    I can look for it later. It was the day it happened, so we are a few weeks out.

    Pouty until he needs his toy again, unless Frank is trying to make the Usyk fight happen behind ex-cellency's back.

    Hopefully this is true.

    And I hope Usyk does the honorable thing and fights the deserving Joseph Parker next, instead of the privileged Queensberry boxer Daniel "Head Butts and Low Blows" Dubois.

    Let's not forget, Dubois refused VADA testing before the fight with Joshua. He very quickly went from being a soft boxer who could be knocked out with a jab and floored three times in a round by feather-fisted Lerena, to being an exceptionally durable strong boxer who took Joshua's and Hrgovic's best punches without flinching. He went from having no heart and quitting against Joyce, to walking through Miller's punches.

    I am not sure if this is the one I was thinking of, but here, at about 138, he starts floating the idea that maybe some of Dubois meds were on the banned list.

    I sincerely hope so. Nothing at all against Dubois and I've loved his bounce back, but he's already had his crack at Usyk. Rather than another rematch, let's get Parker and Kabayel in there to round out his career :ggg

    Just a quick thing about that video, I would caution against their attribution of sarcastic intentions to a non-native speaker of English. That could just as likely be a genuine "wow, good luck" coming from Turki. Of course, there may have been follow-up, excluded from the video, making it clear he isn't in support of the fight

    Turkyi is a raging egomaniac, just like the rest of them. They crave control and power and **** on people when they have no further use for them. How people cant see that with this **** amazes me.

    Losing interest in a legit belt holder is crazy

    He’s just a human being in control of an operation, they like to be in control.

    it’s not about being an egomaniac, he wants to be in charge of his operation and has the backing (money and people) to support him.

    This is why boxing and sports have organisational bodies, to reduce bias with personal preference. It doesn’t always work but it’s an effort to reduce bias and increase fairness

    He was with VADA. It was later confirmed. What he doesn't do is year round testing which AJ claims that he does.

    As for why its all gone quiet, its gone quiet with everyone at the minute because for some reason the big money that was on offer no longer is.

    There was supposed to be a massive Wembley or spurs show announced for this summer but that's gone quiet now same with fury returning etc.

    Even the mid card fighters you'd expect to see having fights lined up have all slowed down cos the money/plans they had have all gone probably cos of this ufc/fight league deal.
