    'Absolutely nothing' is clearly not the same thing as 'not even significant'.

    But at least you're backing down from what you said before which is a small but insufficient step in the right direction.

    I'd like to see the reaction you'd receive if you went on national television and said this wasn't even significant when hundreds of people are continuing to die every day.

    My granduncle (my mother's mother's brother) died from coronavirus. Believe me when I say I understand the personal cost.

    But in terms of the bigger picture, this disease is not that lethal. If you're under 65 and don't have any risk factors (my granduncle was 85, had prostate cancer, diabetes and, according to my grandma, damaged lungs from when he used to go down the pit when he was younger) you have a 98% chance of surviving it. The long term economic damage we've caused by overreacting to this virus is going to devastate far more many lives and, potentially, kill far more many people than coronavirus by itself ever could.

    It was an insensitive an ignorant comment to make.

    There’s been very young and healthy people who’ve died from it, who had no underlying health issues.

    People are being banned from visiting their loved ones in hospital and they’re not even allowed to attend the funerals in order to say goodbye.

    Britain is 3 weeks behind other countries who went into full lockdown earlier.

    Passing it off as been insignificant by quoting statistics, is very poor.

    Yes, there’s many people that sadly die every day from all around the world due to various conditions and incidents. But there was no need for your comments.

    I think the fight will happen and it's a no brainer to have it in the UK.
    However, like others have said, money talks and the Saudi's have a lot of it. That's where I think the fight will happen.

    It will happen in Vegas

    $100m+ fight.


    Vegas is the new home of The Gypsy King. He doesn't have a UK boxing license.

    AJ must come to fight him.

    Will Joshi get his butt spanked again?
    Will Fury "retire" for one or two years?

    Both options will probably mean the fight never happens, and we still won't get another undisputed champion anytime soon.

    Fury won't waste his time with journeyman Joshua. It was a big fight 3 years ago. Now it's a mismatch and a one-sided beatdown in Furys favor. Joshua is on his way out and will probably just have 2-3 fights left. Usyk beatdown 2, then 1 or 2 bigger fights (maybe Wilder, or a Whyte rematch) for the money and he'll call it a career.

    But we'll get Fury vs. Usyk. That's even better than seeing Fury beating the soul out of Joshua.

    The fight could have happened if Hearn and Co. didn't **** themselves years ago, now that opportunity is long gone

    Joshua is old news :yawn:

    Considering 6,255,647 have died from Covid that's a mighty dumb thing to say. I have friends that died from this mild flu. smh
