AJ has signed a six fight multi million pound deal with DAZN starting with the Usyk rematch. 

Hypothetically:

So Usyk 2
Fury 1 & 2
Wilder
Whyte 2
Usyk 3 (If he wins)

That's effectively his last 6 fights, big coup for DAZN.

That's a hell of a hypothetical mate

He needs to win the first one for any of the others to happen.

Julius Francis still got some KO power I see

Not going to happen if he loses to Usyk.

When is AJ Usyk 2? It feels like Fury fights three times for every time AJ fights once

[Samie]

Will be confirmed this week for August in Jeddah.

[Alf]

So on AJ, I think regardless of the outcome against Usyk. That he will fight Fury at some stage, no reason the Whyte rematch can't be made, likewise with Wilder particularly if Saudi want to pay silly money for it.

Pretty understandable delay on the Usyk side mate

I think the Fury fight will happen, but probably not for all the belts and probably not till they're both at the Khan v Brook stage of their careers.  Unless AJ beats Usyk in the rematch.

Wilder has never wanted anything to do with Joshua.

[Dull Tools]

They fight about the same amount. Both fought 6 times since the first Fury Wilder fight.

For AJ there are plenty of fights even if he loses. Fury, Wilder, Whyte, Dubois, Joyce, Jalalov, and Anderson will all be big fights at some point in the next few years.

[rocco]

AJ fully signed up to Edwardo and DAZN now.

Read £100m per year with 2 fights per year

He's a right dickhead isn't he? Was legit asked "if you;re retired, give up the WBC and RING belts" and his response is this.

Tyson Fury asked if he'll vacate his WBC title: "No, I'm not gonna give it up because I've got 12 months. I'll just keep it as long as possible. I'll keep that in my pocket as long as I want… I'm not holding this division up because I own it, this is my division." [@talkSPORT]

Did the guy he ko'd have the soles of his boots sponsored as well haha

He's not retired, he's just looking for his next payday, whether that's AJ or Ngannou. The guy is bipolar, bet he doesn't even remember what he had for breakfast this morning.

[duvva 💅]

Haha I was there actually when he fought Tyson with the Daily Mirror on his soles.

Go on his wiki and check the professional record latest fight

Heard him chatting this morning.

'Show me the money Frank, show me the money, £200m, nah i want half a billy, half a billy Frank.'

Cant stand the cnut

Haha My mate sent me a screen shot yesterday. At least he’s halted his long losing run now

[Samie]

Backup fight for Joyce. 

Joe Joyce will face Christian Hammer in a Heavyweight clash on July 2nd at Wembley Arena.

[Samie]

George Kambosos Jr on Devin Haney: "The rematch is happening, 100%. I've activated the rematch clause.

[Fordy]

Backup fight for Joyce. 

Isn’t he fighting Parker or that not happening now that Parker is with Boxer?

[Samie]

Not happening now but maybe down the line.

Shame would have been a good fight for both.

Heavyweight champion Tyson Fury refused entry to US because of former ties to Daniel Kinahan

He's fucked!

Beterbiev v Joe Smith tonight lads. Yarde faces the winner according to Frank this October in London. 

[rhysd]

Not sure what those tactics were from Smith.

Trying to go toe to toe with a power puncher like Beterbiev. Was only going to end one way.

Wonder if there's any chance we get the Beterbiev v Bivol undisputed showdown now.

Nice casual discriminatory comment about a serious disability there, nice one.

No idea as well mate.

As for Beterbiev v Bivol well there's a matter of Canelo wanting to cash in his rematch clause.

Seemed daft to me. He could have at least tried to use his reach advantage. Going steaming in like that was way too risky, Beterbiev can really hit.

Guess Smith probably realised he wasn't good enough to outbox him, so tried to land something big early. Badly backfired though.

I was hoping Canelo would leave it alone with Bivol.
Last time it was comprehensive. Bivol looked too big, too strong. Canelo's shots just bouncing off him.

I wanted him to go against Benavidez at 168, if he gets past GGG 3, which he should really.

[Samie]

Rematch confirmed. Shite name for the fight like. 

[I've been a good boy]

Beterbiev is a monster, like a boxing version of Khabib. Said he's coming up to heavyweight soon, him v Usyk would be a dream for boxing purists.

He's not the man to be trying a tear up with at 175, that's for sure; although Callum Johnson hurt him a few times before getting stopped.

Most assume he'll batter Bivol but Bivol won't stand there like a dummy and try to trade with him. I could see Bivol frustrating him and winning a decision.

I imagine Uysk will do the same to him as he did in the amateurs.

If you haven't seen Robeisy Ramírez yet then he it is well worth it. The next Loma for me. So classy.

And the sportswashing continues.

Serious question. Do they have 'ring girls' at these events?

I don't think they had them at the last fight I watched over there. Although to be honest that's somewhere towards the bottom of the list of reasons not to hold it there.

I actually don't blame Usyk for cashing in as much as possible to be honest. He's the only one who gets a pass.

The truth is Usyk is one of the main reasons it is happening there. Same with the Ruiz rematch. They hold the cards in the rematch and can hold old for the venue that makes the most money. Don't really blame either of them.

[Samie]

The Oleksandr Usyk vs Anthony Joshua rematch Saudi Arabia site deal is worth around $80million (£65million), breaking the previous record they paid for AJ's 2019 rematch with Andy Ruiz Jr. Fight is a 50/50 financial split between the fighters.

[Samie]

Las Vegas confirmed for the Trilogy.

[Songs to Sing]

Las Vegas confirmed for the Trilogy.

Pfff come on ggg with his age I don’t want to See him hurt 😞

[1892tillforever]

Las Vegas confirmed for the Trilogy.

Ginger ought to win handily unless the Bivol loss has dented his confidence. If GGG is on the slide, he might even get stopped late. He isn't stopping ginger and there's no way in hell he gets a decision in Vegas against the house fighter!

In other news, Jarrell 'Green Piss' Miller is fighting in Argentina against some journeyman on his comeback. I kid you not, it is a WBA "KO to Drugs" card! Oh boxing 

Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury also confirmed for August 5; will it be a fix, does anyone care? 

[1892tillforever]

Green piss laboured to a decision win over his journeyman opponent. Miller weighed 341 pounds 

Am I crazy for thinking Srisaket Sor Rungsavai can beat Jesse Rodriguez? He is 7/2 to win which is a bit mad. I know he is likely on the slide but you can't count out a fighter of this quality with his power. Incredible to think that after 5 fights, his record was 1-3-1 and he was knocked out twice. Since then, he has gone 48-2 (losses to Estrada and Cuadras) with 42 KOs, beating Chocolatito twice and Estrada; and I think he would have beaten Cuadras in the rematch if it had gone ahead.

Goes to show that you shouldn't necessarily write fighters off after early losses. Sadly, that happens a lot these days.
