retired.
What injury was it again? Yellow spineitis or acute temporary heart failure, lol. But seriously he was probably genuinely injured I'm not one to believe every injured fighter is ducking. But it didn't look good, before he agreed the fight he'd been saying he wasn't ready, needed more time and tried to delay the mandatory shot which fed into the idea that he didn't want the fight. He's got too much invested in this Fury fight not to cash in against Joshua if he gets that chance.
Since I'm picking Fury to decisively beat Pulev, possible by late stoppage, that's not going to happen regardless. Now Hughie beating AJ.... that one I'll have to think about.
