Maybe Pulev and Ortiz can fight, maybe Ortiz/ Povetkin. Hopefully some of these guys start to fight each other.

Disappointed with Brooks opponent. There's no easy road to a title for him now. He's going to wait on Khan.

It would have been even better a few years ago because that could have been a darkhorse fight of the year candidate as well! But I think those two will have a good fight. I like Takam's style, he's a hard worker in there. Hopefully they both come in fighting fit shape and have a phone booth brawl.


Pulev has been a great disappointment, I think Wlad ruined him to be honest. I mean yeah he's bounced back a bit, but he's not fighting fresh fighters hell he fought Sam Peter just recently, he fought Chisora recently, those aren't the up and comers of the division that they were in say 2010 or so. He's done himself no favors. That said I'd still like to see him mix it up with the CURRENT fresh blood in the division.


Who waits on fighting Amir Khan? That is craziness.

When he has to go through Hurd, Jermell, Munguia or Castano to get a belt, I reckon Brook does.

Amir Khan isn't close to getting a belt either, why wait? It's not going to be a bigger fight than it is right now, actually both of them missed the window years ago for a truly big fight between them.

Yea that's what I mean, Brook isn't going to take any risks against the titleholders at 154, he'll tread water until they can make the Khan fight.

Joshua Buatsi is gonna murder Ricky Summers...

David Haye opens gym to Joseph Parker again ahead of bout vs. Dillian Whyte

David Haye is offering his London gym to Joseph Parker again so Parker can complete training for his heavyweight fight vs. Dillian Whyte on July 28.

Haye, the former WBA heavyweight champion, also opened the gym to Parker in preparation for Parker's unanimous decision loss to unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua in March.

"David seems to have been very good to us from our first fight up there," Parker's promoter, David Higgins, told Sky Sports . "David's been very helpful, we're very grateful. David has been very accommodating. I'm sure that he and Joseph will discuss tactics and stuff like that. The use of the facilities has been invaluable; they are private, hidden and quiet, and near the hotel."

Whyte didn't seem surprised by Haye allowing Parker to return to his gym. He believes his fellow countryman has never been supportive of his career and is just looking to get under his skin.

Whyte's comments didn't surprise Higgins in the slightest.

"I think that Dillian Whyte's permanently pissed off," Higgins said. "He's a fiery sort of guy and it will be interesting to see how that goes in the ring.

"I'm sure Dillian does understand that Joe does need to use a gym. It's business and Haye understands that it's business. Everyone likes Joseph, he's a likable guy. Haye and our team get on well."

The winner of Parker vs. Whyte at London's O2 Arena will be set up to face Joshua in 2019. Joshua's next fight will be against Alexander Povetkin on Sept. 22 at Wembley Stadium in London.

So Brook is off the card and out of the fight after injuring his ankle

Watch the card keep dropping the big fights.

This is still a great card without Brook.
I reckon Parker will get this on points and be too quick for Dillian.

I heard Egginton is stepping in for Brook. That's more of an even match up I guess.

Just assuming this won't be airing Stateside? I don't get that, both off major bouts and accounts aired here. Parker strikes me more 'solid' with more options v Whyte but would like to see Whyte win it.

So would I, I think Parker bottled it against AJ and Whyte gave it a try and would do so again.

Who wants to watch Parker v Aj 2?

Starting to wonder how hungry Parker really is after seeing him at the weigh in yesterday, he's nowhere near the shape he was in against AJ, hes only had a 6 week training camp for this fight and he got paid a massive guaranteed £13 Million against AJ so really doesn't need the £1Million hell earn tonight.
Style wise this could be a classic.
Chisora v Takam is a nailed on war so really looking forward to that one and if Benn v Peynaud is anything like last years war it's gonna be a brilliant night.
