    Aye the business of boxing
    Hence it ain't an Olympic sport
    The Olympics wanted it there but its business
    And they dont give out medals for guys in suits cashing in

    The next Olympic gold medal runner should be made to compete not against the elite but locals at the fitness centres and charge top dollar for it

    Vitali was on the same card to fight fringe contender Cedric Boswell. By same logic Joshua should be fighting Hrgovic - not Chisroa - who is more the Cedric Boswell in this scenario. He won't risk his whiskers of course.

    LOL. Makhmudov was thoroughly outboxed by Junior Fa in WSB. The same Fa who was knocked out in 1 by 44 y.o. Lucas Browne

    He barely got past shot Takam, the only decent his pro opponent.

    Makhmudov is the most overrated boxer on this forum in the last few years.

    I actually think Helenius is better prep for the Wilder fight than Whyte was. Tall, long range fighter and Joshua needs a KO to build confidence. Pretty smart matchmaking here but ffs drop it from PPV!

    Ok make the fight. Let's see how over rated he is.

    For the record, I think he is a **** poor boxer with very limited skill and is unreachable. But ....

    ....he has enough to KO anyone and his killer instinct is second to none. Joshua would be timid all night against him

    Makhmudov was rocked by Takam.

    It has now been dropped from PPV - so will be a regular fight night on DAZN
