Parker has earned it tbf

Honestly thought Parker was finished when he got battered by Joyce.

Yeah he’s won some since but he’s absolutely no chance against Usyk.yeah I know, stranger things have happened etc.

Anyone going to be watching Itauma v Whyte this evening? Guessing Itauma should win fairly easily but it’s a step up in quality of opponent

Getting it said early. Chisora must be looking at retirement by now, before the game catches up with him, get out with some health and enjoy your money and some quality of life.

Will be interesting to see what happens tonight. Itauma should win but boxing is littered with examples of up and comers beaten unexpectedly at the hands of experienced fighters and despite being relatively inactive, Whyte I think is a step up for him.

It's Whyte tonight not Chizzy.

For all the attempts at making super fights these days, this matchup is one of the most intriguing in recent memory. Agree that Itauma *should* step up by all logic, but Whyte is a problem for everybody. If Itauma puts him away, he’s absolutely the real deal.

In the meantime, Adeleye has frozen here since nearly ripping Hrgovic’s eyelid off.

I wondered what brought that little rant on, but thought I’d just leave you to it.
