No comments on the fight? Dillian Whyte proved to be as bang average as we thought. Fury still a class act in the ring. I hope he fights Joshua and Usyk before he finally quits.

My comment is that I can't believe 94,000 mugs pay ridiculous amounts of money to watch this tripe. Cost of living crisis; my arse!!

Panned out as expected. Whyte was game.
I disengage, I turn the page. |

And the only reason boxing (and MMA) haven't been outlawed is the money. Like cigarettes and alcohol, there's still a big market.

I doubt very much that they pay £316 per person as per the original poster (and that was probably far from the top price). And at least the darts is a contest rather than a no-contest.

Unfortunately, pro boxing is largely about the money and less about the sport. It wouldn't exist otherwise. Even football is heading that way. I suppose people just love to see two people punch each other, even if the result is fairly predictable.

I can only see a Chisora 3 fight for him....as I don't think anything else is interesting that involves Whyte after that display. Poor undercard....A lot of money flying around in boxing at the moment but that often results in boxers pricing themselves out to protect their records until a title opportunity arrives. But that results in far less 50/50 fights for us.....perhaps the coming economic contradiction results in more serious match ups. Edited by Stirlingsays (26 Apr 2022 9.45am)

Edited by Stirlingsays (26 Apr 2022 9.45am) We all want to see Fury v Joshua and or Usyk. At least we can say that Fury would have been a challenge for any heavyweight of any era.
