The Boxing thread

[Metalartin]

FYI - there is a film that was green lighted a couple of years ago on Willie Pep (I assume it has been pushed back a fair bit due to Covid but hopefully still in the pipeline)............

I hadn't heard about a film, cheers. With his story it has the potential to be better than the film based on Micky Ward's boxing story 'The Fighter', which I think was a good watch.

Yeh you just hope that they do him and his story justice.

Why?? Fury has beaten him twice, is this to stop British domination of the heavyweight class?

Politics in boxing are every bit as odd/bizarre/corrupt as VAR.

it is a contract though, seems the judge is giving allowance for COVID-19 which is reasonable.

It boils down to Wilder gets paid to step aside.

It’s worse. Fury is managed by a serial killer.

He hasn't beaten him twice regardless of what you think.

Surely everyone organising the fight would have known that this decision was going to become an issue - just seems to be gamesmanship (again)...........
