Eubank Jr fight off - he was talking it up "I won't get knocked out" whilst 1/100 to beat the little known German who couldn't get medical clearance.

Sky's start after Matchroom a bit of a farce.

Amazing that anyone pays any attention to Jr. Why doesn’t he fight Williams or Ryder or even Felix Cash instead of anonymous euro plodders

McCracken has a good resume but was hailed as some kind of tactical guru when AJ moved around the fat party animal version of Ruiz for 12 rounds. I’m not even sure that “plan” came from Rob - I think AJ having taken his first proper beating from Ruiz (and let’s be honest he quit that night) didn’t want to engage in the rematch or in any subsequent fight it now seems.

He needs a fresh start, new trainer, get rid of all the “stay humble” hangers on, no more camps with the ams in Sheffield. Go to the States, get a new trainer - Robert Garcia maybe ? - get some proper sparring, see if he’s still got the fire in him that Ruiz seemingly bludgeoned out.

Pass on the Usyk rematch, have a comeback fight knock over job then fight Whyte. That would be a decent litmus test of where he’s at

Good post, Couldn't agree more. A change of attitude and trainer as well is needed, because as it stands the top boys will eat him alive.
 
Sky and Eubank Jnr might be good to watch. The main event with the Russian was good while it lasted. It's the Top Rank fights that Sky have done a deal for will be better to see.l think the Boxxer concept is great but that promotion needs to find a star while in this deal with Sky. I am shocked they didn't go to Mick Hennessy and offer him a few nights on Sky. Some of the Irish fighters he has got look promising to say the least.
 
Wasn’t too bothered about this fight when it got made again but now fury and wilder is starting to intrigue me as maybe just maybe fury has not fully focused on wilder as he did him both fights so his mind is not fully 100 percent which brings wilder right into the fight. This will not be a walkover .
 
There's actually a decent undercard on this weekends fight, especially at HW. I can see Bob Arum and Haymon are determined to make a profit on this fight(first two fights didn't break even).

Jarred Anderson is one to watch, one of the most talented young American HWs to come through in years. They have high hopes for him.

Kownacki vs Helenius is interesting because of the upset in the first fight last year. You'd expect Helenius to be the favourite but he's 37 going into this fight and he's never looked as athletic as some HWs at the same age.

Efe Ajagba vs Frank Sanchez should be a decent fight. Most are favouring Ajagba but as a Cuban fighter that Reynoso has been working with for a while now, I wouldn't sleep on Sanchez pulling off an upset.

Anyone know if you can get the boxing tonight if you don’t have a BT subscription? As in just pay for the boxing and not a BT subscription?

Agreed. Usyk won the first 4 rounds comfortably. In my eyes rounds 5 and 6 are the only two rounds in the entire fight Joshua probably won.
Every other round was Usyk.
Complete dominance. The rematch their is only one winner and this time it's going to be a stoppage.

Think you are right. Usyk will knock him out. Double bubble.

Agree and I cant wait for it tonight. Undercard looks very very good as well

Hoping Tyson dismantles Wilder just like the last fight. Wilder relied to heavily on his right hand, so much so he would be losing fights until landing one and taking the win

He says he has gone back to basics now, but that can be easily forgotten once more if Fury dominates like he did last time out

Those writing Fury off saying he hasnt trained properly for me are wide of the mark, he looks focused on this even more than last time

Both fighters for me cannot afford to lose and that makes this fight exciting

C'mon Fury
 
This is the 3rd fight they've had that imo has been horribly underpromoted. There was more hype for the Dubois - Joyce fight than this.

I find Fury to be a boring in ring guy but his matches with Wilder have definitely been entertaining. I expect Fury to win this fairly comfortable though as I can't see Wilder's increased size helping him much. Fury's worst enemy is complacency and I think he's too aware of Wilder's one punch power to let that be an issue.

I wonder if Fury will come out wearing a heavy suit to take the piss? Would be funny of him.
