What time does the fight start ?
Is there anything else decent on the card ?

11.pm.
So after the unnecessary long ringwalks, it'll be around 23h45.

Last time they said that ended up being after half twelve.
To long between fight in these shows.

At least there is a chance fury’s will be entertaining

Anyone have a decent river for this?

I'm asking early doors but can go the distance with requests if needed

That Michael benson just tweeted ring walks at 10.30 , I’m guessing they’ve heard some negativity about the lateness and are pretending it’ll be earlier

Tbh ive no idea how this will go. Great fighter usyk but dubois showed body shots could be the weakness.

Got one 7 year old and his two mates here. Trying to drink myself into a coma

Spanish kids are so quiet.

Looks like the Saudis have figured out how to pace a show. It’s good to see fights are happening straight away instead of an hour like the previous card.

Wow that young heavyweight Moses Itauma can bang….first time I’ve seen him

Been reading about him. Nigerian father, Slovakian mother. Came to the UK as a toddler, sparred with Joshua as a grade 11 schoolkid ... albeit one who was 6'4" at 15

Aiming to beat Mike Tyson's record as the youngest heavyweight champion ever

Yeah…as I say first I’ve heard of him today, as I’m not an avid boxing fan, but from the comments on TV I got similar vibes to the rumours about Wayne Rooney when was coming through….a prodigious young talent who everyone in the game knew about….they were even talking about potential opponents like J Parker in next twelve months and as you say, possibly youngest ever world heavyweight champion….be certainly interesting to see how the next couple of years plays out for him

I've seen bits about him since he was an amateur. He won the European and world youths and never lost a fight as an amateur. I'm sure he won every fight by KO in one of the two as well. He's a brilliant talent. Doubt he beats Tyson's record though, that record is so difficult to beat.

What’s everyone watching on? Currently on DAZN cos the audio sounds better and can hear the crowd noises.

Agree…incredibly difficult record to beat that…not sure what the fight schedule is for someone like Moses given he’s not getting a lot of ring experience at present, but I remember back in the eighties, I’m sure Tyson was fighting every three to four weeks

I think he's fought about 9 times in a year or so but no chance he gets anywhere near a shot within a year.

Probably would need 3-4 really big wins to get close to a shot and then you'd need a champion to be available.
