George Groves didn’t really have a promoter throughout his career, bounced around a few. Most are absolute dodge pots! Higgins springs to mind! Also know a boxer who is owed fortunes by Kelly Maloney and Warren has trouble putting on big shows as he owes a fortune to the Met Police which he keeps trying to avoid paying! They’ve refused to police his events!
I wouldn’t say so, he could potential get frustrated as they couldn’t execute what he teaches as he will hold everyone to his standard
also a coach really needs to be first in the gym and last out. If he was any type of coach it would be dropping in and out as a consultant. Couldn’t see him spending hours in the gym prepping things for his fighter, wrapping hands etc
plus if you look at those sparring sessions he presided over in his gym he doesn’t have enough compassion to be a coach
Such an odd interview which isn’t unusual for Fury.
cant work out if he’s in a good place mentally or not?
does make me doubt if the AJ fight will be made?
In the English speaking world it may seem exaggerated, but No Puedes Jugar Boxeo, which is the current defacto New Media YouTube source for Hispanic Boxing, revisited the Clenbuterol case, and again, Clenbuterol was amended in 2019 to ALLOW 2ng as a threshold for meat contamination cases. Canelo had .6ng. His “second” test was depleted at .06ng.
the boxing world needs to realize that every athlete in the world could in theory exploit countries with high cultures of Clen in livestock. WADA would’ve already taken these scenarios in advance before amending it.
I took it for a while to cut weight and it certainly didn’t help me! I kept getting cramp every ten minutes!
no idea how it could help a boxer?
I must have been taking it wrong!
This is a smart move by Paul he is seen as an underdog as no one takes him seriously. He has then picked the most successful MMA fighter with the worst stand up!
So it will look quite impressive if he wins!
Despite how bad Askrens boxing is at the highest level of MMA surely he has enough to beat Paul? I don’t know??
Posters on here actually think Arbitration is the WBC and athletic commission on here and can stop Fury from fighting .
statutes of limitations could also be in arbitration here because the pre existing contract had a deadline to get the fight done with extensions already well used so that could be used depending on what kind of arbitration is taking place . I’ve detailed what mostly is easy to know ,anyone thinking Wilder can enforce a fight is desperate or desperately trying to be right .
Who is even doing this arbitration? The court of arbitration for sport? Which jurisdiction?
The first I heard it was mediation! Are people not just confusing this with arbitration? I haven’t read one article to say who/what is deciding or ruling on this matter?
People are talking about this being an issue!? This arbitration means nothing! They can physically make Fury fight Wilder, they can’t physically stop the AJ v Fury fight.
whatever they want to go and do they will. All it means, if they rule in favour of Wilder, they might rule a fight should take place, which again you can’t make someone do! So when there order is ignored, Wilder can sue them and get some money! Based on the figures the AJ Fury fight will generate it will be peanuts!
realistically after the beating Wilder took, what would his purse be for the fight? 10m Max? Just pay him that to piss off
I've thought about that Vegan diet from Bradly and wondered if it actually did something to power. You look at Bradly and he looks like a body builder yet can't crack, whereas you look at Rios/Maidana who looks like they enjoy that carne asada and have no muscle, yet bang
Na, for me you can’t look at someone with muscle and say they should be able to bang!
sometimes it’s counterproductive as them end up too stiff and it slows then down
It only ends one of two ways. Either Wilder lands first and knocks Jones out with one shot (see: Ray Mercer vs Tim Sylvia), or he misses and Jones takes him down and embarrasses him (see: Randy Couture vs James Toney)
Agree that Wilder has a chance if he can land first but if you had to put money on it, Jones all day and it would be brutal!
Stipe said it when talking about Paul vs Askren, if you get into shit with someone on the street and he has cauliflower ears....walk away!
sound advice!
o yea def
just look at ruiz and joshua or even check out bautista's first mma fight, that was pathetic
Haha it was! The very definition of what Fury would call a ‘stiff idiot’
I was listening to five live boxing podcast today and realised there was actually a boxing event on BT sport this weekend. Firstly, I was shocked given that usually I know when fights are on, even the Italian ones on dazn! So makes me wonder how and where the promotion for this event was at all. But then they went on to defend Tommy fury fighting someone who was 0-9 in previous fights? I know bunce works for BT but surely that is indefensible? Matchroom have managed to put on a lot more close fights since the lockdown, arguably many less high profile fights but definitely more competitive. So how do you compete by putting fights like that on?
who does frank actually look after of interest to anyone now, I can’t actually think of anyone obvious at all. Kid Galahad maybe? Tyson fury remember is not looked after by frank so I don’t include him.
what’s others views ? Do you think it’s time he passed on to someone younger and fresher to the business similar to Barry passing the baton into Eddie a number of years ago?
Jack Catterall, Joe Joyce.....anyone else??
he is scraping the barrel a bit!
Go watch his training videos BEFORE this where he throws hands. You could suggest he's sandbagging with his current videos that are disturbingly bad & don't know the guy, but he's had garbage boxing since day 1 in MMA.
Supposedly K9 Bundrage is fooking with him for this fight, but idk if there is enough time to help this mofo do anything except survive longer.
Think his wresting was that good he really neglected his stand up! Paul has chosen smartly
Talking about confidence while walking to the ring...
Talking about never letting the moment get too big....
Talking about how nerves are nowhere to be found once the bell rings...

