Heavyweight Boxing

there’s always someone up and coming and with the help of the promotions team we will be lead to believe they are the best in the world

Moses Itouma should be exciting to watch and Dubois will improve while Parker is a possible contender And kabayel is also one to watch.

The belts will be challenged or broken up after usyks retirement and all the heavyweights will be coming out for a scrap, we can’t forget Hughie fury lol his dad said he’s just got his man strength

To enjoy the HW division you need a good champion(s) with rivalry and good match ups with interesting characters a level below. I think we have had all of that in recent times. The fact that Joshua didn’t fight Fury or Wilder is an awful shame but that’s a story as old as time. Dubois is very exciting and I think he will be involved in a few shootouts yet. I expect him to have a pretty short shelf life. I suppose we’re coming to the end of an era where 4-5 of the main contenders are about to leave the scene. But things change fast and the heavies will continue to be compelling viewing.

I didn’t realise dubois had reconstructive knee surgery before the Usyk fight

Whyte pulls out the Joyce fight

Finger injury. Hmm, must be serious finger injury if you’re having to pull out 5 weeks before fight night!!!

anyone seen Daniel since he was sick or is it still a coma?

He has an awful tickle in his throat, and a runny nose still

I’m thinking Whyte has an “I haven’t done a tap of prep and won’t be doing a tap of prep for April 5” type injury!!

squinn2912

poor, poor Daniel I’m sure he will feel well enough to reappear when uncle olexandar is signing up for the next bout

So is Whytes injury to buy some time? He doesn’t have much to play with!

Dick phelan

Well if it's to buy time it's pointless because Hergovic will beat Joyce so Whyte is only costing himself money. Unless the plan is to make Chisora vs Whye 3

has Joyce Hrgovic been called? I wouldn’t have that much faith in Hrgovic. He should win it but it depends on how far gone Joe is.

OmegaGene

nothing has been called yet, I’m always suspicious of Whyte because if his history of testing positive

Whyte shared a photo of his finger burst open
