I see Amir 'King Khan" is still bleating on about how a great draw he is with the public and he's getting a bit tasty over Manny Pacquiao...
He's suffering from a grandiose delusion, the silly t

Yeah, I'd pay good money to see Khan and his porcelain chin get smashed up by Manny; along with a lot of the other paying audience.He's suffering from a grandiose delusion, the silly t

I enjoyed Jay from tgf's fight. They proper went at it. Just as fun to watch as pro fights. Infact better because it's not controlled at all. It just pure street fighting, it's quality. Well enjoyed.
That logan guy and Paul have some weird lean forward style, surprised they never got knocked out showing that much head. Clever boys though. 5.5m views on a £7.50 video and now a rematch. Very well played.

There has been a lot of negativity in some parts of the media about the Youtubers match with some saying it is not boxing.
I don't agree with any of that. If they trained seriously for it - which they clearly did - and they went in there with the fullest intentions to do their best then it is boxing. Any person who gets in the ring at whatever level deserves respect.
I haven't seen the fight but all reports suggests they both gave it a good go.

It's good for boxing, in that as long as it is a good entertainment, it will bring new fans to the sport. And youtube demographics are mostly kids. Plus better than 'urban' YouTubers who make rap bids dissing one another and then stab each other...
Not for me though, wouldn't pay to see any two celebs have a random fight. Plus have no idea who these people are!!
Rather see real sportsman, actual boxing talents.

It is remarkable how quickly Fury’s drugs ban seems to have been glossed over - compare and contrast with Canelo. Wilder was pretty vocal about Ortiz’s failed test in the lead-up to their fight in March; it’ll be interesting to see if he raises the subject should the fight with Fury get signed...
It amazes me how people forget that Joshua was the drug dealer with the criminal record not Fury, Fury will stop Wilder in 7 after he gets frustrated with not being able to land a glove on Fury. He will then give Joshua a lesson May next year. Similar age but Fury has been boxing since he was 5 Joshua only took it up when he luckily avoided prisonMerc 450 said:

I’m fairly sure most people with more than just a passing interest in the sport are aware of Joshua’s past. If it isn’t in the forefront of general public consciousness, perhaps it’s because the incident occurred over a year before anyone (other than amateur boxing aficionados) had ever heard of him...??
Or maybe it's because Joshua isn't a big white traveller Merc 450 said:

Or maybe it's because Joshua isn't a big white traveller When you also add in that the failed drugs test became public knowledge while Fury was reigning world champion, related to a test taken before he became world champion (so bringing into question the legitimacy of his subsequent achievements), and was for performance enhancing drugs, the virtual silence on that since Fury’s return has been at a complete variance to what you’re trying to insinuate about his treatment.
It’s also at the opposite end of the spectrum to how Canelo is being treated for a broadly comparable set of circumstances...his failed drugs test is now THE narrative around him...
