Ffs, an alarm job then!! No chance of me making it staying up. Just away to a bbq and straight out for the football.

Edit. Just saw it’s on for an hour at 9 tomorrow morning. A better choice I think

Time and inactivity has caught up with JT, he's a long way from his prime against Prograis unfortunately

Aye, 15 months out was far too long. I thought when he took this fight he’d made a mistake, a confidence booster at home would have made more sense. I don’t see where he goes from here.

[Pretty Boy]

He's never making 140 again. When he turned up at his training camp massively out of shape before the Caterall fight it had alarm bells ringing and there have been Ricky Hatton vibes about his last 2 performances. That speed and snap looks faded and killing yourself to make weight will make that happen all the earlier.

A move up to 147 puts him in with some real top tier fighters and I'm not sure he offers enough from a marketing point of view to lure any of them into the ring. He's got some rebuilding to do now. Depending on how things pan out over the next few months maybe a domestic showdown with someone like Conor Benn is his best bet albeit that comes loaded with risk if he loses.

Confidence builder for AJ ahead of Wilder

To be honest, it wouldnt surprise me if he lost, he shouldnt but he could. Who really wants to pay to watch it, it's never going to be at a wembley or Saudi where the fighters will earn mega money, and pay per view does not look inviting to me.

AJ still has a huge following. There’s clearly needle between the 2 and Whyte is probably a better fighter than he was the first time while AJ isn’t as dynamic.

Hearn has said the Wilder fight is now locked in for December if he beats whyte so lots of pressure on AJ. He can’t afford to lose if he wants to remain in the conversation for top 3-4 in the division.

Aye AJ does have a huge following, he does need a fight before Wilder, but this match up does not get my juice flowing.

[Mon Dieu4]

AJ needs to show something in the Whyte fight he hasn't done since he lost to Ruiz and that's a ruthless streak and aggression, I always thought in their prime that a fight between him and Wilder would be down to whoever landed big first, unless he shows he's still got it in the bag then I fear he will try and outbox Wilder for 12 rounds which isn't hard but leaves you open for a bomb coming in the other direction that ends it all

It would be hard for AJ as he gasses after about 4 rounds theses days. I think Whyte has a decent chance of winning their fight....he'll be up for it, that's for sure. It's actually a decent match up IMHO.

Not sure I agree with that. He won the middle rounds against Usyk including 9, 2 fights ago. It was the last 3 that he fell away.

AJ doesn’t give himself the chance to gas out these days. Regardless, I think he will box holes in Whyte who is well past his best and gets hurt in every fight

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Whyte had his moments in the 1st fight when AJ was the golden boy. There's every chance he beats him 2nd time round

People perhaps forgetting that Whyte is ranked 6 in the world, he's no mug. There will be a lot at stake for both fighters, I think it's a decent match up.

He's looked scared to get hit since that Ruiz fight

Tyson Fury: WBC heavyweight champion to face MMA star Francis Ngannou - BBC Sport

Former UFC heavyweight champion Ngannou, 36, has no professional record in boxing.

Team Fury say the fight is not an exhibition and will "take place under the official rules of professional boxing, with three judges ringside adopting the 10-point must system".


aye it is

Fury will not be defending his WBC title in the Riyadh bout.


money money money

[cameronw-hfc]

Fury vs Ngannou booked. Shame Fury won't do a rematch clause in MMA, he's going to win the boxing match, and despite claiming he would win the MMA fight has backed away from that one.

In fairness, for his own health, probably the right decision. He would get seriously hurt in MMA, and Francis whilst not an elite boxer, is a striker with (at one point- might have changed) the hardest recorded punch from a human.

Will look like Fury Wilder imo. Fury will be faster and slicker and will just need to avoid getting clipped, which he should.

Well seeing he's ran away from the MMA fight he wanted with Jones as well, as Jones might actually kill him in there.

Didn't see you posted this before I did! Fury talked a big game about 2 fights, one in MMA and one in Boxing. Somehow I don't think we will see the MMA one ever. He knows what will happen.

Props to Francis though. Another MMA fighter not scared to go Boxing and try their luck, just wish we seen it the other way around more often, although I'd bet not a single boxer alive beats any UFC fighter in the cage. Not a single one.

[Pretty Boy]

Easy money for Fury, doesn't matter how hard the guy hits, actually landing clean on Fury is the hard part. He's made guys with 20 or 30 pro fights under their belts look like mugs at times. He'll box his head off, obviously it would be different in a cage but it's not in a cage for that very reason.

A total disappointment. The fact neither Joshua or Usyk got over the line and we have an exhibition instead leaves me cold on Fury. He has what it takes to beat anyone in the division but his bank balance seems more important than his legacy. Fair enough I suppose.

The WBC need to get a mandatory sorted sharpish as that is a nonsense that has gone on too long.

Anyone who believed Tyson Fury was going to fight MMA needs their head looking at.

No one is killing fury in a octagon. No way they stand up and use hand against a professional boxer. They would get him down and submit him inside 30 seconds. It would be ridiculous and boring.

It'll be equally boring in the ring to be fair. Fury will dance about and win with one arm behind his back.

Boxing and mma are two completely different sports. It's like saying who would win and Murray or John Higgins if they played each other at each sport.

It's so silly that it's utterly disrespectful to the boxers who have worked their whole lives to become top 10. Mayweather was semi retired when he took on his daft exhibitions. Fury is WBC champ, he should lose the belt.

Sad to see Fury go down the route of exhibition matches, beginning of the end

Spot on, great boxer but he just bores me and talks utter ***** all the time
