Vicious body shot.

Canelo and Eubank jnr must the same PR firm! Embarrassing from both camps

Frank warren had a right go at eubank Jr. on boxnation last night.

Mick Conlan has gone pro with Top Rank (Bob Arum's promotion company).   That's some move for him.  The robbery got him some exposure, even if he had got a gold medal he wouldn't have got a fraction of that and he's benefitted big time from it. Fair play to him, deserves to benefit from it.

Paddy Barnes has also gone pro and signed with MGM (Matt Macklin's promotion company) which Jamie Conlan is also a part of.

But Eubank Sr is only looking after the welfare of the mere mortals that Jr might have to face if he continues to fight for the British title. 

In all seriousness though, junior needs to ditch his dad. He's a very exciting fighter who I believe, if handled in the correct way could cause problems for the very best boxers..... But under his current management team he is going nowhere and soon won't be touched by any promoters.

Ah ffs, Klitchko v Fury 2 is cancelled. Fury injured again apparently. He gave Haye some stick over his sort of thing.

Making a fool of himself

"Tyson has, this week, been declared medically unfit to fight. Medical specialists have advised that the condition is too severe to allow him to participate in the rematch and that he will require treatment before going back into the ring. Tyson will now immediately undergo the treatment he needs to make a full recovery"

That sounds like it could be code for alcohol or drugs related problems. They're being deliberately vague anyway.

History will tell our kids,  grandkids etc that Fury was heavyweight champion of the world... This actually belongs in the things that make you go what the feck thread!

Yeah was thinking the same myself, not being very specific.  The no show at last press conference would indicate it's not an injury this time.

[JimStynes]

Or mental health problems.

[bennydorano]

Fury won the quip of the press conference anyway "You couldn't knock a w**k out mate"😊

[Milltown Row2]

Or mental health problems.

For me this is what's wrong!! Dealing with being a champ has tipped him over the edge! As he was a little loco anyways

Loathe as I am to defend Fury, he won his World title by going to Germany and beating a bona fide champ in Klitschko.. there have been many worse world champs than him. The boy Joshua beat, Charles Martin?? is one that immediately springs to mind.

He's still a horrible human being though..

Fair play to Crolla,  but was just outclassed by a top fighter in Linares.  2 great warrior's.
