Boxing 2025

A fix you say?

I'm amazed one of the judges gave that 116-110.

Joshua v Paul in December now confirmed.

I hope Joshua flattens him very, very quickly indeed. I suspect, however, that he'll use it as sparring practice and to keep him ticking over and it will be a dull points result.

Even though I have Netflix I won't be watching that nonsense.

I wouldn't even contemplate it. I fucking hate it.

Can't see how this is anything other than disastrous for boxing.  There's no scenario where it doesn't come out badly

1 - Joshua toys with Paul as a warm up and people complain of being ripped off. 
2 - There is some kind of pre-ordained result and boxing essentially is reduced to a glorified version of WWE.
3 - Joshua takes it seriously and Paul ends up very badly hurt or worse.

And to make boxing even worse, Fabio Wardley has been named WBO world heavyweight champion.

Good grief.

[Pat Mustard]

And to make boxing even worse, Fabio Wardley has been named WBO world heavyweight champion.

Next up, Jake Paul fights Fabio Wardley for the heavyweight championship of the world.  Genuinely think that would be the end of boxing for me.
