We'll see. Price will be back. Don't forget what he did to Audley.

Tickets were £100 each for the lower tier, although the people sitting next to me had paid £300 for the same ticket through a reseller!
I probably will go to Wembley but would want to see who he's fighting first and who's on the undercard.

Thats just the way it is with the belts, each body has their own mandatory challenger and if you don't fight them you face getting stripped.
Anyway if you want to compare Fury with Joshua you need to look at who Fury was fighting in his 16th fight. It was journeyman Nicolai Firtha at the kings hall in Belfast! Fury had 8 years as a professional and 25 fights before winning a world title so you can't knock AJ for picking up the IBF title at this early stage in his career.

Lol good logic in here.
HE'S NOT FOUGHT ANYONE PROPER YET, HE'S NOT A DESERVED CHAMP
HE'S SHIT, HE'LL GET SPARKED BY FURY
How the hell do you know, he's not fought anyone yet apparently
Anyway I expect he'll be facing Parker next, very similar to AJ and would be a good fight from the looks of it, albeit a short one if one of them connects well. Saw alot to like from AJ compared to the Whyte fight, think if he'd have came out like that in the Whyte fight that would never have gone on so long.
Ernest and co.This is not a prediction this is a SPOILER, AJ will unify the titles and slap Fury about in the process.

Considering they're pretty much the the same age. Why hasn't AJ faced a contentder who has actually fought a world champion?
Anyone would think Fury was 10 years older than Joshua looking at the type of fighters he's had. Nonetheless, Charles Martin didn't even win the IBF title to lose in the first place. He won due to injury without even fighting a world champ.
AJ still needs to be tested at world level before the arse lickers start claiming he's the new Ali.
PS who the hell goes around calling themselves Humble? What a prat!

Err he has...Kevin Johnson dispatched him in round 2. Never been stopped and fought for the Vitali Klitschko for the WBC title also took Fury the full 12 rounds.
Pro boxing isn't really about age its about experience and there is very little way of fast tracking boxers, they need the fights and the rounds under their belts. Joshua has actually been stepped up pretty quickly by normal standards, Wilder fought over 30 fights before facing anyone of note and Fury over 20. I remember Fury getting dropped by Steve Cunningham (who is basically a cruiserweight) in round 2 in his first step up to world level.

I forgot about Kingpin
. (My error) Didn't he retire straight after fighting AJ? Hardly the best of examples. Sounds like Fast car knows when to pick a fight.for AJ...To be fir though, even he gave AJ a a better fight than Charles Martin.

To be fair if Joshua had wanted it, you would have been right

Even AJ himself plays down the hype, at least he is not the one getting carried away

Because Fury has been fighting at Pro level for twice the amount of time AJ has.

Age is irrelevant here. Where was Tyson Fury after 16 fights? Before Wlad, is there anyone on Fury's record that AJ would not stop? AJ beats them all a lot more convincingly than Fury did. And to be honest, I think he stops Wlad early now too.
AJ vs Fury would be a great fight, and one I think AJ would have a great chance in. Wlad was far too slow to beat Fury, AJ's hand speed would cause Tyson problems.

Obviously a man with knowledge do you thi nk Fury will win the rematch or will Vlad up his game for a last throw of the dice. My view is he will win and regsin the title and then retire.

Was at the fight, it was my first boxing match attendance. Luckily for me I was in a box but here are my two live boxing match observations.
A lot of inbred planks wandering around thinking that they were the main event of the night and calling each other mugs and girls wearing not much with peroxide hair.
Also is it normal for everyone to start throwing their pints about when the fight is over? I tend to finish my pint, especially if I had qued god knows how long for it as I imagine the muppets above me had done...

I tend to ignore all of that and just watch the boxing but it was quite funny watching the trophy wife/ girlfriends trying to negotiate the steps at the O2 in huge stiletto heels and with their tits hanging out everywhere!
Luckily I was directly in front on the disabled section on Saturday night so didn't get any beer over me but it can get a bit rowdy.

Unfortunately no matter how much Wlad tries to 'up his game' I just don't think he has the physical attributes to be effective against Fury. It's a shame, but I think Wlad is past it now.
He lost the first fight because he was not able to get his shots in. Tyson made him look old. He did't have the footwork, the reactions or the hand speed. He can't improve this. If Tyson 'boxes' him again, he will win comfortably.
Joshua however, has the speed.

Makes at least 3 of us NSCers in attendance then. Pretty impressive.
That is pretty normal for the boxing, unfortunately. I hope you still enjoyed the evening though?
I think Joshua would make short work of Tyson Fury. He's miles better, much stronger, quicker, more intelligent, the guy punches so hard that no one will be able to stand up to him. His combination of power and speed is absolutely lethal. The only one that might give him a tough time is Deonty Wilder

Unfortunately boxing events do tend to draw the lowest form of pond life as well as the true boxing fans. Did you see the two peroxide blondes behind Froch and Nelson on Sky. Desperately wanting to get on the tele. At least AJ doesn't draw too many idiots looking for their own Saturday night fight.
