    The UK's censorship making it's way to the US?

    What does this mean for the future of boxing and combat sports in general? It's already made it's way to Canada, and we're starting to see elements of it in the US with the WBC investigating Wilder.

    Sky Sports wouldn't even show the replay of the Whyte-Browne KO because it was "too violent"

    Tyson Fury was outright banned from the UK (as well as anybody with balls to express their opinion)

    Even AJ in a sense tried to censor Wilder with his
    security/restraining order and his fanboys loved him for it.

    Now the UK fan boys are going after Wilder in full effect.


    That's one thing I hate about this current era, too many damn snowflakes. We've come a long way from Ali having tens of thousands of people chanting "Ali Bomaye!" (Ali Kill him) to Foreman when they fought or Tyson his plethora of comments.
    The UK is leading the charge, "if we don't like it, ban it!" and everyone is following suit.

    Weren't you and other yanks defending the extra long recovery wilder got in the Ortiz fight cause of safety reasons? And I find it hilarious how you lot make us out to be the snowflakes, America is pretty much the home of the social justice warrior movements lol, deluded if you think the states is the last bastion of masculinity.

        The UK is becoming rather dystopian if you ask me.

        But I'd rather not get political on here.

          I didnt know the WBC were UK fanboys. it isnt just the UK that had a problem with what he said lol.

          The US has a much worse snowflake societal culture than we do it isnt just in boxing.

          adding on to that last bit.. thats why fury got blackballed, not cos of his boxing or the coke or the nandrolone.. it was because right after he propelled himself into stardom by winning he said gays were the same as rapists and pedophiles in their "eternal damnation".

          bit different.

              The UK plays a major role in boxing, it's where it originated. The Snowflakes in the US take their cues from the UK.

              Sky Sports didn't even want to show the KO replay of Whyte-Browne because it was "too violent", when their 1 job was to show the replay. What's next?

                They showed replay after replay of the Szpilka-Wilder KO, the Marquez-Pac, etc.

                It's concerning when Sky Sports who's 1 job it is to show the replay, didn't want to do it because too many snowflakes would've been offended by it. What's the future of boxing when they don't even want to show brutal KO's anymore?


                The american snowflakes love and support the UK snowflakes who are leading the charge.

                  I think the UK would take that as a compliment, NYC recently saved Wilder by giving him a time out after the way Ortiz put it on him.... Guess the USA are the snowflakes then.

                    they were actually trying to help ortiz...who had punched himself out...they were trying to give ortiz more time to rest so he could try to continue his onslaught of wilder

                    big fail though...wilder put ortiz on his knees several times
