The exact opposite of a clown - a very nice bloke.

RIP Alex.

Awesome action. So unused to seeing that with heavyweights now.
Holmes head is barely moved by Norton's shots.
The commentator is so biased in favour of Holmes
Did Holmes' gumshield come out with around 30 seconds to go and the ref just picked it up,but they carried on fighting?!
What a round!

AJ against Molina. From what I remember didn't Molina give wilder a hard time up until the 9th?

Wilder vs Hugie Fury being touted for Feb 25th in Manchester.

Interesting fight, that (if it happens).

Norton, the only Heavyweight champ never to win the title in the ring.

Just seen Chisora chuck a table in the press conference with Whyte... I hope he takes a beating in the ring.

Lmao one man threw a table at his opponent in a press conference. Never been into boxing but definitely gonna be keeping an eye on this fight after seeing that.

Whyte will beat Chisora in 4/5 rounds for me, maybe sooner. If you go off the Joshua fight, Whyte looked pretty good and has a very solid chin, while if Chisora was in the same fight he would be lucky to make it out of round 1.

Yes I think Whyte will win. It's really been hyped though this fight. We know they hate each other so they keep putting them together knowing it'll all kick off. The fight it's self is really a non event but all this trash talk and table throwing helps sell it.

An embarrasing but predictable episode.

Mark Tibbs is an idiot. He set the tone early on for the arguments to happen. Hearn was straight out of there after Chisora had a pop at him and credit to Adam Smith for being calm and collected.

Think Chisora will win this by UD.

Whyte is predictable (even more so under Tibbs than he was with Banks) and is coming off the back of two awful fights against Allen and Lewison.

Whyte is a mouthy prick.

I fear he won't but I really hope he gets his arse handed to him.

Just caught highlights of the Billy Joe Saunders fight. Got to love Frank Warren, slags off Eddie Hern yet he gets one of his only big name fighters to fight in a leisure centre in front of about 200 people.

Shite fight to.

Why does this childish nonsense still go on in boxing? Are they that desperate to sell tickets?

Press conferences are just pointless these days, as they just seem to try to sink to more and more desperate ways to try and grab any sort of headlines.

Just put out a press release about upcoming fights, then that would stop all this silly and stupid nonsense.

Sky are desperate to sell the PPV, yes, and are using Whyte/Chisora to do it.

The PPV was panned and they're worried. Why pay £16 to watch Joshua tap Molina and the fight to end after 90 seconds?

Hearn knew that it would kick off, yet carried on with the presser anyway...

Considering wilder took 9 rounds to beat him, this might not be that straight forward. To be honest that was the first time I'd seen wilder and he wasn't that impressive unless he just had a off night.

TBH, I'd quite like Molina to spring a shock here (to put an end to Joshua's safe and boring defences) but we've been stung before with Martin and Breazeale talking a good talk.

Yeah lots of people seem unimpressed with Wilder, I haven't seen enough to go either way with him yet. Hughie must fancy his chances if the fight happens.

I've only seen wilder's fight against Molina and Molina was catching him with some good shots. Wilder might have just had a off night, it does happen. Seems like good guy though from hearing him talk.

Spot on.

The undercard is more interesting than the main event.

In fact, Whyte/Chisora should have been the main event.

British boxing board have made the chisorsa fight non title after his antics. It means Whyte keeps the title no matter what.

They Will also weigh in separately.

And chisora facing a 2 year ban if it happens again. I'm glad something was done because things like that shouldn't happen. Also Whyte pleading innocence about what started it with the I'll see you after the fight comment, claiming chisora misunderstood him. I don't buy his explanation for one minute.

Whyte should have been stripped and Tibbs repremanded.

Looking forward to Concepcion vs Yafai tomorrow. As a Brummie, I hope Kal can do it. He's faster than Conceptcion but has never faced the quality of Luis, so it makes for an interesting fight.

Potentially a big fight down the line against Gonzalez.
