On the basis that he wants to revert to his proper weight, and become world champion, Benn has ruled it out.The cynic in me says that this will be a win for Benn, then they go for a winner takes all third bout.
He forgot to turn upGoing for Eubank, TKO 10th round.
Definitely one to watch.Adam Azim is a cracking fighter.
I met Nigel and Conor at Gatwick Airport.Small claim to ‘fame’: I was once forced to make Nigel Benn’s brother redundant.
Nothing much more to add to this- completely agree. Fights like Eubank - Benn (the 1st one at least) provide a bit of entertainment at the time but without the belts and the titles etc, they’re completely hollow. It’d be like 2 rival footballs teams that hadn’t faced each other for a long time playing a trilogy of friendlies - the first one might be quite fun but ultimately it’s manufactured and meaningless.No need for a trilogy I wouldn't have thought, Chris should never have done the 2nd fight tbh and Conor needed redemption. The pointless saga is over.
What worries me a little bit about boxing at the moment is there's not enough talk of Moses Itauma or Usyk, but there's loads of talk for AJ, Jake Paul and/or Tyson Fury.
Can we get back to the belts now please?
Yeah becoming more WWe them real boxingNo need for a trilogy I wouldn't have thought, Chris should never have done the 2nd fight tbh and Conor needed redemption. The pointless saga is over.

Its pure theatre and it made an awful lot of money.Nothing much more to add to this- completely agree.

AJ was a serious boxer at one time.
talks though.

AJ will lose any credibility as a serious boxer if he doesn’t KO Paul within the first round.Hopefully the YouTuber gets tw*tted into next year and Joshua flattens him quickly (but still means it's not worth the money to watch).
Alternatively if Paul holds his own it's embarrasing for boxing and Joshua.

True although this has the feel of an exhibition fight about it so he'll probably toy with him for a bit or just string it out to the end if he gets paid enough.AJ will lose any credibility as a serious boxer if he doesn’t KO Paul within the first round.
Never going to happen. My guess is he'll let him have a few rounds then go for him round 4 or 5. I love boxing but this one leaves a bad taste.AJ will lose any credibility as a serious boxer if he doesn’t KO Paul within the first round.
Fixed for youWhoever has sanctioned this is a bloody idiot.
It'll be Mike Tyson fighting a Grithly Bear next!
There have been some great title fights this year.Can't remember the last time I watched a fight for a belt. Too many "show fights" these days, although I did enjoy the Connor Benn v Chris Eubank Jr fights (particularly the first one).

Canelo vs Crawford.
Dmitry Bivol vs Artur Beterbiev 2
Taylor vs Serrano 3
Shame these influencers/YouTubers are the ones getting the most attention.
Hopefully Joshua flattens fake Paul and we get Joshua vs Fury.
Having watched the match room documentary on Netflix. That Turkey sheikh fella is a power hungry ****.This has been a very good year for boxing.
I am far from a fan of the Saudis,but they are putting the money in and getting the fights we all want to see.
What a fight that was. BrutalThere have been some great title fights this year.
Dmitry Bivol vs Artur Beterbiev 2
Yes and he is holding the folding and is the director of this whole theatre show.Having watched the match room documentary on Netflix. That Turkey sheikh fella is a power hungry ****.
Agreed, that fight needed to happen at least 2/3 years ago.But Joshua Fury would be another over hyped non-title fight, with two blokes in decline having a payday.
Unless the WBO manage to wangle it somehow as a fight for their vacant title.
Dissapointing from Anthony Yarde again tho! Everytime he steps up, he sadly gets found out.Currently watch the DAZN card in Riyadh. Mason v Noakes was very enjoyable.
Mason by 3 for me.
Yep. 1 judge had him 117-111. 2 others had 115-113.
