Fury-Wilder 3 in July according to Bob Arum. Not ideal.
Not ideal at all. Is anyone really interested in seeing them go a third time? Fury has absolutely schooled him over 2 fights and a third one just seems pretty pointless. Probably means at least another year before we see Fury v Joshua.
A trilogy should never be based off a one sided beat down. Morales-Barrera, Gatti-Ward, Bowe-Holyfield, Marquez-Vasquez, Pacquiao-Marquez etc were all really competitive fights.
I see Joshua is fighting Pulev at Spurs ground in June.

Dylan whyte v povetkin tonight. Was thinking it should be a decent scrap then I saw the price those ****s Sky are charging. ?20 for that 😂😂😂😂. Do one you utter scum.
Surely there has to be some kind of governance to this? I already pay a fortune for sky sports why should anyone have to pay an extra 20 quid to watch this fight which is essentially meaningless between two guys who cant cut it at the top level in the division. Daylight robbery. Ppv is a thing of the past and theyre milking it for all its worth before it gets shut down completely.

I told my mate yesterday not to sleep on Povetkin. I also said to watch out for the dipping and hooking off the slip. Ended up being an uppercut off the slip, so I wasn't far off. Good fight. Povetkin was down twice and in the round before the stoppage.
Didn't score the Taylor fight but I felt Persoon won. Cracking fight and both very tough women.

Womans boxing has went up in my estimation after last night and the recent Natasha Jonas fight.
Brutal ko for Povetkin last night. Heavyweight boxing in a nutshell, whyte was on top but one punch changed it in a flash. Whyte has a pretty decent chin as well which shows just how good a punch that was.

I still say Whyte cut too much weight and that's made a difference. That uppercut would put most to sleep tbh. Was flush.

Whyte just isn't as good as people were making out. This has been coming for a while.
Was in trouble with Parker, dropped by Rivas. He looked terrible against Marius Wach.
