ugh. I'm not a huge boxing fan, but Is it just me or do those Saudi fights just feel.........passionless (not sure if that's the word I'm after). |  | |  |

I second that! i was in Vegas for the Lewis v Hollyfield title fight with 6,000 plus there from 'Blighty' and would just love, love, love to see thousands of Fabio's fans there cheering him on. Might even make the journey myself! |  | |  |

I was at Ruiz Joshua, MSG in 2019 and Fury Wilder 2 at the MGM. The buzz and atmosphere on the casino floor was unreal before that Fury win. Saudi is just meh, well it looks and sounds like from afar anyway but it should be no surprise that boxing has followed the cash. [Post edited 26 Oct 0:13]

Fight would likely be in April and doubt Usyk would agree to a true away day as the champ, even though Spurs doesn’t seemed to have bothered him. I imagine this will be in Saudi unfortunately. |  |

However much Hearn and Warren talk it up, the entire spectacle is no where near the same over there for obvious reasons. |  |

I'm in agreement with you. Vegas just seems to outdo Saudi venues in everything apart from the cash prize. picture thousands of Fabios followers in 'Sin City' or Riyadh S.A, a country I worked in for 5 years back in the early 80s. |  | |  |
