    I thought May and maybe a few months to follow were the only times all year the weather was 1/4 decent in the UK.

    Seems a bit of a waste to use up that little window in Turkey.

    AJ will knock him out in 6 rounds, this fight somehow makes no sense considering other boxers who deserve a chance...

    It's a mandatory defence. What doesn't make sense about that?

    I am surprised by the choice of venue, especially as the big money are expected to come from the UK. Unless Turkey has offered some serious cash as an incentive. This may explain the timing also, as March could be bit harsh to spend five hours in the open. I expect AJ to win, but he should not take Pulev lightly.

    I mean....they certainly do the trick. I walk by someone in a position of authority holding an AK with a mean mug on his face and I straighten up my posture with a quickness and have that thought in the back of my mind like "Am I doing anything wrong right now? Naw naw naw I'm good".

    Why Istanbul? Are Hearn and AJ doing some sort of strange "Dictator Tour"?

    Saudi Arabia, Turkey..


    What next? Usyk in North Korea? Whyte in Iran? Dave Allen in Syria?


    What the hell is going on?

    Joshua is a unified champion. He will be facing mandatories for different belt organisations for as long as he holds those belts. Remember how rubbish Wladimir's resume looked because of that same problem?

    Its certainly not Pulev who can concuss him. The bodybuilder is not a fool.
