What time is the fight tonight UK time?
Probably be around 3-4am.
Wilder got in the ring last night to confront Ortiz. Hopefully that fight will happen, Ortiz was talked up massively as an unknown quantity but his last few performances have been poor and the hype has died down, even more so after he failed a drug test. If Wilder can come through that fight with a convincing performance then the AJ fight will be even bigger, and if Ortiz wins then he will be the next in line to challenge AJ.
Seems a lot more heavyweight get caught taking PED's compared to the lower divisions.

Cheers mate. I'll set an alarm!
Might have to get up for this one, setting the alarm though, not staying up. Also James De Gale on tonight.
The telecast here starts at 9am so 2 UK time and ESPN lags so I'd say main event will be 11 at the earlies but wouldn't be surprised if it was 12 so 4 at the earliest for U.K.
Selby wins. Looked decent enough. Hope he gets the fight against Warrington, he will win that one and shut up that annoying muppet.
De Gale is getting mashed up here!!
Truax surely???
Massive shock. Wonder where De Gale goes from here?! Won't be facing the winner of the Super 6 anyway, needs to rematch Traux if there is a way back.
Jesus didn't realize Lomanchenko was already 29? Turned professional very late it would seem.
Cubans are just not made for professional boxing.
Hmmm, Loma just too good it seems
From what I have seen of him, Lomachenko is in with a shout of being the most skilled boxer of all time.
Nomaschenko already sounding like Manny... ‘I’ll need to talk to my promoter, Bob Arum’
Guillermo Nomasdeaux.
not stolen

Lomachenko is incredible. I don't think I've ever seen a fighter with better footwork.
Is this supposed to be serious?
Naz's footwork was terrible, he was constantly off balance. He might have been fast but doesnt mean it was good. Fundamentally it was poor.

Tyson Fury can box again.
Has he lost all that weight he piled on?
Not much of it saw him on soccer pm on the weekend. Seems to have his head back on him now though.
This is epic, he's been in the gym and dancing about loads recently where as in the past it was only the odd run, so with this news it should drive him on even more. Hatton reckons 4 more stone and he's been doing some work in his gym. Would love to see him topple the golden boy and get his belts back.
The belts he won whilst he was doping?
He just ate uncastrated boar mate lol.
I actually don't mind Fury but I'd love to see AJ knock him out. Don't think he would mind, but would love to see it. AJ is the closest Brit heavyweight we have to joining the GOAT gang. Lennox is Canadian, don't @ me.
No, and he won't be able to use PEDS to aid the process this time.
Is he on a serious dope control? If not he can dope to help him get in shape whilst he has no fight on.
After this fiasco, I'd say so.
To be honest he didn’t look all that bad on Soccer PM. He, Fury has obviously lost a lot of Timber. Wouldn’t say he is far off a fight weight.
Fighting Bellew should be an intresting fight.

Fair play to Hearn for doing stuff like this and they're usually a good listen with some good points but IFL is basically his way of putting his propaganda out there and Kugan laps it up cos he gets the views (he might as well, he's made a career off it really.) The stuff about ticket resales really is annoying and how he just let him say it with no answer back. To me it's clear Hearn makes money off the resales so he shouldn't be involved in it, it's a massive conflict of interests. It's like the Glazer's owning Viagogo and then a load of our tickets pop up on there or something.
Regarding the Fury stuff it seems pretty clear it was something fishy and he was doping not the meat excuse. It seems to me that UKAD can't really be bothered with the effort of it all anymore so decided on this ban (which isn't really a ban) and have done it this way, Fury was saying how he is going to take them to the cleaners etc but that never happened, it just seems all a bit dodgy.
Yeah, gotta agree with what you say. I do find Eddie entertaining, but he talks bullshit for a living, and he does it better than anyone else.
Some interesting banter about our Eddie here ( around 1hr 04 mins).
Agree with their views on the BJS v Lemieux fight too. Good episode this one.
Because AJ is all natural...
He hasn't failed a dope test so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
You can see his growth gut ffs
He was born in London.
And? He was born in London and moved to Canada when he was 12? Who cares who he represented? He was born in Britain, which makes him British!
