I'm not from UK either, I'm Nigerian and I have listened to all the promoters from the past and present.. Eddie is actually the only person who is open and friendly to speak with and gives fans the opportunity to ask questions and let us see the inside business of boxing. He has his fairy tales but I understand that he is a salesman man that's his job. Name me another promotion company that promoted their fighters like Eddie or Frank Warren.. them 2 are the gold standard at the moment.. Eddie is the new Don king. But he actually pays fighters faster and not stealing from them check the record and stop hating.. U probably a pbc hater

Bro. I've seen all kinds of Cope from the Fury stans from It was for the Gypsy New Year to it was the for the Muslim New Year. Neither of those things make sense. Gypsy New Year is like Jan 14th and Muslim New Year is the Middle of July. The closest thing I could figure was both times the fight was rescheduled, the original dates were within a week(ish) of the regular New Year for the December Match and a week after the Chinese New Year for the Feb 17th match. Bro simply got knocked back 6 months out of reality.

No chance, AJ is perfect for Tyson, what fury has always struggled against is smaller lighter men Such as Cunningham and now Usyk, if you really think AJ knocks him out I’d be worried you’ve been sniffing the Bostick.
I think when they mention Ryadah season being a different time each year is because it’s planned to end as Ramadan begins, so Ramadan is a different time each year meaning the season will need to change ;-)
Ask Eddie about Connor benns B sample
AJ trained now by Ben is a great decision.. AJ gave Usyk a hard fight in 2nd fight. 38 and 36 aint young and theyre past their best. Furys old man did not help and Tyson did better in the USA. John cant get a visa. Listen to Shane Tyson. He is cool AF.
comprehensive victory and its 3 a piece haha

Eddie putting oscar in the middle of his events 😂 oscar probably think he’s rubbing it in
I think the right man won. As a Fury fan that wanted him to win, he just didn't do enough imo. I could have potentially seen a draw but there's no way I saw him coming out with a win after basically taking the last 2 rounds off. His corner made a mistake telling him he was up in the the last two rounds.
i had it 115-112 usyk. (with two rounds that could have gone either way IMO) so 114-113 to either fighter was fine, or 114-114 if you had a draw round in there. Frank waren told us he thought fury won. then said he gave 5 rounds to usyk and one draw.. so his score card was 114-114 (im not sure how he thinks that means fury wins though) It really was close i was actually sober scoring it for a change, and I think all 3 score cards were fine.
I thought Fury nicked it by one, personally, but not mad at the decision. Fight was so good and so close. Will go down as a classic and had everything you want in a big fight. Been waiting countless years for a fight like that in the sport. Was legit a 50-50 from buildup to the end. To those who know boxing, one round doesn't win you a fight. I thought Fury was on his way to getting him out of there and then that one shot changed the fight, but i felt after 8/9 the following rounds weren't decisive and Fury actually hurt him in the 12th again and won the 12th. Unbelievable fight and i can't wait for the rematch. Respect to both men. Put on a fight that will live on and both are great guys. People hate on Fury, but the only exciting fights in this division are because of him. What heavyweight fights that don't have fury involved are you actually ever excited about? The man never gives up and always goes for the win, especially in big fights. And Usyk same thing. I didn't think he had enough of a dog in him to turn this around and he did. Just still buzzing from how good this fight was. Both these dude's are the real deal. Thanks to both.
