Not a fan of boxing? Or just the endless delays in fights like this getting sorted?

Already seen Warren hitting back that it's still not sorted.

Not a fan. Don't understand the attraction of two people trying to cause each other brain damage. Chris Eubank Senior had it about right, I reckon.

Boxing. The true sport. Man to man combat. I have seen many of the great sportspersons in action in my 75 years of watching. None have surpassed the performances of Ali at his peak. Sublime skill in action. The sports personality of the 20th century.
The present crop are not in the same class. If it comes off, AJ and Fury will be interesting. My money will be on Fury.

Surely everybody has the right to comment. An expression of opposition to something is a perfectly valid comment.

Thats kind of how I see it. I'm not as much a fan of the sport now, but there is something I like about the simplicity of boxing. Two combatants, peak of physical condition (mostly), trying to defeat each other with strength, speed and guile. No technology, or performance enhancing equipment on the day, just 1 v 1 in a ring, a set of rules and a pair of gloves each.

Yeah, love a good dust up but I do wish the sport was properly organized and unified.... like somewhere in between what it is today and the Olympics

Daniel Dubois. Now 22. Just watched a rerun of the ending of his first ten fights. A lot of dross but I suspect he has some way to go. Watch out, AJ and Fury. Always someone on the horizon.
