      Usyk broke his jaw and had to go to hospital. Anyone notice John Fury in the corner shouting out above Stewart he needs f***in off complete liability

      Mike Tyson would get filled in by Usyk. Same way Lennox took Tyson apart.

      Usyk is a F***ing great boxer.

      Had a brilliant game plan, just wear the big gyypo down until he was tired, then took him apart.

      Honestly think Fury will retire before October.

      I think Tyson in his young prime was a match for Usyk.

      100%. Usyk wouldn’t have been able to handle Tysons body blows  to his stomach.

      Happy for Usyk, thought he was the more skilled of the 2 and would win on points. People talk about a good big man will always beat a good small man....very much depends. Boxing is all about hitting and not getting hit.......Usyk was always going to far too quick on his feet and head movement to evade Fury, especially when Fury decided to go on the back foot.

      Fight of the night was definitely Cordina Cacace. Huge upset no one saw coming, love to see a rematch.

      Agree with this.

      Out of all the heavyweights I've seen I think only Lennox could beat Usyk and even then it would be a close run thing.

      Glad to see the right man won last night, well deserved victory for Catterall. The 116-113 scorecard was about right.

      He's in Crocodile Dundee 3. Gives him more cred than beating anyone.

      Fair shout don't know how in his prime he was considering he never fought again after that fight.

      Again not all Tyson's fault, you have to look at what was being put in front of him by King.

      That is true.

      You could say Bruno was in his prime. But Bruno was never a match for the real top level Heavyweights.

      Usyk given up IBF title as wants rematch with Fury rather than Mandatory with Dubois.

      Possibility of Dubois v Joshua for vacant IBF title in September

      Isn't really much going on in the world of boxing lately besides the Haney Garcia spat leading to the latter being banned for a year.

      British boxing especially is on it's knees.

      Cash hyped up - got beat
      Cordina hyped up - got beat
      Riakporhe hyped up - got beat
      Buatsi hyped up - inactive and has looked terrible in his last 3 fights
      Okolie - never much good anyway, got beat
      Benn hyped up - banned
      Eubank jr hyped up - playing poker
      Taylor finished
      Fury finished
      Whyte finished
      Chisora finished
      Joyce finished
      AJ slowly building back up

      The only top guy anywhere near the pound for pound rankings we have is our own Nick Ball. Hamzah is looking a prospect but needs to step up to world level now.
