@ringmagazine I rate Vanhouter, and think he could go all the way. I am keen to see how he develops. But find him a better opponent. Some good boxers but terrible match ups. Remember the days of Sugar Ray Leonard vs Roberto Durán on the undercard? Shame.

@Troymcclure869 @TheNameofWar <25K recorded at Imperial War museum. German records analysed in 76. Confirmed by Red Cross and multiple govs. You are doubling. Total crap. Motivations mixed. Look at resistance fighters stats and take your head out the SS.

[Martine Storey @Martine_Storey]

@Troymcclure869 @TheNameofWar Key Danish diplomats declared independence, acted for "Free Denmark," & worked with the Danish Council in London ⬇️ Your numbers are inflated & miss the point: Dutch SS was <25k (<0.3% of the pop). Most Baltic SS were conscripted at gunpoint. De Gaulle was widely known by 1943.

@robishere1987 @RobbieP_1975 @SkySportsBoxing We all have our preferences. I would prefer a Fury fight. I don't see vs Usyk happening. They money isn't in it, & Usyk doesn't have many fights left. Kabayel will get built up more in Germany & have a few good match-ups. I don't think he is as formidable as some people think.

@Troymcclure869 @TheNameofWar False equivalence. Occupied nations had governments in exile fighting Germany - Nazi recruiters exploiting local traitors isn't a country "providing" troops. Swedes & Swiss acted illegally & were jailed for it. Only Spain's government officially sent an army division. Belgians ⬇️

[Martine Storey @Martine_Storey]

@IrishPeptider @TheNameofWar But you are stupid. You don't even pretend. Traitors to who? Nobody has ever been prosecuted or convicted under the Treason Act, 1939.

[Martine Storey @Martine_Storey]

@dream_ego_ @TheNameofWar Collections held by the Imperial War Museum and Irish archives contain hundreds of letters home in which Irish recruits explicitly cited Hitler’s invasion of small countries like Poland, Belgium, and the Netherlands as their reason for joining.

[Martine Storey @Martine_Storey]

@Troymcclure869 @TheNameofWar Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Belgium didn't choose to abandon neutrality; they were forced to. Only Spain had a government that actively sent an official military division to fight for Germany. Thousands of Irish men died fighting the Nazis.

@SkySportsBoxing Personally, I would love it. Bring it on.

[Martine Storey @Martine_Storey]

@robishere1987 @RobbieP_1975 @SkySportsBoxing It would easily fill 60-80k in the UK. Both fighters have a huge following. Would personally love to see Fury loose again. It might shut him up a bit. And it is good quality boxing.

[Martine Storey @Martine_Storey]

@EverythingBoxi2 There is no evidence that 'a tiny % of fans care about any of this.' It is a relatively new change of direction - low-skilled boxers being given high-profile fights based on their parentage. Fans like to follow names in the sport - but names because they are good.

[Martine Storey @Martine_Storey]

@ianfsher Is that one of the reasons to fight?

[Martine Storey @Martine_Storey]

@MCartz01 @EverythingBoxi2 Gvozdyk is a very good fighter. He has a following.

[Martine Storey @Martine_Storey]

@T0N3N3 Kremlin propaganda, comrade. Tell your pal Putin, to get out of Ukraine and stop thinking he is a successor to Peter the Great. Stop sending 46,000 foreign contract soldiers from 151 different countries & territories to fight his war for him, whilst he sits in his palace ⬇️.

@Draven1sm It was a good, clean, hard belt from Clarke that would have taken most people down. CBS is 36 now and has had some good victories, has never been a coward, and brought some badly needed honour to the sport of boxing. I wouldn't like to see him take beatings.

@ImpressionistAL Clough. Took over a Nottingham Forest side sitting near the bottom of division 2 in 1975, secured promotion in 1977, and won 1st the division league title in 1978. Then took the side to win European Cup titles in 1979 and 1980. Understood the game better than anyone.

[Martine Storey @Martine_Storey]

@jusstgreg @OutBoxing_ @fighthype Well said. AJ and Fury are long past their best but they are not quite in the danger zone. But Joyce, who is sparring with Fury, and Dillian Whyte? Both of them are still trying to get fights! Madness.

@BoxingKingdom14 "It seems to me that of all the people I've seen hitting heavy bags, including Sonny Liston, no one ever hit it the way Foreman did," said Norman Mailer. Foreman left a dent in it! Makes Ali's win even more impressive. Those forearms!

[Martine Storey @Martine_Storey]

@SkySportsBoxing Picking up some boxing tips from them, no doubt.
