    He would not get £21000 for fighting McCarthy which is roughly $30000 dollars.

    I believe they are levels apart in every department, in my opinion it's a mismatch and it could be very hard to watch if you are a Simmons fan.

    Mismatch, Usyk is a hell of a fighter. Hope Simmons is being paid well and fair play to him.

    McCartney v ****inson is on Ricky Burns undercard
    Fair play to Stephen for taking the fight

    This looks a total mismatch but if you're Simmons and being offered decent money then you'd understand why he'd be willing to step up to the plate.

    I hope it's not as one sided as I fear it'll be.

    Billy - are they really putting that on the Burns undercard? Who in Scotland cares about that fight? Simmons v ****inson would have been a much better one for that event. No logic there......

    I'm hearing Usyk got scared, injured himself so he can duck. A shame.
