It's going ahead provided Edwardo gets another license from some other national board. He probably will. 

Crazy. Boxing is probably the most farcical sport around at the moment which is a shame as the sport itself is boss.

It's all about the money.

FINALLY! Maltese boxing will get the recognition it deserves!

Mate, you need to knock out a WBC style Maltese Middleweight belt to give to the winner.

Officially canceled now. Eddie couldn't find a big enough brown envelope.

Had to be really.

I know there is money and lots of it but you are talking about the health of a boxer that should always be priority.

Surprised Tyson Fury hasn't been on twitter calling out Secretariat to step in at short notice for Saturday

[Samie]

The official word is that its' been " Postponed" not off.  Eddie is going on a mini holiday around Europe looking for some corrupt fucker  that takes the brown envelope and gives him a license for the fight.

I hear Jeddah is lovely this time of year...

So this is off, AJ/Fury dead in the water, Spence/Crawford are signing contracts in slow motion, Dubois trying to fight that caveman Lucas Browne. Boxing is in the pits at the moment.

Ah FFS, when is he ever going to fight someone decent? Fighting low level fighters continuously and will probably never be ready to challenge for a title because he is learning fuck all in these pointless mismatches. Browne got a surprise early KO win against Junior Fa but is only a couple of fights removed from being KO'd in 1 by 41-year old Paul Gallen.

Just saw that the BBB of C won't sanction the fight. Should be a wake-up call when your team is choosing opponents so unsuited to ring action that boxing authorities won't sanction the fucking fight!

Always been like this aint it? Certainly as far back as I can remember. The big fights just take way too long to get made, nobody wants to see declining big names fight when they’re past their best.

Fury v Usyk in March, winner retires and he'll be able to win a title against a Charles Martin level opponent. Just got to keep padding those stats in the meantime.

Good to see it getting refused a license though. Doesn't happen enough. NSAC do it sometimes but you can always find somewhere in the US to fight.

I wouldn't bank on that if I were you. Fury is more likely to fight a cabbie; is Martin Rogan up for another scuffle I wonder?

[BER]

When can we officially say AJ ducked Fury?

He'll fight an absolute bum in December, but I do think the Usyk fight will happen unless he goes off the rails again.

Warren special he bigged him up for a while and got hammered by Joyce.

He thought he was going to be his AJ ironically and now lines him up with rubbish.

Considering their respective track records, I think we can probably never say that....

Eddie has completely disgraced the sport and himself with the way he's handled this. I know he doesn't give a fuck like all about the dollar but still.

The guys a complete con man, he reminds of a tory politician the way he has so many fooled with his bullshit. 

He's definitely on a bad run though, a canelo loss, his cash cow Joshua losing 3 out of 5 and one knockout away from being a journey man.

lAbout to proceed with the Connor Benn fight even though he knew for 2 weeks about the test only for that tory shithouse rag to do something useful for the first time in its existence and expose his VADA secret, no wonder Eubank Snr was so against the fight when he knew the truth.  It does explain why Hearn was rather busy with other things than negotiating Fury v Joshua though.

Then he's got DAZN, one of the biggest loss making businesses of all time, the man is nothing without the sky sports platform, just a bullshitter who wants to be a bigger star than the boxers themselves. 

[Samie]

The man got $1 billion deal from DAZN, he's a genius.

Lol the financial figures of that company is beyond staggering isn't it

[Lusty]

Boxing promoters are pretty much all the scum of the Earth. Hearn is no exception, but somehow also nowhere near the worst.

[Samie]

Don King is the Undisputed Crooks of Boxing promoters.

He put on a so called world heavyweight title fight in a middle school  gym for fucks sakes.

I went to a thing in my local with Frank Bruno once, he had some fun stories about Don King that he can't repeat on the record

He said something similar to my old man and uncle at this "meet and greet" back in the good old days.  Basically "I'd only tell you this stuff when he's 10 feet under".

Not enough are talking about this. It's clear Matchroom didn't really want it

[Legs]

In fairness I dont think Warren/Fury did either they were shocked AJ said yes imo.

The plan was and always has been for Fury to fight December in a tick over nailed on win for the big one next year against Usyk.

I do think Fury beats AJ but its not as nailed on as a Chisora, Charr type fight.

Why was Benn even taking fertility tablets? What advantages was it giving him?

[Samie]

It boosts endurance.

Id agree with that.

Fury v Usyk is the fight that HAS to be made.

[lfcred1976]

Apparently masks steroid use and also increases testosterone. He was always super active on Instagram but since being busted he’s gone very, very quiet.

[leinad]

After you take a cycle your testosterone levels drop so you take a PCT to get them back up.

Looks like the Eubank's have had a falling out.  Chris other son died a earlier this year too.

Chris Eubank Sr on Chris Eubank Jr: "I believe in him, but he doesn't believe in me. I've let go… I've done nothing but gift this young man a career, a name, a face… I'm gonna have my boy tell me he's boss? He doesn't appreciate how good things have been." [@TheFightIsRigh1]

Connor Benn looking at a minimum 2 year ban if B sample is Positive.

Conor (the career) “Destroyer” Benn. Shame the drug cheats don’t get a lifetime ban. Especially when done deliberately

[Samie]

Aye, he's fucked now.   

Conor Benn is now being investigated over claims that he previously tested positive for Clomifene in ANOTHER drugs test prior to the test which saw his fight with Chris Eubank Jr called off last week. [@MailSport]

[lfcred1976]

If that is the case he deserves a lifetime ban.

[Alf]

Was looking forward to the Eubank-Benn fight, probably more than any other this year. I suspect we'll be well into 2023 before we know the full story.

[1892tillforever]

If that is the case he deserves a lifetime ban.

He'll get a 6-12 month ban and in the meantime, will get to fight in the Maldives or something.
