    Not many options left for fury, usyk trilogy would be a pointless cash grab. AJ vs Fury fills Wembley no problem, even if the call outs are cringe af.

    Call out was cringy. Aj took it well and bossed him, hut should have said ‘on the basis of what i just watched, you need another fight before me mate’

    There is no way that fight takes place in Saudi Arabia. 

    I'll take or leave Anthony Joshua and thought he handled that pretty classily he knows what Fury is like 

    For what it's worth I thought Fury boxed well and showed a decent engine 

    Connor Benn has good fitness but thats about it, his boxing brain is non-existent, he will get taken apart and probably badly hurt against any of Lopez, Garcia or Romero.

    Benn is nothing without his 'eggs'. A total fraud of a fighter and I'm baffled that Hearn went to bat so hard for him, when it's clear he isn't world champion level.

    I can't believe any one is genuinely still interested in an AJ Fury fight this late on. Both are an absolute shadow of themselves.

    Benn is the most overrated boxer in Britain (possibly in british boxing history), he went life and death with a belgain kickboxer. Took a break and then started KO-ing people, all of a sudden gets popped for roids.

    Goes on a crusade to fight every man past his best in division to prove himself as world class, fight the ghost of Chris Eubank jr and lose the first fight.

    All of which I could forgive as he is entertaining at least, if he just had some humility. How about he fights Jack Catarell ? Wont happen but one can dream.

    Another good win for Elliot Whale yesterday. Deserves to be further up the card than fighting first at 3pm infront of about 50 people in 60k stadium.

    Now that is a fight i would like to see 

    Josh Taylor was always game to fight Connor Benn and he had chops to fight anyone (he definitely lost the first Catterall fight and I can forgive him not taking the rematch for the other fights he took) 

    And @ValleyGary is spot on Elliot Whale deserves a decent bit of exposure. Class boxer

    Fury is always cringe with what ever he says. Big bloke, can box relatively well and just proved he has still got the stamina but at soon as he opens his mouth he is just awful.. so awful.. I never liked him I know others find him entertaining with what he comes out with but it's not for me.. even his accent annoys me..

    Actually think Richard Riakporhe might be a bit of a handful at Heavy. Always had a big frame at Cruiser but he definitely looks the part with the extra 30 odd pounds. Definitely blessed with heavy hands, just a shame he’s a Palace fan!

    Hi Carter
    I read somewhere that Elliott Whale reckons some fighters are ducking him.

    Hi Carter

    I'll put money on that being the case, he is a very good boxer from what I've seen of him. Not a massive name or ticket seller so will be heavy on risk and light on reward. Curse of good boxers everywhere 

    The reality of boxing sadly is you need to be either an amateur with real pedigree or sell lots of tickets to get opportunities. Or have the right name like Benn, Eubank, Hatton

    One of my mates trained at the same gym as Choi, Choi is worth googling. Hard, hard man, of Mongolian stock but never sold a ticket in his life and he used to hurt people. Could easily have been a European champ but just didn't get the fights 

    Hopefully Elliot is able to stay at it

    He’s recently moved promotion I believe and is now getting used to the cameras and media spotlight which helps gradually. He had a really good interview after his fight about this. Proper nice lad and his mates are all our ‘younger’ lot from around this way.
