It’s 11pm on skybet and they always run behind, I doubt you’ll see punches thrown before midnightwhat time would that make it out there? Surely 11pm latest?!

Didn't the same thing happen with Furys last fight there?
I think a draw is a decent bet. It's only 12/1 too so I'm thinking the bookies have an inkling.
Itauma looks brilliant. For a 19 year old, his ceiling is really high. Still has to work on patience though as he can be, understandably, quite rash. Exciting prospect though.
After a few mismatches, hopefully this will be a decent brawl.
Can’t see past Sanchez here but should be close.
Yeah that’s what I’m thinking too
I’ve underestimated Kabayel
You bastards have sucked me in….I’ll never forgive you if this fiver goes wasted
Probably
This atmosphere and ring walk is so weird.
Saudi can really feck off tbh

Looks like things should start happening around 11 then? Like UK time, right?
For a big boxing PPV they pretty much always take the piss.
If they reckon they can get a few hundred more buys by fecking around for an extra hour, that's what they're going to do.
I’ve set my stall out at midnight and I’m sticking to it
Any rivers?
Cacace lucky with the shot after the break but he smelt it and went for the win, few great shots but the bell saved Cordina.
Cacace needs to finish it here.

Cordina looking for that one big shot now to try and change the tide which is dangerous. Can see him trying to land that left hook inbetween exchanges.
Another big round for Carace, some brutal shots
River would be much appreciated.
Good win that.
SameRiver would be much appreciated.
Same here please.River would be much appreciated.
fecks sake. “For me, no more fighting in the U.K., I want all my fights in Saudi Arabia”
I mean, nothing wrong with maximising your career, but feck me that’s shilling plus

It's fair though, the Saudis are piling money into the sport that the UK cannot match.
Until the UK can match it, every fighter will be looking over to Saudi.
Imagine Wembley or vegas sold out for this would be incredible.
Of course I’m still watching but it does take a lot away from the experience.
Plus of course the opportunity to go and see it in person if it was in England. I’d definitely have tried to get tickets for this, it’s a once in a 25 years fight.
Very much so please.River would be much appreciated.
It’s fair if they are honest about it, same with LIV, come out and say “fights in Saudi because the money is great and until it’s matched I’m fighting here.” But they don’t.
This whole “thank you your excellency” etc is nauseating.
Wouldn’t mind Cordina vs Cacace being run back as well.
You mean to say this lad from Belfast hasn’t always had a deep respect for the work of his excellency? Can’t believe it’s just shilling
You might be right on this one….even if they take half an hour to bring out Usyk and fury, it probably won’t be that lateIt'll be all over by midnight
*raises hand.River would be much appreciated.

Jai Opetaia vs Mairis Briedis could be the event of the evening, I think Jai is one of the next pound for pound contenders if he can stay injury free.
Think he walks through Chris Billam Smith and beats Riakporphe.

Are they targeting the USA with these starting times?
It's vomit inducing. Sports washing works, as well.
Probably. I saw that the UFC in Manchester is going to finish at like 4am
Nah, definitely UK on this one.
Example of targeting USA would be UFC 304 next july. It will be on Manchester, with 2 UK champions co-headlinging, but the main event will be starting around 5AM UK time. The PPV will start at 10PM in USA (prime time).
