Comments Thread For: Peter Fury Gives Take on Joshua Facing Ruiz in Saudi Arabia

[Digital Mouth]

In that heat and humidity AJ will gas out in three rounds!

Oh well at least the money is good.

What are the drug testing procedures like for a boxing fight held in Saudi Arabia?

Idk about how their testing is, but I heard if you get caught as punishment they cut off your right bicep.

Is this the Peter Fury who faked Baby Hughie's injury to avoid coming to NZ to face Oilskin Parker then tried to bullshot their way to a title in Manchester with some of the ugliest boxing ever seen after Oilskin was forced to travel to the UK ?

I’ve been to Saudi Arabia and Qatar in December and can say from first hand knowledge it still gets up to 100+ degree temperatures in the winter time there..... This was Hearn way of getting a big cash grab off his meal ticket one last time, you don’t take a guy with stamina issues to a desert especially a guy with Joshua physique

I live in Dubai and spend 2 weeks a month working in Riyadh. The city is in the middle of a desert, in December at night it gets bloody cold. I’ve never seen it higher than 32 degrees c in the middle of the day in December/Jan, and I’ve lived here for more than a decade.

Well Joshua didn’t have to leave the UK, I agree with Peter Fury, but did you see the abuse he was getting for not crossing over to America? He had no choice since he was being frozen out by the top names at HW, even the lure of multiple payday couldn’t convince his American rivals to leave their comfort zone.

The promoters of the event would probably bring in a separate commission to oversee the fight and probably bring VADA or something like that in for the testing protocol. This is a Matchroom event so am expecting everything to be stacked in Joshua’s side. The priority for them is get those belts back at all cost 😂

How about people who are not (at least not currently) enslaving other people?

Well then that eliminates U.S.A. Slavery is 100 percent alive and legal here.

Literally any nation that's actually interested in boxing. Kazakhstan would've made more sense. Even China, its really coming on there. Japan is a mecca of boxing in itself, a guaranteed sellout crowd of passionate fans right there.

I would like Tokyo for Ruiz vs AJ II, in memory of Tyson vs Douglas. And the Japanese love their fighting. The perfect city/country for this one, imo.

Yeah that was what I had in mind too, I mean why not? They love boxing and you can make some top class fights for the undercard using locals. The Japanese national scene is the most competitive in the world, there are consistently world level fights that happen at the local level early all the time in Japan. My favourite boxing nation outside of my own tbh.

Which nut job have you been listening to?
