It’d have been nice if it were when both were right at the top of their games, but at least this will answer the questions between the two

This feels like Manny vs Mayweather all over again. Finally get the fight sorted when people stop giving a shit.

I honestly would have cared when they were at the height of their careers, when everyone wanted this fight. Now it just has the aura of a YouTube boxing match.

I wonder who’ll graze their knee and pull out first
vikingveteran on
Is it worth it? It’s about 8 years too late! Still time for either of them to pull out

It would’ve obviously been better if this happened in their primes, but I’d much rather still get this fight than not at all. It’ll be a good night.

9 years too late. We could have had a unifying fight that caught the attention of the world.
Instead we have two wankers, washed up. One who spends his time beating up youtubers and the other who is on his 6th retirement and is a bellend even by the standards of boxing.
Now we just need the Saudi venue to be announced to top it off despite Wembley being the better choice. I wont be watching.
There is a reason very few people give a shit about boxing anymore.

I would have been hyped for this seven years ago, but they’re both incredibly washed now.

Don’t think its too late, a boxers prime is so hard to judge, they lose in their 20s and its oh they needed more experience, then as soon as they hit 31, its oh they are washed up

Usual boxing story: 2 has-been fighters looking for a final pay out finally agree to the fight everyone wanted to see a decade ago, when they were in their prime and it mattered.
This kind of low stakes money grab is precisely why nobody takes the sport seriously any more and MMA has taken its place.

Fury wins the first, AJ takes the second and then they hype the third
All a load of bollocks

Let’s hope he wins the bout in July which he announced this morning.

I’ll still watch it, I won’t pretend I’m not but it’s just not the same as what it COULD have been 6 years ago.

Classic boxing. Box office match up happening a decade too late.

British boxing finally gets its Mayweather/Pacquiao moment of “well at least they’re finally doing it even if it’s a few years late”.

Wished it would have happened sooner but at least the build up will be funny.

Meh, I’ll watch the clips on IG the next morning like I did with the Paul fight out of cut. Sod giving this proper attention.

Two washed up bums looking for that retirement gig

Feels like a fight that should’ve happened years ago, but let’s be honest, I’ll still watch it. Bit depressing, bit nostalgic, probably overpriced — very British, really.

Its just money at this point . No one really cares

Couldn’t give a fuck. Two washed up has beens who have both had their arses handed to them by usyk multiple times. Nice payday for them both at least.

This fight is almost 10 years too late, I’m sure it will still print money for both of them but this could have been one of the biggest spectacles in sport ever
For such an esteemed “promoter” Eddie did a fucking awful job sitting on this one, boxing in general needs to get away from the “only undefeated is good” mentality, I wouldn’t look down on the records of any of the old greats; Ali, Lewis, Tyson, Holyfield etc just because they’ve got a few losses in their careers to equally great fighters

Don’t pay and these late fights won’t happen
Pay up and you will keep getting these late fights
Customer is king.
Trouble is people are bored on an evening and putting the fight on for £20 or whatever is entertainment.

I’ll bet this is going to be as disappointing as the last few Fury fights. I don’t mind watching him go down though I suppose.
