Boxing thread

Winner of Usyk v AJ gets Fury (or maybe Whyte if something bizarre happens).

Probably next summer.
 
Pretty sure Fury said Whyte’s next in line then it’s potentially the unification fight or beltless AJ.
 
He thought he could just coast and that all he had to do was get through to set up the "dream fight". Unfortunately Usyk didn't read the script and you can NEVER take things for granted at heavyweight
 
Can't see him beating Wilder either. He's a better boxer but I can't see Joshua taking the fight to him like Fury has.
 
Yeah I think Wilder would knock Joshua out. Joshua 4th behind Fury, Wilder and Usyk for me. Usyk Wilder would be an interesting fight.
 
The height and weight would be too much for Usyk v Fury. Haye beat Valuev but Valuev was no boxer. Fury would go after him too.

I agree, a good big un beats a good little un as they say. Who do you think wins Usyk v Wilder?
 
Wilder is really unlucky to come up against Fury. He is easily the second best heavyweight on the planet. His right hand is a hammer. Fury however has one of the greatest chins even seen in boxing .
 
Fury v Whyte then. Not the dream bout but should still be interesting. If Fury's head is right he should win comfortably. Whyte has improved over time but Fury has way too much for him.
 
Buzzing for Shane Gill who beat Steve Robinson on sky tonight. Sparred a lot of rounds with him over the past 3 years. He's only ever gonna be a journeyman but brilliant for him to have a moment in the sun, a top top lad..

He just had so much more ring craft than the other fella who was a big lummox but is doing the wrong sport.

This was exactly what was said when I was chatting to him last week about what he was going to do tactically. Robinson isn't a boxer at all he's just a huge unit and had hype around him for no reason and Shane has been on the unlicensed scene and had plenty of experience.

He's got Frazier Clarke soon which is for decent money, so long as last night hasn't scared them off.
 
Anyone been to the First Direct arena for the boxing? Looking to go for the Warrington fight in March and three tiers of tickets. Not paying the ringside price - is the view much different/equally poor from the other two?
