    AJ will always be PPV. He’s one of the biggest stars in the sport. He could fight Butterbean and it’d still be £25. 
    Any heavyweight world champion will be PPV, always will be. Just a shame the division has so much dodging that the fans are left to pay to watch guff fights like this one.

    Best thing with doing that for a boxing fan is you can choose not to pay it, Hearn and Sky know that Joshua is popular with people who don't care for boxing or only have a passing interest and will but it so they will keep on doing it

    Cheers all.

    I actually thought it was tonight hence my confusion when looking through the listings!

    Who is this wanker of a lead DAZN commentator who can't stop bigging up Benn? After about 15 seconds of Formella employing a high guard he's saying it's not working when it patently was (sort of, anyway - it brought an improvement).

    Benn's speed is unbelievable though. Great stuff so far.

    Watching on sky. Benn looking very good

    Apparently the Sky comms are even worse. Benn has definitely looked good though.

    Great rumble that, Benn an easy winner but even so. Absolute granite chin on Formella.

    All the talk of Josh Kelly next for Conor Benn.

    Kelly has one hell of a fighter in his way first.
    Unless they dodge Avanesyan again.

    Avanesyan is a hard fight and as good as Josh Kelly's highlight reel is I think they would be better off swerving it. Connor Benn looked good tonight but also really easy to hit. I like him though he is never going to come out of his dads shadow and he is game as they come, can't pretend at that

    Dubois Joyce tonight. Very much looking forward to this, a proper 50/50 when both boxers have a lot to gain

    I fancy Joyce late TKO, I like dubois a lot but think Joyce is all wrong for him, but if Joyce starts slow and doesn't dictate the pace it will be a different story

    Dubois will dominate and stop him inside 8 rounds.

    I can't call it. Joyce often starts slow but has an incredible engine, so could win it in the later rounds. I'm thinking Dubois might just be too strong for him though

    is it a 10 or 10:30 start?

    Dubois KO by round 6 is my bet, I think it may go longer but that bet was about the most worthwhile one 

    Joyce is good and his record is not to be sniffed at, I can't stand his style at all but it is effective. I just think Dubois is better, hes faster and more accurate. If he times Joyce's constant attacks he could end it really early

    Dubois to win a dodgy points decision.

    Dubois in 8 I fancy 16-1 with sky bet

    I know you are a bookie Bob and that's the value but what do you know that I don't (loads I suspect) 

    Hope you are well mate think Joyce has it all to lose and as much as I like him I think Dubois will be too much for him especially once he starts countering him
  • McBobbin

    I get the impression of Joyce loses, at 35 it's over. Dubois is 23... If he loses he's a few KOs away from being back in contention. I think a Joyce win might be a bit more exciting in that respect. But I like both of them, so just hoping for a quality match up

    Next time I finally go back to the office, I want to walk past photos of all the greatest British patent attorneys throughout history. And a picture of Herbie Hyde.

    I’m good thanks, Dan. You too I hope.
    i’ve just got a doubt about Dubois’ chin - no such doubt about Joyce’s. It won’t go the distance so on that basis Joyce is the value.

    Joe Joyce didn't turn Pro till he was 32!
    Dubois is a powerhouse young fighter.

    Really looking forward to this.

    I will go for DD but Joyce is super fit and could frustrate him.

    Joyce's chin is definitely not contradicting you thus far!

    Impressed with Joyce here... Sticking to gameplan perfectly
