    Nah, he looks in great shape. Maybe because he didn't start boxing until he was 22.

    Speed tends to go mid 30's but Joyce doesn't need to be that quick when he's got such high output, great stamina, solid chin, great power.

    He's a fitness beast.

    6ft 6 and 19 stone 5 without being fat.... insane.

    Consider Joshua is 6ft 6 and 2 stone lighter.

    Joyce is the same weight Fury's fat ass was against Wilder the 3rd time.

    Joyce is now heavier than Fury but way more in shape.

    I didn’t because I was out on a night out. But I have watched it since and it was a very good fight with both going for broke.

    It’s actually quite nice and refreshing and Joyce might give usyk some problems.

    But he won’t ever face Fury because once this Fury v Joshua fight happens (twice) he will retire a very wealthy man.

    Fury just confirmed him and AJ is off. AJ bottled the deadline hiding behind legal team.

    Was never really going to happen they just want to keep the interest up.

    Fury will probably fight chisora then Usyk

    Just been reading that. I still think it will happen. Buy I probably will be wrong.

    Can’t believe Joshua has bottled it. His last chance for redemption. He says his legal team where looking at it. Buy Hearn has said “no chance”?

    I don’t understand.

    I love how everyone was picking parker to win but now they're licking the juggernauts rim.

    I imagine it's more to do with Hearn not getting the financial contract he wants, rather than AJ bottling it. Hearn is a money-grabber and as Fury has the belts it puts him and Warren in the driving seat of how the contract is carved up. Hearn won't like that.

    He said the contract offered by Fury/Warren was "all over the place" when it finally came through and they had "no chance of unpicking it in the timeframe". Get on with it!

    Bottom line is, AJ is challenger and Fury is the champ, so he's entitled to more. He as more at stake.

    Hearn also said part of the complication was TV rights, which I can see as being tricky, as they've each signed up to sponsorships with different channels. Tough, sort it out.

    When you sign those deals you are either closing off future.options (like this), OR you have to be prepared to compromise to make the big fights happen.

    It's so often the promoters who ruin chances of big fights, rather than the fighters themselves.

    They just wanted to keep building the fight... Fury will probably take on uysk then Joshua and retire.

    Benn v Eubank on Saturday. Can't wait and really really hope Benn smashes him all over the place.

    I see Benn is a drugs cheat.... Just goes to show the guy people like is usually the worse of the two.

    I hope eubank demolishes him

    British Boxing Board Of Control now declaring the fight is prohibited due to the drugs test.

    But Eddie Hearn still trying to push it through.:emoticon-0164-cash::emoticon-0164-cash::emoticon-0164-cash:
