Baz was right about the DAZN price increase being PPV by the back door.

Subs renew on 31 March and that’s when the price rise to £20 a month kicks in. AJ‘s fight is the next day. So transparent lol!
 
Oh dear Big John Fury wants Tyson to sack Sugar Hill for letting slip he was never here in the UK to train Tyson, he was here to Train Okolie for his fight and then he was going back home.

“That thing with SugarHill the other day, what the hell was that about? ‘I’m only here for Okolie.’ What was he talking about? When I have seen him training Tyson, he was living in Tyson’s house, he had his missus there, he was using the gym and I have seen him working Tyson out.

And all of a sudden denied him like Judas Iscariot denied Jesus Christ? What the hell was going on there? For me, that is a sacking offence. He will be down the road for that charade.

It was upsetting. Tyson just falls in love with these people and finds out they are not who they seem to be. It is all about pound signs and he has put SugarHill where is.”


John doesn’t like it when someone tells the truth at the expense of a Fury. Like when he confronted Carl Frampton after he backed Jake Paul against Tommy. He’s a bully and another that needs to disappear from boxing.

 
Lol John should stick to gouging out eyes. The only Fury I have time for is Peter and it's unsurprising to see he and the rest of the clown brigade have fallen out. I also really like Peter. The way he talks about fighting is really easy to listen to and you can tell he knows his stuff. Shame he only really trains Hughie who isn't going to amount to much...

AJ Fight week, he really needs to put on a devastating show tomorrow. I do think that training out in the US and being with people like Charlo and Spence will do wonders for him
 
I'm torn on AJ. His fight with Klitschko was one of the best I've seen but since then I've been underwhelmed. I tend to agree with Hearn that he has carried British boxing for 5 years as we haven't got a bigger star including Fury but these things annoy me.

1. Lack of activity. He just doesn't fight often enough. 8 fights in 6 years is poor even allowing for Covid
2. He tries to sound more intelligent and esoteric than he is and ends up looking fake. He's a street lad from Watford and I'm fine with that.
3. He's forgotten what made him a good fighter and tried to become Ali when he doesn't have the skills, stamina or charisma

Apart from that I quite like him and I'd still rather watch him over Fury. AJ doesn't really seem to have ducked anyone although I'm not convinced his resumee is that strong compared with heavyweights from other era's. I can't see him not winning on Saturday but realistically unless its a KO win, he's out of the reckoning for another title shot.

He’s definitely going after a KO, he’s come in very heavy. If Franklin can’t avoid his right hand, it’s over quickly.
