Fury fought a beautiful fight vs Wilder. One of the greatest wins by a British heavyweight ever IMO.

All paths lead to Fury v Joshua Let's hope they get that fight done this summer.

It was fantastic. It was the result I expected (frankly I thought Fury won the first fight). I think Fury beats AJ, but it wouldn't shock me if AJ can spring a surprise as he has the power and is a good technical boxer. Really hoping they get that fight on

It was a complete clinic. Interesting that Fury was trained by the Kronk Gym (Sugar Hill, nephew of Emmanual Steward) before the fight. They nailed the Game Plan. Fury completely won the first fight too. The draw decision was an utter disgrace.
I really want this Fury/AJ fight to be made at Wembley Stadium. There is talk of Saudi, Vegas, MSG... seriously... this needs to be at Wembley.

Y I don't see this one being bought off and held on foreign soil. They'll make enough money at Wembley and it offers a better time zone compromise for the American market

Well, you'd sure hope so. All the inklings I'm getting from the likes of Eddie Hearn etc. is that they want it in Saudi. This needs to be in the UK. The biggest fight in British boxing history.

Looks like Wilder has triggered the rematch clause. Ego over common sense. He’s most likely ruined his legacy now. I don’t believe deep down he thinks he can win

Dillian Whyte knocked out by Povetkin.

Slightly surprised but it was a tough assignment.

Nothing on boxing in awhile but Fury did it again this year and is the big man. Got nostalgic and watched the Ali-Frazier bouts and the Rumble in the Jungle from the Seventies

Fury/Wilder III was one of the most exciting heavyweight fights in years.

Fury/Wilder III was one of the most exciting heavyweight fights in years.

Fury had a huge weight advantage, which he used very well, but even still, the bloke has a jaw of steel. He seems to recover so fast from having his lights knocked out that I think he's almost unique in that regard. I don't remember seeing any great fighter knocked more or less spark-out then get up and fight stronger than his opponent, like he did in the first fight. And in this fight, he just got better after the fourth round...

best I've seen since Holyfield - Bowe I reckon

Good pickup, and Fury/Wilder was possibly less damaging to both fighters wellbeing. I don't think Bowe was ever the same again after that series.

Was it a better fight than Joshua vs Klitschko,? That fight had everything..I might watch Wilder vs Fury #3 on YouTube tonight. Thanks

that was a great fight. But the Wilder/Fury and Holyfield/Bowe were both trilogies. There's something extra about that

Wow. Liam Smith absolutely battered Eubank Jnr. I was rooting for Liam but didn't expect a fourth round stoppage.

 

[Federberg]

lol! He put him the fk down. The boy ain't his daddy

 

[britbox]

Still one of the best schoolings in British Boxing History.

Where do you stand on Hagler’s final fight?

I thought Hagler won the fight - at the very least a draw. Leonard overachieved based on expectations, had the crowd, and worked the audience.
