How hard is it to watch Chris Eubank drone on about rules of boxing and how boxers should not be aloud to change weights in the short term to get an extra payday. While I think he has a point he alone is guilty of doing the same thing by moving up to fight Carl Thompson.
This just goes to prove one thing in my opinion, that Chris Eubank still requires the spotlight to voice his opinions even though it goes against what he did as a professional. He clearly has his own agenda and just listening to spout his nonsense coupled with a man that is clearly pretending to be someone that he is not.

The governing body of boxing is a joke. How it allows Fake Paul to box an ex world champion in AJ is about as wrong as it gets. The whole episode is clearly about money and its being allowed to go ahead. When will the honour amongst fighers return to the days when you earned your big money fight against a quality opponent. Has this gone? Now we have a circus of Youtube fighter versus Ex world champ of any age to promote interest and generate money. Its time for boxing fans to stop funding this crap and take a stand against the greedy promoters that are raking in big money. Whats next Senior Championship Boxing with Holyfield v Tyson 4. Its an absolute disgrace.

Not entirely sure what AJ's thought process is in taking this 'fight'. Can only be money as this does nothing for his reputation and, as Cjay says, if he doesn't knock him out in a couple of rounds, he's going to look more and more like a busted flush.

It's a farce . How can you even think about this as a serious fight . It's comedy , only not funny .

Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua tonight.

Surely this only goes one way?

Or will it be fixed like the Tyson fight (clips of Tyson clearly pulling his punches went viral after)

But surely AJ wouldn't agree to that? He's Still potentially got a career after.

Not if he loses to a youtuber who he's 5 inches taller than and 30 pounds heavier.

I might watch this for the car crash value. Either AJ destroys him in a couple of rounds or he torches what is left of his career.

I've a nagging suspicion that the fight will be as 'scripted' as a WWE wrestling match.

[MightyWhites]

If AJ doesn't win this in two rounds his professional career is finished!

Not sure about two rounds, but agree, he’s got to win relatively early.

Jake Paul gets his jaw broken, in two places, as Joshua wins comfortably with a stoppage in the 6th round.

Haven't watched it yet.

Took longer than expected but atleast the sensible result occurred.

Not sure beating a youtuber in the 6th round does anything for AJ tbh.

1 or 2 maybe, 6 is dragging it a bit

[billysboots]

Maybe he extended the fight a bit as a compromise to the tv people?

As I mentioned above, thought it would go on a bit.

Shocker by all accounts, but a decent punch from AJ to finish it.

[MightyWhites]

Sounds like JP ran around the ring for four rounds once he felt a punch. Not a good performance from AJ, but apparently he got £78 million for it. Easiest money he will ever earn!

Madness putting some goon in against a top heavyweight, really dangerous that and you could see the mess Paul's face ended up in.

One of these clowns will get killed and that will stop it

Tyson Fury is back fighting again! After announcing retirement on many occasions he is coming back to fight Arslanbek Makhmudov in April. Why? Tyson has done it all in boxing and has a great record with only loses to Usyk, so what does he have to prove. It can't be about money he is already rich. It must be he can't accept that his time is over and sees himself as the great he once was. There are boxers that do not know when its time to call it a day and unfortunately Tyson fits this mould. Wilder is another shot fighter now getting in the ring with Chisora, its a massive step down in class and if he engages with Chisora he will lose imo.
Tyson will probably win the April fight but the glory days are long gone imo..
