    Also says he will make Fury offers but is going to let Tyson have time with his family first.

    The idea behind Itauma-Pulev is that will be the avenue to make him the "youngest champion," which I don't think any of us will recognize.

    I saw Michael Hunter yesterday, he said he’s looking to fight Pulev next but this will definitely make it difficult for him to get that fight.

    I am a fan of the man and I was a fan of his dad. Tell him to fight Bridger and pick up a belt!

    I wish also he would do that or even better, take his training/diet seriously and pick up a belt at cruiser first and most importantly, staying active!

    Fury will fight AJ if Turki gives him at least 75-100£ million at the lowest. Not sure how Fury would feel if the purse was 60/40 to the winner if it ended like that.

    Pulev is so washed man. He's not a bad fighter but he is so faded. Still is a fair step-up from McKean, I'll give him that - a mid but vulnerable gatekeeper at best RN, rather than a good journeyman. Itauma will get him out of there within the early to the mid rounds, Pulev won't be able to keep up with the early onslaught of someone three times younger than him, Itauma is all wrong for Pulev.

    Well, whatever he decides to do, just let him know there are a lot of people that would like to see him successful.

    He's talking sense on Joshua Wilder. That fight is money, although Wilder seems completely over the hill just like that.

    Somehow I missed Pulev beating Charr for the WBA Regular belt..

    Mahmoud Charr’s reign of terror is finally over, without a single successful defence inside the ring

    Itauma vs Pulev is a garbage fight, Itauma would knock him out early and that fight is a waste of time, Joshua vs Wilder is also a crap fight, Wilder was outclassed by Parker and Zhang, I know Joshua's confidence is down and he will gladly accept such a fight which let's be realistic he should easily win...

    Turki should consult Barry Hearn. Check that Joshua-Wilder has marinated sufficiently yet.

    Damn don't feed Pulev to him, that's truly a lamb going off to the slaughter house. There is no point in this fight at all, really disappointing.

    Joshua Vs Wilder is also way past it's sell by date but it's still an interesting fight. If you solely judge them both by there last fight then jesus, this is a hard fight to call. I will say Joshua tho but wouldn't be at all surprised if Wilder actually pulled the trigger and landed one on him.

    I think Itauma v Pulev is a good fight. Seems like a sensible step up, we've seen young prospects come up a cropper before when they've stopped fighting tomato cans.

    Pulev will turn 44 this year, Itauma will eat him. Pulev won't be able to take his offence, Itauma will stop him in 2.

    Anyway, it has nothing common with Tyson's record since Pulev is not a world champion by any means.

    To beat Tyson's record, Moses has to defeat Usyk or at least Dubois
