Not sure what I was on about - disregard as it was very late and I was rather 'tired'.

Haha!
I've got the book, not read it yet.

AJ against Martin next week. Since Martin won the belt by default I think AJ has a good chance. His last fight did flag up some problems but hopefully they've been fixed.

I think AJ will shine in this fight, although I would have preferred him to have a few more fights before stepping up to true world class level.

Then again if he wants to become a great heavyweight champion in the future Martin is exactly the sort of test he needs to pass.

Rocky fielding career after getting beaten by Callum smith could be going the same way as macarenelli after he got smashed by Haye

Scrap that.. He just won...just!

That is good news, all the best to him and his family.

Brilliant news!

Eubank uses social media to ask if he can visit Blackwell. Classless.

If anyone could fill in this questionnaire for my research project it would be greatly appreciated.

It involves the effect of sport betting advertising on sport consumption.

Many Thanks.

Using words like 'finally' woke up from his coma - shut up Eubank.

And saying "i've got something for you" like he's a nice bloke. It's not about you!!

The referee for Blackwell/Eubank became a spectator, instead of doing his job.

He should be banned.

You would have to ban a lot of refs considering I have seen fighters take way worse punishment.

Fury/Klitschko rematch set for Manchester on 9th July'16.

Finally, its on!

The Mail's Jeff Powell claiming it will be at the Manchester Arena and televised on BoxNation. Very hard to believe those details are correct.

Still no official confirmation from either camp, was supposedly due at noon, I wonder if there's a problem....

Hope Fury gets floored next time round.

I'm sure there's a lot of views on these two fights:

1. Martin v Joshua

I'd like to see Joshua win, but there are no short cuts in boxing. It's a very, very tough business. Joshua just doesn't have enough experience or rounds under his belt for this level, and I think he'll get stopped. If he does win, he won't retain the belt for long. He takes risks, and that's great for the spectators, but as Lewis showed, at heavy weight, one punch and it's lights out. Lewis came back like a true champion, but he showed too much cockiness before the McCall and Rahman fights, and paid the price.

2. Fury v Klitschko.

The opposite to Joshua. Tyson has bags of experience, and will win again. He's controversial, but I like the man. The travelling community get a lot of stick, and both Fury and Saunders are extremely good champions. Good luck to them both. They have worked extremely hard, they haven't taken any short cuts, and both deserve their success.

Cant see Klitschko changing the way he fought Fury last time.

I think Fury definitely has the measure of Klitschko and will win again comfortably.

Cant make my mind up on this one.

I too would love for Joshua to win but can he?

My concerns for Joshua are he lacks lateral movement and is very statue like, relying heavily on his punch power, very similar to Bruno.

You need more than a huge punch to be a long standing champion.

Best of luck to Joshua for tomorrow though.

I think it is far too early for him and he needs more experience at the top level but...

I think he will win, possibly in spectacular fashion.

Good luck tomorrow Anthony.

Carl Frampton has been stripped of his WBA belt just weeks after winning it from Quigg. And erm.... it wasn't a split decision win unless it's me who's mistaken? details below.....

The WBA says it wrote to Frampton following his split decision victory at the Manchester Arena on 27 February to advise him that Rigo was the mandatory challenger.

However, the Jackal’s camp has since indicated an intention to move up to featherweight to face Mexico’s Léo Santa Cruz this summer.

According to the WBA, Frampton’s team has also failed to respond to requests for clarity.

On those grounds, the governing body has stripped the Tiger’s Bay man of his belt.

You know funny as it sounds - AJ could win this fight by boxing clever with the jab at distance and the champ wouldn't get anywhere near him.

I don't expect him to fight that way because his ego will take over. Martin is simply a brawler and the war that AJ wants is the exact tactics that could see him beat ...

I still expect AJ to win though as I am not sure that Martin is good enough or strong enough to beat AJ at his own game. But still one punch can change that ...

I wouldn't be surprised if Sky were not showing it. The first fight sucked and I don't think the PPV numbers would be as good second time round.

If Joshua wins tonight they have his first defence for a summer ppv and Joshua does big numbers. His box office.


It was a split decision. Not surprised with this. No money in a Rigo fight.

Martin has had 8 more fights than AJ but let's face it he only won the belt by default. This is new for both fighters. I think AJ wins by KO in 5.
