I say the Mascot has a passing resemblance to Tyson Fury.

Not being a boxing fan, I'd have lost my house on the Scouser being the fella on the left and the Mexican guy being on the right

It's a bit like with Louis CK. You'd never have guessed, but once you know it seems obvious!

Fury got a bit of a schooling. Hopefully the other one will get one soon as well.

wtf was that from Fury, i couldn't watch after 3 rounds, looked totally abnormal for a boxer in there.

I think Hughie Fury is a godawful "boxer" but he has been found out now so tats the end of that.

The other fury riles me to ****, and I detest the man, but the poxy cunt could box, and in fairness I hope he smashes Wilder because he is also a gobby mental cunt.

I hope Fury wins that and then gets smashed to oblivion by AJ.

For what its worth I think the Fury Wilder fight is 60/40 to Wilder due to the lack of good ring time by Fury. Easily could go either way though.

Whichever of them faces Joshua gets battered though.

Absolute joke, two fighters who have never and probably will never (certainly in Chisora's case) win a world title but the only way they can apparently fight now is on PPV.

Frampton Warrington is BT PPV on the same night as well. Boxing must be the only sport where people tolerate being ripped off, the weird thing is I think some people actually prefer stuff to be PPV. Put a card on sky sports, people be like "meh" but the exact same card on PPV and it makes people feel like it's a special event and they want to pay for it. It totally baffles me.

The first fight was excellent like you say and this will be too but can't we have something decent on sky sports for once?! I remember in the build up to Whyte Parker and Hearn was asked why it's PPV and his reasoning was "Dillian deserves the pay day", even his salesman self couldn't conjure up anything decent.

The prices have gradually gone up as well and no doubt when Joshua faces Wilder or Fury that'll start another rise to £25 - £30 which will become the norm. It's an absolute piss take.

It's just totally out of control now and everyone and everything wants a piece, even ITV were doing it, Eubank JR v a bum, PPV, even two foreigners fighting in Usyk and Gassiev, great fight but PPV? **** off.

My mate is like that. I laughed so hard when he bought the Haye-Valuev fight and was pissed off that it was so crap.

There's only one heavyweight fight worth paying for in December.
