They should arm wrestle or play a game of chess for the purse bids to bring attention to it .

Usyk has that Frank Warren looks in his eyes. Seen things I bet.

Hearn has been winning or agreeing deals last min very often last six months. Won’t surprise me if this ends up a late deal too.

I can see frank trying to put it on ppv so I hope Eddie gets it on dazn

Stiff-Old-Slow-Joe is another Brit that is about to lose his 0. I dont see any of the champions and contenders from the UK coming-out with a win this year.

Well if AJ fights Fury there has to be one!!

Would really love to see Joyce fight Wilder. He has one of the toughest chins in boxing, and a good jab that would give Wilder problems, but I it'd b interesting to see if wilder could actually hurt him.

Huge Usyk fan, but I am tired of every article about this fight referring to the armature fight. That means nothing in the pro game. I like Usyk's chances here, but Joyce will have a big power advantage and that probably was not the case when they were young. There is a reason you reset to 0-0 when you turn pro.

I'm intrigued by this. I dont think either of them are very good at boxing but it would make for a very good fight.

Well with garbage like Ortiz vs 173rd fighter in the world headlining in the States as the best they can produce chance of the spinless Americans losing ;-)

I guess you were one if the ones who cheered when Wilder fought some who lost their last 6 fights in his 23rd fight and refused to fight Klitschko in his 33rd because he was a baby heavyweight. Keeping your 0 is for an American fighter.
