Let's hope Usyk Fury happens, could be a good one that

I'm sure Hearn will sort AJ another easy route to a title fight, that he will loose again. He could fight Wilder, that I would love to see but that will never happen.

After his emotional breakdown, his choice, but as for throwing the belts out of the ring, that is disrespectful to the sport, there are far better fighters than him who have owned them with pride, and rightly so

yes Joshua again had a corner telling him he was wining every round leading him to think he had won
but stealing the real winners moment was so wrong

Fury would beat both of them on the same night,it makes me laugh when people say Fury dodged AJ .Fury then went on to beat the hardest hitting and most dangerous one punch heavyweight 3 times

And that's after a complete mental breakdown, off the rails, 30 stone, massive weight loss etc, that's what makes it so incredible for me

Make a great film that, sex, drugs, rock and roll and fighting

I will say one thing for Joshua, great role model for the kids, mountain of a man, can't knock him for that

As for Usyk, for a 16 stone man, incredible level of fitness, those last 3 rounds he just upped the game, looked like he could have done 15 at a breeze

He was until he had his sulk last night and gave that stupid speech for BLM.I lost all respect for him after that,funny how no one took a knee in football for the 87year old killed on his mobility scooter a few days ago by a 40 odd year blackman

Boxing will give people more self discipline and respect for others than any sport I can think of. Joshua was down and out, on his arse, doomed for a life of crime, he got hisself out of it, respect the man for that, it's a pathway for others, same as any sport, a normal kid who has done well for himself, multi millionaire, ideal role model for me, got off his arse and done something with his life!

Broke down in the post fight press conference too, would you belive it, a 17 stone man in tears, that's reality. I condone what he did with the belts, it takes a bigger man to admit he was wrong and he did but I guess that's emotions, passion and life

Wonder what they said when Ali threw the belt off the bridge, or maybe Joshua was just trying to copy him but couldn't find a bridge

Shame he didn't show that passion and anger during the fight.He has got no heart in the ring,look at Edwards this weekend vs Usman.Edwards showed heart,guts and passion and he caused a sensational upset knocking Usman out

Appears so in the ring, Frank Bruno seemed the same, you could say lacking that killer instinct?

Everybody is different, was evident at the end, I think the pressure is too much for him myself sadly

When you are at that level and with that much wealth I don't think money really comes into it? it's the challenge

Your right, he lost to the better man on two occasions but the sad bit, he seemed more bothered about the social media backlash which is pretty ****ing sad that it even comes into it, very sad indeed but that is a sign of the times, the cyber generation
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
