Great card, didn’t disappoint. Great performances by Parker, AJ, Dubois, Kabayel.
Previously hadn’t seen any of Opataia but he looks like the real deal.

The sceptic in me thinks the Ngannou isn’t selling well and this is all a ruse.
Maybe not. Fingers crossed we get the fight.
Pretty terrible card / show all round.
That’s fair. I thought Ward was hitting Kovalev low so I guess I’m reasonably consistent.
Hmm this clip has changed my mind regarding the low blow.
Neither do I. Not sure if usyk used that extra time because the ref gave it to him or if he really needed it.
All depends at what level he’s will too fight at but you’re probably right.
Great 12th round for Berinchyk and Yigit there.
Kind of expecting an easy night for Usyk but hoping Dubois can put on a good show.
I expect Dubois to to get stopped in the second half.
Hearn seemed pretty confident AJ will fight Wilder in December. What do you think the chances are it actually happens?
I’m of the belief, that like all highly anticipated fights, now it isn’t as big as it once would have been, the fuckers will sign contracts and get it on.
First round might be a bit of a big ask. I think as long as he gets the stoppage and fights a lot more aggressively than he has been of recent, it will be enough.
Anthony Joshua will fight Robert Helenius on Saturday night in London after Dillian Whyte failed a drug test.

Anthony Joshua will fight Robert Helenius at London's O2 Arena on Saturday as the replacement for Dillian Whyte.
Will we get Chisora as a last minute replacement? Is there any feasible opponent for AJ that justify this being PPV in the UK? 3rd failed drug test for the Bodysnatcher - is this the end of his career?

ANTHONY JOSHUA u DILLIAN WHYTE FIGHT UPDATE 5 August 2023 - Today, the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) informed Matchroom, the Association of Boxing Commissions and the British Boxing Board of Control that Dillian Whyte had returned adverse analytical findings as part of a random anti-doping protocol. In light of this news, the fight will be cancelled, and a full investigation will be conducted. Further information on the event will follow.
So if I understand correctly, you’re mom is an ancient Peruvian whale.
I was always so confident that spence would win but the whole car crash stuff gives me concerns.
I feel so starved of big HW fights, the AJ and Usyk fights are making me feel tingly in the trousers.

WBC, WBA, IBF, WBO… Which is worst and why? The WBC not enforcing mandatories? The IBF for not being accommodating enough?

… He mentioned that Fury tried to close fights against Ruiz, Joshua and Usyk but no agreement was reached.

I think it’s an acceptable fight considering the situation but if the Wilder fight fails to materialise it will not age well.
Trying to find AJ a stay busy fight that can pay him an amount he would accept is quite difficult. Not sure who was also in the running but I can understand it even if I’m not excited by it.
Now it’s confirmed that AJ is fighting Whyte, and the suggestion is that this is a stay busy fight with the intention for AJ to fight Wilder at the end of the year.
Thoughts?
