Add the 2 after their names and a Pocket-Lint link comes up and says it's on DAZN in the US at $59.99 on PPV.
Not to be contentious at all, but I would love to see it from a primary source.
The fight is on DAZN in the United States. It's only on Sky in the UK and Ireland. Not sure if it's a PPV for you lot, but it's there on DAZN.
I know there are a lot of sources that suggest that, but I don't think so. You can even go to https://www.dazn.com/en-US/home and see that there's nothing about Joshua-Usyk II.
To anyone claiming that DAZN is carrying this fight -- can you provide a recent, primary source? I'm still incredulous.
Odd that there doesn't seem to be overwhelming amount of concern amongst stateside fans that the fight will be unavailable.
Commenting without reading the article eh?
Commenting without having the IQ to understand someone's point?
If it's only fair that air time should be commensurate with revenue, then the conclusion is that women's boxing should never be aired. Changing the female's format from 2-min rounds to 3-min rounds is not a move towards equality, it's a move in the opposite direction for it would amount to even greater subsidization from the men's boxing business.
yawn, not a very exciting fight to look forward to i would say
Totally agree. If they had said January, I’d be up for it. But to wait until we are damn-near halfway through 2024 before Loma makes Kambosos look like a YouTuber? I’m pretty virile for my age but nobody can remain erect for that long.
Lack of money is an attribute of poverty, not its cause. It’s caused by a certain mentality. This is why giving money to lottery winners, welfare recipients and most boxers never results in the growth of wealth.
His management of range is key and has an almost artistic optic to it. And he seems so lucid in the ring. I recall seeing a slow-motion sequence where he was punching with Zurdo and there was such fearlessness and clarity in his eyes. Even the best of boxers can show panic in those moments.
Thank you, BoxingScene, for giving press to these lower weight divisions. I’d like to see more of it! And, for the record, much less about Tyson Fury, among many, many others.
I agree completely the problem is that idiot Sergio Mora hes a joke he acted like Nery was wobbled and out of it when in reality he was getting hit yes but he was slipping a lot of shots that glanced and always moving. He was always aware and never really untrouble unlike AZAt who was out on his feet several times.
Sergio mora is a piece of **** dazn needs to get rid of him asap can't stand that moron.
I didn’t see the fight — it sounds like I should have — but just dropping in to say that I agree. I can’t stand Sergio Mora. His commentary is banal. He constantly criticizes the fighters like he was some kind of boxing genius. Plus, he doesn’t even have a great voice! It doesn’t cut through, it’s got this featureless, monotone quality to it.
Rolly was winning the fight clearly just on pressure, are you blind? The pressure had Tank going back to ultimate basics of trying to land a counter Hail Mary that was so obvious it was disgusting. Get on the bike, plant, wait for shot, counter, rinse/repeat. Zero disguise, pure desperation.
Calculated? Stank was in desperation mode and if he didn't catch Rolly he could have lost on points or scraped a measley 115-113 win.
Pressure and disregarding safety are worlds apart.
I'm really sick and tired of this tribal fan mentality. Once you peope become a fan you will make up any and all excuses for your man. It's disgusting.
Ryan is clearly going to pressure Tank all night, but this time when Stank tries those parlor tricks he's going to get caught.
Agreed. The partisanship is so over-the-top and irrational it verges on homoerotic at times.
There are boxers who have the IQ to set traps (like Gervonta Davis), there are others who can set traps on traps (like Lomachenko and Mayweather), and then there are boxers like Ryan. He is mostly sound in his basics, has a major weapon, but otherwise almost completely lacks the IQ to be great. Davis beat him by using very basic tactics and counters.
I just don’t think a boxer, or really any athlete, can go from playing checkers to mastering chess once he’s reached some level of athletic maturity. You have to be groomed for that shït. And changing trainers every other fight isn’t going to change that.
Proper lesson in what? A close fight that could’ve gone either way? Too many of you casuals just watched highlights of the 9th round and didn’t watch Usyk getting dissected beforehand.
I disagree with “getting dissected.” On the one hand, Usyk seemed impatient to get inside on Fury. At the same time, It looked to me like Fury had watched tape and learned that Usyk has a strong tendency to dip to his left. Against most HWs, this type of movement isn’t a problem for Usyk because his opponents have been much much slower than Fury. But Fury was sitting on the shovel hook and ended up connecting enough to where Usyk became gun-shy and frustrated. Once Usyk made the adjustment by moving more to his right and varying the depth of those dips, he went back to work. Likely studying tape of his own, he knew that Fury’s imperfect shoulder roll combined with his tendency to stay on the ropes made him quite vulnerable to a southpaw straight/overhand left. And this was very sequence that put Fury on queer street.
All in all, great scrap!
I truly believe you should be the change you want to see in the world. And that’s why I didn’t buy the fight.
Do the boxing world a favor — quit supporting shït fights.
For as slow as Joyce looks, hes quicker thank you think and is one agile mofo. Hes going to get rid of the communist by the 6th
+1 for calling him “the communist.” Kind of gives it a Rocky IV vibe, which I dig.
I like this fight. I expect Tim to win, but Richard Ramirez will definitely bring it.

“Killing is killing whether done for duty, profit or fun.” ~ Fundora
He’s just inviting people to make the comparison. That’s so idiotic. It makes Joshua appear even more clumsy and sluggish and lackluster and unaccomplished than he already is.
