The build up to this fight has been extraordinarily long. Almost an hour after the co-main event came to an end there has been no sign of either fighter emerging from their rooms. The heavyweight champ is now making his entrance to the ring by jogging around and giving the crowd a shadow boxing display on the stage as Pretty Woman blares over the speakers. I thought Ngannou won but was also 0% shocked that he didn’t get the decision. It wasn’t decisive enough and with 3 judges 2 always go into “that round was close I will default to the champ again” mode. Regardless — an incredible boxing debut for him.

Usyk vs Fury 2, if it goes ahead as planned, is unlikely to be for the undisputed titles. The IBF is expected to strip Usyk of its belt, allowing mandatory challenger Filip Hrgovic to fight for the gold while Usyk boxes Fury again. When Usyk and Fury finally squared off, Usyk was a split-decision winner, retaining the unified titles and taking Fury’s WBC belt and unbeaten record. That fight, like the main event, could eventually have big ramifications for Australia’s biggest fight names.

Opened back in May last year, it has the largest capacity of any indoor arena in Europe, with 23,500 seats. The arena has plans to host around 120 events per year. In addition to boxing and live music, there are proposals to host many sporting events, including basketball, netball, tennis, esports, and gymnastics. Last October’s card featuring the Jack Catterall vs Regis Prograis fight was the first-ever boxing event at the Co-op Live.

Jeff Horn hasn’t won himself any respect at all outside of Australia and no one expects him to have much of a chance and everyone in the US certainly wants Crawford to win including ESPN and Top Rank. Glad Horn made weight, it was supposed to be easier this time considering his better diet. Golden Boy didn’t have a good weekend. That Munguia – Ali looked a real mismatch. The realistic fight would have been vs Ward but Golovkin never moved up. Taking out his frustration on the poor guy.

The commentators were complaining about the ref but aj was holding. At the distance they were engaging throughout the fight. If either were a lesser opponent, they would’ve gotten tagged and gone down. Imagine 2 undefeated heavyweights with 59 out of 60 fights combined resulting in KO’s? I would favour Wilder over Parker should Parker get by Joshua.

• Looked like AJ was worried about Parker’s speed.
• Yeah this was a damn good close fight people are tripping.
• Great to see a lot of boxing in recent times skip ‘Main Event’ for Fox Sports channels instead.
• For those looking for live (illegal) streams, they are about.

Are boxing weight classes limited by height or reach?

The International Boxing Federation (IBF) employs a singular approach to the weigh-in process for championship bouts. The boxers are required to go through a weight check the morning of the fight and make the weight at the official weigh-in the day before the fight. During this second and final weigh-in, the participant in the fight may not exceed the weight limit by more than 4.5 kilograms (10 pounds) higher than their starting weight. If a boxer does not show up for the morning weigh-in or cannot make weight, the fight can still place, but the IBF title will not be on the line.

But Mundine got the last laugh on the stoopid white man by taking a dive and having his closest circle of mates bet hard on a KO in the first round. usyk-vs-parker.com Edit- haha just found out Tommy won this- vacant World Boxing Foundation World Super Welterweight Title, as well as 2 other budget belts… I would have thought by the way he was about to land, he would smack his head on the canvas.
