If you’re a boxing fan moaning at the idea of Fury vs Whyte next, you’re just not a fan 🤷🏻♂️
Outside of Usyk and AJ, it’s the biggest and best fight for Fury next 🥊 bring it on! #FuryWhyte
Plus Usyk is at the very end of his career… too many MMA fans trying to disrespect the sport of boxing because of a few gimmick fights.
Let Crawford fight the best striking MMA guy in his weight class and see what happens 🤦🏻♂️
Name another weight class outside heavyweight where combat sport fighters can come into boxing and be competitive…
It just doesn’t happen because the skill gap is too big. In the case for Usyk, it was the physicality and size he struggled with.
Should Rico have been allowed to continue into R12? Yes.
Was Rico doing really well up until R11? Yes.
Was he winning the fight? Well he only out-landed Usyk in 4/11 rounds. From my viewing, 5-5 after 10 rounds is a completely fair assessment, or 6-4 either way 👍🏻
Usyk would have been up on all 3 scorecards after 11, which is a completely fair assessment. If you think otherwise, you’re just letting the shock of what you’re witnessing give you a bias judgement.
First time on X for almost 2 years but had to come back to say… what a performance from Josh Kelly!!
I remember the slander I got years ago for saying he’d be a world champ one day 🤣🥊 #neverforget#andthenew
Hasn’t he had the offer for over a month?😂 they were talking about this fight straight after CBS’s fight in mid June.
You can’t delay negotiations and then say you’ve got a “shortened camp”😂
A true champion is in camp from mid July knowing they have a fight date 🤷🏻♂️🥊
🚨 OPETAIA CBS ON THE FURY USYK CARD?
Chris Billam-Smith on the offer to fight Jai Opetaia "I think they want it for Oct 12 and I'm not going to shorten my camp for anyone. You've got the Dec card (Fury-Usyk 2), happy to fight him then." (@BoxingNewsPlus)
That is the worst decision I’ve seen in a long time. Rosie Eccles just boxed the head off the Polish woman and has been absolutely robbed 🥊 #OlympicGames
It’s crazy that people commenting on this are saying the talksport team are right 😂
Yes.. both fighters should retire.. but talking like this during the 9th round like Chisora was down on the cards?? Chisora has looked like that every fight from round 3 onwards, for years 😂🥊
QUEENSBERRY CLOSE TO AGREEING DAZN DEAL ‼️
Queensberry Promotions are reportedly close to agreeing a broadcast deal with DAZN 📺
Their deal with TNT Sports is set to run out in 2025.
Thoughts? 🤔

I asked @eddiehearn why Matchroom decided against bidding on the @Realdevinhaney x @sandormartin super lightweight title fight, which Top Rank won. TR’s winning bid was for $2.42 million, per @DanRafael1.
Here’s what Hearn said:
“We don’t have a contract with Devin. It’s not an appealing fight, wasn’t a fight DAZN were motivated by or one that had any value. Devin is a free agent and has his own promotional company.”
This is spot on. Matchroom ain’t bidding for a fight like this as it’s not in their business interests to do so. Just surprised no one from Matchroom made that clear to Haney before the purse bids 🤷🏻♂️😂
7-5 of 8-4 are both fair for Massey here 🥊
Chamberlain certainly has good moments and rounds, but Massey showed his superior boxing and ring IQ in the last third of the fight 🥊
