Anyone planning to watch?
I wouldn't if it was PPV but as it's on standard Netflix and I already have a subscription I am tempted to set an alarm.. |
Nah - it’s only encouraging more freak show fights by adding to the viewing numbers. |  | |  |

Not a chance. Not worth being up at 3am for. It's not a real fight. |  |

....when he was interviewed last week Eddie Hearn said that the medium term plan was for AJ to fight Fury next year.
He'd need a "warm up" fight to prepare and that he wouldn't fight anyone that was a dangerous opponent at that stage. He'd fight a nobody.
So he said that they might as well fight another nobody (from a boxing perspective) and get paid untold millions to do it.
He'll just use it to get his jab going, warm up his defence and win on points.
Then lose to Fury cos he's crap now anyway. |
I’d read Joshua was getting £100m+ for this ‘fight’
Assuming it isn’t scripted like Wrestling, he should finish Paul within 30 seconds? |  | | |

I do wonder if part of the reason AJ has taken this fight is to put an end to the whole charade. Most be frustrating to see a clown show getting all the attention and if you can get paid a fortune to show it's nonsense then why not? |  |

IMHO there is only one reputational loser here... AJ. Smacks of one last payday I'm afraid. |  | | |

....being made is that he has "inherited" it rather than "won" it.
Being the next on the list shouldn't really entitle you to a world title, you should earn it in the ring.
Surely the best solution in this particular instance should be that the two highest ranked contenders fight for the title, and only then are they "crowned".
Boxing is far too tied up in red tape these days to be taken very seriously. |
I think Parker and Wardley were the top two challengers at the time, which is why they fought for the Interim Title.
He won the Interim Title in the ring, against a credible opponent.
Wardley then became a mandatory Challenger for Usyk. Usyk didn't want the fight and so relinquished the belt.
He either has a bigger final payday in mind, before retiring undefeated, or saw something in Wardley's style which means Usyk doesn't consider to be a good match up for him.
Either way, Usyk refused the fight with Wardley.
In a sport in which there are multiple variations of the world title at each weight, Wardley is no less legitimate a World Champion than many others. | | | |

Yeah that’s a balanced view. I think Usyk beats Wardley 99pc of the time but he vacated. Fair play to Fabio i think he’d take anyone on. That’s a fight that’s all risk and no reward for Usyk. He’s left the game conquering the division with relatively few fights makes total sense. I didn’t think Wardly would get far v Parker but he’s got heart and power. | | | |

Thought AJ might show a bit of humility after that performance. Rewriting history in the ring right now. [Post edited 20 Dec 5:08]

Embarrassing spectacle. Paul ran away until his legs gave out then just kept falling on the floor for a rest. | | | |
