Neither of whom carried any sort of pop, they were blown up cruisers. I really, really hope Tyson proves me wrong, but he hasn't ever been anywhere near someone with Wilder's legitimate power. The ring is 20 foot square rather than the normal 24 too, given away in the negotiations by Tyson's management.

You'll both be up all night anyway then haha! Congratulations to you Will and Tom, mine are 6 (tomorrow) and 9 now, I don't envy you haha!

My little boy's 6th birthday party tomorrow with 20 kids at Kingsdown leisure centre , so I'll ******* need a drink in the evening haha! My chances of staying up from that to the fight to Millwall at home on Sunday are limited tbh, but I'm going to give it a good go! edit, my missus has done a great job on the cake

That's the big unknown though mate. Fury is clearly 100 times the boxer Wilder is, but Deontay carries that windmill power seriously late in a fight. If Tyson had had more than 2 glorified sparring sessions since coming back I'd have far more faith, it just seems much too early for me. I really hope I'm wrong!

Brilliant, like a trip to boxing Mecca! Love the guys taking a quick break from the pads to photobomb behind Freddie too haha.

You can't knock the commitment Tyson's shown to get back into that shape from where he was. I want him to shut Wilder up so much, but there's a serious doubt about his stamina after what his body has been through in the last few years. Sure he looks great now but we've seen coutless times how fighters who haven't lived the life get found out in the latter stages of fights, and there's no way a two year piss up and eat-a-thon with shovel loads of gak can be good for your cardio! I wonder if @AirlieBeachRed has any updates from LA for us yet? Are you attending the weigh in tomorrow mate?

******* hell, how many roubles has Eddie been paid for this little lot haha

Ref carrying Ustinov back to his corner now ffs! Edit good work Hunter

Some disgusting scoring there, wtf.

Matchroom's from Monte Carlo on Sky. Sadly you've already missed Frank Buglioni getting his eyebrow punched off.

Ffs lads, we've got an open goal for a day of piss taking and we are shanking it Tom Nichols style to engage in some totally unnecessary navel gazing. Can we not leave the existential crisis for another time and just enjoy laughing at the hopeless ******* today please? Barnet hahahaha

Yeah no doubt it'll be pretty much full on fight night, it's that just the hit the promotion will take for reducing ticket prices in the last few days makes some of the crazy pre fight numbers Wilder and co were banding about look pretty daft! I know they have to talk it up, but Deontay was claiming they would get 2.5 million ppvs the other day haha.

No chance Usyk will fight for a title in his first hw fight, even if he hadn't clearly stated he's taking a few months off. I can't see any of the sanctioning bodies doing any of the political contortions they'd have to to get Ward recognised as legitimate even for a voluntary and he has shown zero inclination to leave the US to fight at the top of his game, let alone coming back from such a lay off. No way will it be Price or Allen, Eddie struggled to get 75k at Wembley for Povetkin, no-one will buy tickets or ppv for that. Tbh I think this is Hearn just trying to keep the April Wembley fight relevant and in the news, bacause we all know Whyte is guaranteed the shot as long as he beats Del- unless Wilder spanks Fury into retirement and his team get a sudden dose of financial realism. Speaking of which, they have apparently shifted less than 8k tickets for the Staples Centre on 01/12 thus far.

Exactly how I read it too. There was no footage of it because it didn't happen, you lying gas ****.

He first came to my attention when he was brought in as a late replacement to fight Nathan Cleverly. He actually missed the weight and the fight it turned out, but I'll never forget the traditional Scouse challenge he issued to Clev after a perceived slight at the hastily convened presser. I think it went something like: 'ey are ya ****** blurt let's ****** av it ****** now' edit- what a picture this is

Makes a change from your mate Conor eh!

I think anyone who had the slightest clue was more hoping than expecting Bellew could win tbh. Edit other than @Northern Red

Amazing shot from Usyk. Eddie nearly caught Bellew!

Usyk is different gravy. Top 3 p4p in the world. Nothing but respect for that effort from Bellew, incredible.

Well I've seen the ******* lot now haha

'I must break you' hahaha

Excited for this boys. As boxing fans we cannot lose. Let's go Bomber!

Would absolutely ******* love this, but I fear that reality dictates a clinic and UD from Usyk. And yet Bellew hits harder than any other Cruiserweight in the world... Come on Tony lad.

State of Naz haha, hope he hasn't bet on Bellew!

Yeah, this one seems far more stable.
