Blimey, I haven’t been that surprised since somebody told me tomorrow is Saturday.

Wonder what will result in it being cancelled this time.

On a happier note, Azeez v Buatsi should be good this evening. There's nothing like a well-matched British title fight.

For once a proper top level boxing match. Not like contrived rubbish in heavyweight division we are used to watching.

It was a decent fight - both men went forward constantly and Buatsi always had a bit more class. The scores were wider than I'd have given and it would have been interesting what might have happened without the 10-7 round.

Saw an interview with Johnny Nelson where he was saying that there are a lot of rumours flying around that Fury was getting turned over in the gym, his legs have gone and what we saw against Ngannou is a reflection of where he's at.

Wouldn't surprise me at all. He should have fought Usyk a couple of years ago while he could still be arsed.

After a year battling with cancer, Adam Smith is back commentating tonight working for Talksport, he's left Sky after nearly 30 years with them.

I'd still be very surprised if Usyk beat him. Fury is busy and smart enough to keep him at range, and Usyk doesn't have devastating power on the inside to hurt him.

I want to see the fight, but can't help thinking it'll be a disappointment.

It's just that continuous forward momentum from Usyk that I think would trouble Fury. He's always moving, and always trying to throw punches, which at the very least would probably give him a points victory.

You may well be right, mate, Usyk is an excellent fighter. If they were both the same size, I'd favour Usyk.

No messing about from Sheeraz, that was very impressive.
