Tank, what a victory took massive gamble going up two divisions and now becomes a 3 weight world champ :cool:
Not really. Taylor is the undisputed king at 140. Tank won a nothing belt.

Mayweather, or rather Ellerbe, needs to actually put tank in some fights worth a damn. The Santa Cruz win was legit but his resume is kinda lacking for how much potential he has

The Fury v Joshua fight is seemingly becoming just a fantasy. If they don't get through there mandatories and fast they just won't get round to fighting or atleast in there primes.

I was shocked that fight was supposed to be in 2 weeks time, like literally no buzz about it!

I’m feeling the AJ v Fury dream fight is going down the pan to be honest, this was ‘the’ time and any other time it’s not gonna be the same or have the hype.

Lots of insiders have been claiming that Fury has not done enough training. He’s got fat again and very slow, and would no way be ready for the original date.

He’s also been laid out a few times by his sparring partner, one of these causing a very bad split lip injury.

I absolutely don’t buy the Covid excuse at all. He just ain’t ready.

Sorry, I haven’t got any direct links, but there’s a hell of lot of stuff been posted on Twitter and various specialist boxing forums like boxing news 24 from people who follow every facet of boxing religiously.

Jared Anderson was brought in as Fury’s sparring partner. He was suddenly let go a few days ago with no explanation, but it came out that he had gone OTT and given Fury a hiding. Fury was seen just after looking extremely puffy and bruised round the eyes, like he had just had a tough fight.

looking at him I’d say he’s easy up at 21 stone as well atm. Too heavy 2 weeks before the fight.
