He is but Pulev has been the mandatory for the IBF since 2018. In addition Pulev will be seen as the easier fight so i's expect Joshua to opt for that before stepping up the risk against Usyk.

I think Pulev might be more likely, although Usyk shares the same promoter with AJ so in theory it's an easy one to make. Usyk was absolutely awesome at Cruiserweight.

Not the most exciting but very accomplished boxing from AJ, an important lesson learned by him maybe?

First blood Joshua

Looked fucked didn't he? It did at least have aggression, just not much quality

Very good opening round for Hunter in the undercard bout, anyone else watching?

I reckon Joshua wins this by knockout. Mainly because that's what i would like to happen.

Boxing Day would be a challenge

I suppose they need to milk this in case he loses again!

Yeah i do like Bunce as a storyteller, he's done some decent series on various topics that are worth a listen. Tales of the extraordinary or something like that. Just spotted that the PPV fee is going to be £25 for Joshua v Ruiz, pretty steep!

I do enjoy the Costello and Bunce podcasts, will give this a listen later when i walk the dog.

His performance in the rematch will be key for me. Prior to the 1st Ruiz fight i gave him a decent chance vs Wilder and possibly against Fury too. I think it will be fun finding out either way, Joshua vs Wilder has the potential to be spectacular.

Pretty sure he knocked Schwarz down and basically got him pulled from the fight before he got ktfo. I'd agree that Fury isn't an especially big puncher by HW standards though.

Yeah the fight is more likely if Joshua's stock is lower, id just prefer it if he beat ruiz before fighting Wilder

I think Dubois has a higher ceiling than Whyte but it's great to have another Brit in the mix for a title i agree.

I think you could be right, Fury has certainly been distracted lately and i dont think old Fisheyes Warren is happy about it. The thing with Wilder is that he can do next to nothing for round after round but the second a mistake is made (or maybe enhineered by Wilder) it's lights out. All in...

Something overheard at HR to describe our leftback at the time. No doubt he'd just been tearing up the wing and generally terrorising the opposition.

I would if i thought he'd done so. As far as i can see he's said that there are multiple factors involved in violent crime figures and that those need to be addressed to see any meaningful change. It was also added that tough sentences would be a part of that but wouldn't solve it alone...

Fingers crossed for an AJ win but im not convinced the first fight was a Lewis v Rahman type blip or 'lucky punch' for Ruiz. Fury vs Wilder is another intriguing fight, might Fury see it out on points (with better judging)? Or did Wilder work him out late on and know how to get him out of there...

Lumping all degrees together isn't the best way to make it
