    To us yes obviously we know that.. but DAZN may want something a bit more clean cut. Hearn almost offering out a crowd member after his fighter has just lost isn’t great optics to a brand like DAZN. That’s why he’s addressed it I think.

    I see he's had a trilogy with the great Laszlo Toth since the Haye defeat. Who? Don't know. but the fans needed to see him get sparked out inside 2 rounds 3 fights in a row for some reason.

    Aye I hear what you're saying but it's almost impossible to sell the sport like that. I mean puglism "the noble of art of sport" It's always been the sport of the riff-raff. The gentlemen's game.. Right :lol:

    I agree with the Usyk homecoming and I actually think it would do AJ no harm as he needs to genuinely feel like the under dog to put a fire under him but, I very much doubt it generates anything like enough dollar to please the promoters, TV and Sponsors unfortunately.

    I could imagine it being a real spectacle and a bear pit atmosphere that could crumble AJ so I fully expect it to be financed by ME oil money in Dubai or Saudi, with Vegas or MSG perhaps being vague possibilities.

    If the deal makes sense to Usyk, I'm sure he'll happily take the rematch in the UK again.

    FFS! Have you ever been to a live boxing match? Everyone I've been to has been a tinder box of testosterone, massive alcohol consumption and enough 'toxic masculinity' to inflate a dozen hot air balloons. Throw in a couple of shows that have been hijacked by a bunch of Pikeys and you have a recipe for a super brawl far more entertaining/terrifying than anything you'll see in the ring.

    You’ve either misunderstood what I’m saying or are deliberately doing so. I’m talking about what an American corporate sports provider might prefer - and a promoter basically offering out a member of the crowd isn’t a good look *for them*.

    It’s not my personal opinion so either chill out or read my post again.

    Usyk should have it in London again. I get the impression Joshua feels the pressure there. He has to put on a show. He said he much preferred Saudi.

    The judging is going to be the issue for Usyk.

    I didn't say there was, i was just referring to the round that he was going on about.

    Regarding the clock there are some videos circulating of the final round and the clock is there, and it does appear to end nine seconds early.

    Obviously we are not on the same sheet here mate.

    When you watch any sport be it football etc the time left is always there.

    The same as boxing it displays the round and the countdown to end said round, and it ended about 9 seconds than it should have is all i am saying fella...

    But like you said the DAZN clock was out!!!
