It’s the fight that nobody really cared about seeing again but I’m quite enjoying all the build up. I’ll buy it but undecided whether to stay/get up to watch it live or switch my phone off and watch it in the morning.

Fury to knock him out within five rounds*

*unless Wilder gets a lucky one in.

Like you say, it's the fight no one asked for.

It's a shame that Joshua keeps getting punked by fighters he should beat, don't know if it's a training issue or just cockiness. Doesn't bode well for him actually going up against Fury though.

If there's any justification in this world, Fury will get knocked on his arse in the first round and then disappear into anonymity so that we never have to hear from him ever again

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks he's an arsehole

I quite like him, he adds a lot of fun into it all and it’s good fun seeing a heavyweight fight like he does.

Dave!

It’s not a popular view Zed but that doesn’t make it wrong…

He's a cracking boxer and to get his shit together from where he was physically and mentally is quite inspiring.

I've never really liked mouthy fighters. I watch pro wrestling for the personalities, I don't need it in the real fighting

He's a role model okf Tyson.

Going from fattie to trim, with the carrot of $$$$$$ waved in your face to do so is inspirational? What about the mysogeny and homophobia?

He's an arsehole.

I get the hate for him pre-Klitschko fight era, he was a mouthy prick. But he’s a different bloke now, matured and thinks about what he’s saying (as much as a boxer can). I’m a fan these days.

I think the Joshua fight is well and truly off the cards now which is a great shame.

Is he different? Or has he just learned to keep his trap shut on certain matters?

I think he is. He’s not clever enough to have hid it so well for the last three or four years.

Fair point!

Fury went up in my estimation when he chopped in his Cullinan for an old Passat diesel estate.

Fury will batter Wilder again. Wilder can't box but he has a punchers chance so Fury must be careful.

Is there a BT Sport Box Office app separate to the BT Sport one? I’ve bought the fight but can’t log in via the Firestick. I haven’t got a BT Sport account.

That was savage, Wilder looked in a bad state by the end.

He looked in a bad state a lot earlier than that Fair play to him for somehow staying upright for so long and managing to remain dangerous.
