Addressing the press conference is @Turki_alalshikh next to Nick Khan. Turki said his health has taken turn for the worse last 4 months and wants to see the fight. #FuryJoshua#boxing
Fury-AJ is happening in the U.K. because @Turki_alalshikh ultimately decided to stage the bout at Principality Stadium. He’s the organizer of the event, and it’s his call in the end. Everyone had 10-plus years to make the fight and it didn’t happen until Turki came around. Just the facts.
Dared to be great by boiling himself down to a weight that he hadn't made in nearly five years, put some respect on @ConorNigel's name 👏🏼

Imagine your fighter(Moses Itauma), winning every single round, landing at will, having a big body target he can prioritize to maybe end the fight, yet you still push him to go to punch-out war with a wall(Hegovic), just for him to get so tired he can't stay on his feet.
It might've been a conditioning issue that could've been fixed in camp, a planning issue that could've been fixed right after the first round. Regardless, the coach is the biggest culprit here, unless it's some unkown injury.
Hamzah Sheeraz weighs in on the WBO ordering a fight with Janibek Alimkhanuly following Janibek’s positive drug test and reducing his suspension:
"I think it's a joke. I think what the WBO have done here is disgraceful to the sport of boxing as well.
What they're essentially doing is rewarding someone who's been popped.
I suppose it comes down to ulterior motives and corruption... I feel like it's all based on personal relationships."
