I feel like Joshua's starting to get antsy while watching Fury and Wilder make their fights. I wouldn't be surprised if AJ fought one of the two in autumn. I'm not sure why he canceled his April fight with Whyte to book a June fight with Miller instead, but it could be because the idea of fighting Whyte wasn't as profitable as they thought it might be and instead they want to break into the American market to set up a fight with Wilder.

Apparently Whyte wouldn't agree to the terms for April.

Fury/wilder is absolutely on the cards for the end of the year. Even if there's drama with the winner the loser will be desperate to get a chance at him so can't see it not happening. Fury to lose to wilder then get KO'd by Joshua this year would be the dream

how lax is drug testing in boxing? do they actually do random tests or is it just before a fight?

I think it's almost exclusively during camps.

I listened to it as I was on a night shift and it almost sounded like Joshua didn't really give a poo poo?

Does seem as if he's let the hype get to him. Before the Klitschko fight he seemed really down to earth and was living with his mum. Now he's got 30+ hangers on and probably believed he didn't have to put the work in to beat Ruiz.

Hopefully he gets his head together and maybe looks at the people around him before coming back.

Fury's weakness is the anti-doping agencies. If they'd done their job even half properly he'd not even been in the ring with wlad

I'm sure the boxer who repeatedly said doping should be allowed and has dropped huge amounts of weight in incredibly short timeframes just ate some wild boar.

He pissed hot in Feb 2015 so shouldn't have been in the ring in July.

the best outcome is for paul to pay mayweather to let it go a few rounds so he then believes he's a boxer and therefore gets killed by a heavyweight who needs money in his next fight

Having watched it the most damning bit of the documentary for me was that MTK don't charge star fighters any management fees but have somehow (by the CEO's own admission) built up a huge pot to allow them to snap up over 300 fighters and win more purse bids.

Can't stand Fury, lovely person, unrepentant doper and he's effectively a human money laundromat. He couldn't avoid wilder for 12 and AJ is more dangerous so it'll be close.

I don't give a poo poo about coke, if UKAD had done his job he'd never have been in the ring with wlad. He's spoken about how doping should be allowed and anyone who believes the wild boar story is a moron. He's dropped his British boxing license to avoid another investigation.

You're thinking he got paid to fight and not to go down and increase Paul's ppv money in the next fight. Only question is if Jake Paul knows it and thinks he's actually a boxer or not.
