So happy it's happening. Wilder's age vs AJ being chinny, should be fire works.
I know wilder hasnt covered himself in glory after his fury losses but i still love watching him fight. I've never seen anyone with his type of power.

Excited for Wilder, who’s probably the second best heavyweight of the last decade (depending how Usyk shakes out). He’s kind of like a lesser Joe Frazier. If not for one guy, he’d have dominated the division for a long time.
It's kind of insane how, even in defeat, he put fury down like 3 times in his two losses?
Parker isnt a scrub by any stretch so itll be a good scrap
Oh that first fight was about as close to a ko as you’ll ever see. It’s insane Fury got up from that and not only finished the round and the fight but hurt Fury later in that same round.
Sooooo..... does the fight go forward anyway?
Edit: No, apparently the Wilder-Joshua fight is off for now. Sorry ElUno20. Hopefully Wilder gets back in the ring pronto to get back in shape and put himself back in line for a fight with Joshua
Edit2: thanks to whomever picked my profile picture!

No apologies needed man. I think he's done. He needs to retire.
One of the oddities of modern boxing is these massive layoffs are a double edged sword. They're the result of being able to get bigger checks which is great for the fighter's health and financially (I'm a fan of both). However, without the reps, guys look terrible coming back and their careers kinda end abruptly because you do need that ring work. Hats off to parker but if thay fight happens a year or two ago, it looks a little more competitive.

Everything with fury is always dragged out. Something always happens

I don't know much at all about boxing, but I enjoy this thread and very casually follow the sport since my grandfather was a bit of a boxer and I used to watch fights with him when I was a kid.
Anyway, I came across this video of Ben Whittaker vs. Khalid Graidia. Whittaker portrays the confidence of a boxer who knows his opponent is overmatched. I liked the showmanship and thought the ref should've let it go (unless there is a specific rule against it?). He did have some punches that looked dirty, even the back-of-the-head tap was light, but still dangerous.
He does appear to be able to dodge a punch, though Graidia doesn't seem anything special.
Is Whittaker someone to watch or a guy who gets exposed once he's matched with more talented fighters?

This has potential to be a great great fight.
I’ll look more into Whitaker. Just started seeing clips of him this week.

I guess boxing is offically in circus mode: https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/39674243/jake-paul-vs-mike-tyson-set-july-20-stream-netflix
I bet this thing draws a huge audience.

AJ sent that motherfucker to the grave. Fury is a fucking joke

I absolutely love the Tyson training videos that are popping up on instagram. Don’t care if it’s a side show. The nostalgia is too strong. I’ll def be watching the fight.
Which athletic commission is going to grant a 59-yr old the license to fight a 27-yr old?
Corruption is real.
If anyone cares about this dying sport...thurman (injured) has been replaced by fondura to take on tszyu. That should be a barn burner while it last.
Also, Fury looks in great shape already for the Usyk fight. This one he is taking serious.

The secret to Fury's great chin is that he's got three of them. What the hell is he doing
Usyk is a different beast though. He's a master boxer and he has an incredible prime Mayweather like workrate. He's not going to lean in and try to slug it out, Fury is going have to move this fight.
So i think the slimming down is good. Man that 2nd fight vs AJ, around 8-9 when Joshua rallied and then Usyk, dead tired, took it to another level to reassert his control. Chef's kiss on workrate. Dude is a machine.
Given that there will be an age difference of some three decades between the two men come fight night,
So, they're not currently separated by three decades.......?

Shoutout to Oscar for turning a boring press conference into some entertainment
First, Oscar wakes everyone up (including Canelo who was probably having a lovely day)

Then Canelo responds

A random poster on Reddit claims that during the exchange Canelo said that Oscars kitchen staff was getting sick because he was sticking all the utensils up his ass. I don't speak Spanish and it doesn't make sense but that is now what I choose to believe happened.
Also Ryan Garcia popped for PEDs.
It’s a tough tough division, but that version of Loma can hang with any of them. Think Tank probably overwhelms him, especially with his power, but an on Loma is a generational fighter.

Fuck em (the casual sports public). Should be a great fight. Fury looks in great shape and Usyk is an all timer.
