    Fury v Joshua announced.

    Fight in Saudi. Pair of blistering ball bags.

    Manny Pacquiao - gonna miss him when he’s gone. Treasure every round you watch him because he’s a one in a million across combat sports.

    Absolute legendary throwback fighter. Could, and by almost any measure should, be kicking back, shaping his political career and reaping the rewards of a few decades of quite literally fighting his way from poverty to global icon.

    But he’s still here taking on the best the sport has to offer, and you just know he’ll go looking for it in the ring as well. Legend.

    And against some of the best in the sport, who are consistently bigger than him. I wouldn’t have any issues if he wanted to just take money fights now - an MMA fighter or a celebrity/Youtuber. Guys absolutely earned the right.

    I’m 10 years younger and just thinking about his career makes me feel tired :giggle1:

    Disgusting that it's no been picked up by a big station..

    No staying up for it but hopefully wake up to a good youtube of it in the morning..

    I think Taylor wins and might stop him..

    Ramirez deffo seems to be a bit unsure of how to take Taylor's aura and confidence in the buid up. It's no just bravado either, it's just pure belief in his ability..

    I'm swithering whether to get it and stay up for it but the 0400 ring walk is putting me off. This fite tv mob are saying you can get it with replays and no spoilers but if you're not watching it live it kinda defeats purpose of getting it.

    Taylor was the same with Davies, the build up for that was angry as *, and Davies massively under estimated him. I can see Taylor walking through Ramirez.

    The politics in Boxing btw. * *.

    After a long drawn out affair, Joshua and Fury agree a fight. Days later thats all out in the air cause a court rules that Fury must fight Wilder again and Wilder won't step aside (understably) for Fury-Joshua to fight. Now because of the apparent collapse of of Fury fight, Joshua ordered to fight Usyk (Dangerous af fight for Joshua in my opinion). Maybe one day we'll see Fury v Joshua

    Was a bit worried for him after rounds 3/4/5 thoughts Ramirez was looking the better fighter. But brilliant 2nd half of the fight from Taylor. Should have won by more, but no matter. Undisputed

    Phenomenal achievement..

    His record is stacked for someone who's had what, 18 pro fights..

    18 pro fights fucksake and it's no like he's fought about 16 bums. He's fought everyone and took risky fights from early on and cleaned out the whole division already :notworthy

    Undisputed and unified the division. I was that confident he'd win last night and that was against another undefeated fighter with the other belts, in practically his own backyard..

    Shows how special a fighter he is. Never had a dull fight either..

    People might no like some of his antics away from boxing but he's one of the p4p best in the world and Scotland's greatest sportsman currently by far..