The lame King Ry collapse against Tank wrote him off in my eyes, but even before that his problem wasn’t a mystery.
Boy’s trying to be a permanent teenager. This is a viable path in hallucinatory America if you have enough money, looks and attention. (Just ask any influencer with an ass out to here.) All he’s lacking is a brain.
Haney should put him out of his misery. But who’s going to put us out of our Haney misery? Instead of all this fake hand-wringing about “is this fight good for boxing? Is it safe? Who’s to blame etc” we should be asking how the sport is getting saddled with another dull-ass Dre.
Agree 100% and for the record, this is a really well-written post. I like good writing.
Mental illness is fake. I’ve heard it all now in my lifetime.
You should probably learn about the brain, chemicals and behavior. We’ve learned quite a bit since that book came out, neuroscience has advanced 20-fold.
The evidence we have today makes his viewpoints unworthy of serious arguments. It would pretty much be on par with arguing with a flat-Earther.
At the time that he released that book, 1961, we didn’t understand the brain like we did now. For example, we couldn’t identify mental illnesses in autopsy’s. Now we can. Mental illness is now physically measureable in the brain. His book is based on science of the brain for its time. He was trying to explain why the science is how it is…in his own time. You can’t go around parading that book in 2024 with what we have discovered today.
Lots to unpack here:
To say something is better because it's newer is an example of the appeal to novelty fallacy. It comes from the pervasive, mostly unconscious, and extremely vain, belief in progressivism, which is a feature of modernism that asserts that our culture -- art, philosophy, science, quality of life -- always improves over time.
Invoking flat-earth ideas here is an example of association fallacy.
When examining a brain during autopsy, how do you know that the neurotransmitter imbalance caused the depression? Can't you just as easily assert the opposite: the depression caused the neurotransmitter imbalance? And since you can't prove either one, your theory -- which I guess is that psychological issues are nothing but neurological issues -- is example of 'assuming the conclusion' fallacy. In other words, your evidence only proves your premise when you assume that your premise is true. It's an example of circular reasoning.
I never said that "mental illness is fake." My point was that the disease model of psychology is a misinterpretation of reality. That which underlies what people call depression, anxiety, schizophrenia can be quite real. These are problems of the soul. They're not diseases and shouldn't be treated like diseases; nor should they ever be used as an excuse to escape personal responsibility, which, to bring us back to the article at hand, is exactly what Frank Warren is doing for Tyson Fury.
Did anyone think that the advice given in Ramirez’s corner was shit? The trainer sounded like he was speaking to Zurdo’s ego, not his self, telling him that Bivol can’t hang in the phone boot with him and specifically not telling him that he was losing the fight. (I always wonder if certain trainers make their living by stroking egos, which can’t be hard since it’s so easy for boxers to be egomaniacal.) I suppose the comical part was that all the while, Zurdo’s eyes betrayed an increasing look of capitulation until he just looked…absent.
The worst thing about this card is Top Rank again forcing Nico Walsh on the fans.
You probably don’t know this but . . . did you know he’s . . . wait for it . . . Muhammad Ali’s grandson?!?!?!?
And one time, he even wore grandpa’s trunks to a fight!!!!!
You have to say that his issue is mental. You might say he’s not the most skilled fighter to come along but in watching the Prograis fight, you can’t say he’s untalented. But in the Catteral fight, and now the Lopez fight, you could almost see the tunnel-vision in his eyes. He lacked poise, appeared panicked, made bad choices, and abandoned tactics and strategy. It’s like fear has gotten into him in a way that he can’t get out. Too bad because he used to be fun and inspiring to watch.
When is his wife not glued to his side ?
Anyway Wilder is a weird guy talks all nonsense just about every chance he gets he was talking about this just 2 days prior to the fight .
Deontay Wilder has revealed he wants FIFTY children - but fears he won't be able to find enough women.
Former heavyweight world champion Wilder has eight children - five girls and three boys - including four with ex-wife Jessica Scales. He is now engaged to model Telli Swift and wants to add at least four more kids
“I have eight,” he said. “I want four more. Twelve is an even number for me. I want 50. Twelve would be my ideal number, but I would love 50 but I’d have to find the women to do that. Unfortunately my wife is only one woman, so I might have to move over here and become a muslim and give me more wives.”
I think his wife actually is his baby sitter .
Genghis Con!
Just wait until the Woke turn their sights on boxing. All it’s going to take is a guy with a high cultural profile to be killed or become retarded. Then the Matriarchy will sink its teeth in. It’ll become the talking point on CNN and 60 Minutes. They’ll call it an outdated and racist vestige of toxic masculinity. Hollywood will make a movie in which Will Smith (an ironic choice these days given his pugilistic tendencies) plays a fictional doctor who examines Bobby Chacon, predicts his demise (as if that would take a genius), blows the whistle, and nobody listens.
So I say, if this is truly about ensuring that extreme mismatches don’t produce horrific injuries, I’m all for it.
Boxers not only have to show courage. To be great, they have to show courage under fire. Merely stepping into the ring against a Benevidez takes immense courage. But Andrade appeared to panic and he fell for that classic paradox in which the fear of something — in this case getting hurt — makes you more likely to fall victim to it. Too bad because the fight could have been great.
Which network in the US is carrying this fight?
Any date and time (ET) you can provide?
I looked it up earlier today. It’s ESPN+ and I think it’s at 9am ET. It’ll be a helluva nice fight to enjoy with my morning coffee.
