@UKFightNight1 @BoxingShrew @___KR111 Never a bad time to post this

Usyk is an absolute king. Got this dickhead to sanction a fight against someone 1-0 then binned his belt and told him when he told us.

[Mauricio Sulaiman @wbcmoro]

What a disappointment is for me to learn from a social media video that our heavyweight champion is vacating his WBC title. This is the current life we live in, I would even think it is AI . I personally wish Usyk great success in his life inside and outside the ring .

@CRB704 @MatchroomBoxing @EddieHearn @DAZNBoxing That was, admittedly insanely, a world title fight. Which is a long, long way from being an 8 rounder (on paper, at least)

He really is quite the salesman....

@ATokkers5 😂😂😂 One of the few honest ones.

Sadly, that honesty involves Japanese minimum weight dudes at 4am on a Wednesday morning, but honest nonetheless.

[Martin @NewAgeBoxingUK]

Had a re-read of this.

Reminded me. Outside of the ring, boxing is full of people with no, substance. Men who change their opinion with the wind. No morals, lead by money and desire to be popular.

At least two are referenced in this piece.

Great work Craig.

🚨 CFFT: You want an honest media in boxing? They won’t give you it

Busy week for me, hypothetically, in #boxing last week. ‘El Capo’ Turki is calling the shots, and respect to Colin Cairney & Brad Pauls. We roll on again in this mad, old game… #CFFT

That time of the week, where people in boxing with something to hide should probably go into hiding....

@Nattybbz Being a false prophet of CBD oil for personal gain doesn't sit comfortably. Says a lot about character.

[Martin @NewAgeBoxingUK]

STAY IN YOUR OWN LANE

Says the ex-boxer who is offering medical advice without any medical qualifications.

[Martin @NewAgeBoxingUK]

@Nattybbz I'd struggle to articulate EXACTLY what winds me up.... But something does.

[Martin @NewAgeBoxingUK]

@BritBoxingBlog I believe in some countries, they refer to this as the 'Liam Smith fighting in a Spanish leisure centre before a WBO title shot' tactic.

If only Saudi Arabia had made it to the World Cup so he could support his own nation.

Oh wait....

@UpTheHill14 Exactly this! I don't bedgrudge them the pay day that will come with the idiots excited by it. But I don't care if it happens or not. In fact, I'd rather it didn't now, just leave it as an eternal debate of who would have won.

[Martin @NewAgeBoxingUK]

Vegas is the residency of legacy stars whose best years are behind them, but people travel for the spectacle.

I can see why it makes sense to take this fight there. And let's not pretend we really care either.

[Chris McKenna @cmckennasport]

It now looks like Tyson Fury v Anthony Joshua is heading to the US but that will need contracts to be renegotiated so it is not a done deal yet. As reported last week, Joshua's contract states UK venue. Explainer for @TheAthletic

@Dom_1810 People have waited more than 10 years for this. They've either lost interest, or will get up at 4.30

[Martin @NewAgeBoxingUK]

@chegscott209 @boxxer Is it that they're going to put more shows on?

🚨 CFFT: Boxing loses, 'body shots only' & Bam

A shambolic event in MCR left me with plenty of questions: What is a 'Jordan McCann?' Is this a freak show without the talent? And what about THAT Gemma Richardson weigh-in?

Oh, and Bam Rodriguez is outrageous. #boxing

Did he claim the $5 mil reward too?

🇺🇸USA SECRET SERVICE GIFT COIN TO TYSON FURY…👀

Fury posted “massive thanks to secret service for the medal” 🏅

"till I retire"

That'll be until 5.30pm then.

👑 FURY CONFIRMS TURKI ALALSHIKH AS HIS PROMOTER

Amid growing speculation that Tyson Fury could join forces with Dana White and Zuffa Boxing, the former heavyweight champion has set the record straight.

In an Instagram post, Fury made it clear that His Excellency @Turki_alalshikh will be the man promoting the final chapter of his career.