What a joke. Do they think we've never seen this guy fight before, like especially vs Ruiz in what was the biggest moment of his career. Who tf authorized this commercial at under armor.
Hahahah what a weird little man you must be!
AJ is the HW champion of the world, twice over but you in your mams basement feel the right to criticise him?
yeah he’s not perfect, yeah he got stopped by Ruiz, but who has more right to do an advert like that, you or him
have you never made one mistake in your life? What have you achieved that’s worth talking about? Knocking out 40 wanks in one day?
Stop replying to me then. It's so sad how you keep wanting attention from me. Anyways I can't chat further unlike you I have my own life going on.
Hahaha have you just repeated what I said? Original!!
Rent free!! All day hahaha
Vlassov is bigger, longer, more experience, and much slicker then joe.
I can see him outpointing the long island stallion.
Good fight this, looking forward to it
? I'm not a little man by any means. I'm successful in practically any way one would define it as well.
Leave it to insecure AJ buttboy fans to be offended over this thread though. It shows how stupid and insecure all of you fa.gs are.
If there was a commercial with Wilder talking about the 'sweet science' of boxing, I would make a similar thread.
Or a commercial with Canelo talking about the importance of never taking tainted supplements.
This content being spoken about by AJ is a fu.cking JOKE. Anyone who follows boxing knows that. Keep sucking off another man though. I really wish I could slap you little bit.ches in real life.
Hahaha what a whopper!
Im by no means an AJ fan boy, I can take him or leave him
just the fact you criticise someone who is at the pinnacle of a sport is a bit laughable
He is the real deal. Only old heads refuse to give him props. I would love to see him again McGregor or Canelo.
Madness! What has he done to suggest that? He’s beaten a youtuber and a basketballer, both in their first fights.
Now he has beaten an old welterweight wrestler with awful stand up. Don’t get me wrong as Askren has reached the top of a sport which involves a lot of stand up (potentially) so I have to give him a small element of credit.
But let’s be honest, he hasn’t proven anything yet, he could have potential to be the second coming or he doesn’t even reach area title level, who knows.
Hes certainly not taking it seriously though, if he was he would be calling out fighters (actual boxers) who are in his weight division!
What is he? Cruiser? Why is he calling out people like Mcgreggor? For the money essentially
If not he would be calling out people at his weight class and let’s be honest the first ‘boxer’ he fights at his weight will beat him
I'm talking about the UK version. They don't show PPVS if they're on Sky e.g. Conor/Vargas.
It’s just down to the sky deal with matchroom, see if that gets renewed or not, if not then it’s likely to go up to £10 a month but you will get all the shows that would normally be on sky
or if matchroom renew with sky then nothing will change!
This deluded idiot needs to get over himself. He's just a narcissistic spoilt brat with a rich daddy.
Why would you have him as your avatar and strapline?
I get you don’t like him but why would your whole identity on this forum be about dissing him?
Is that not the sort of thing he would love? Seems a bit sad?
But y'all want us to think he's a credible opponent? Nonsense.
What a stupid argument!? Canelo lost every round against Khan before he knocked him out!
A lot of fighters are happy to lose rounds at stages of fights, means nothing!
I've obviously hit a nerve. I clearly upset you by insulting Hearn. I know how you mis-matchroom casuals take it personally when I insult Eddie.
Say what you like, couldn’t care, just feel sorry for you mate! I will leave it at that cos unlike you I have my own life going on!
Keep obsessing and being consumed with negativity
I'm having a laugh. It's just a bit of fun for me, I don't take it seriously and I can just see through him.
What's sad is how you Hearn fluffers run to his aid and take every criticism of him so personally. That's so pathetic.
If you’re having a laugh fair enough, it’s just a bit sad.
certainly not a Hearn fan, can take him or leave him.
I've seen you dlck ride Eddie plenty of times. Spare me the bullshlt. You're just sad. I hope I didn't hurt your feelings too much insulting Barry's son.

Not really the blokes a twat but a half decent promoter, that’s about it.
Certainly wouldn’t hurt my feelings, I’m not an emotionally involved sad act like you
Keep wasting your own life talking negatively about others
This dude likely did a line of coke in the restroom the way he rubbing and sniffing his nose. Pacman used to do cocaine, Chavez sr, Oscar still does cocaine, the charlo brothers, the Benevidez brothers and their father do cocaine, whats with boxers and that white powder?

It’s not boxers, it’s society! Everyone is at it these days!
Why isn't he a real boxer? He has a license to fight, he has a pro record.
I mean if you and everyone else acknowledge Mayweather's 50th win, then we are acknowledging Paul's fights.
Because he hasn’t faced a ‘boxer’ yet!
Haye gets a lot of flack on this site for his antics and not being able to deliver in the Wlad and Bellew fights, but he was a very legit CW, and a pretty good Heavy. He had a great KO over a prime Chisora and was the first to official beat Valuev. In his prime I think the Usyk fight at CW is a pick 'em 50/50 type of a thing.
Agree he gets a lot of grief unnecessarily! Prob down to his personality and some poor fights towards the end. He was the first boxer I really got behind, was at the macranelli fight and ended up going to Germany to watch Wlad fight Chagaev when Haye pull out! (Was all booked at that stage)
He was a beast in his prime and great to watch
I think he absolutely is top 10. The division is just ****ing awful. Parkers performance vs old Chisora just further emphasizes it.
I think that’s proving the OP point!? Poor showing last night, yet he had enough to beat Ruiz
