      So much ado about nothing. It's annoying.
      Eddie Hearn could make Brit fans sing Sweet Caroline no matter what garbage fight he puts up.
      Don't know why he gets away with Benn vs Heerden level fights without getting bashed.

        Usyk beating Joshua is going to make this deal look like a huge waste of money.

        Which is why Usyk might get robbed on the cards or with a super quick ref stoppage.

          Exclusive deals are bad for boxing, but unfortunately are everywhere at Boxing's upper levels. As someone else pointed out, this is swapping one exclusive deal for another, so no sea change in how things stand, apart from possibly for Sky.

          Can't begrudge Joshua taking the money for this deal. Taking the deal to fight in the Middle East leaves a worse taste.

            That and a country that really needs a a star in the sport for the sport to be healthy. Olafemi isn’t what so many claimed he was or hoped he was but certainly he appeals to the man worshipping types

                      Usyk is a really bad style matchup for joshus

                      High cardio uses the whole ring

                      Josh prob lose again
