    100%.

    Total and utter mismatch.

    Fury spent too much time in the WWE. Him and his wee * brother made a mockery of boxing.

    I'm glad Joshua takes his own sport seriously.

    Fury is a *, I hope somecunt smashes him. Can't see Usyk laying a glove on him sadly. But hope he somehow pulls it off.

    I would like to see a fired up hungry Joshua fight Fury.

    Joshua has taken a lot of stick on here for years, but he’s an absolute elite heavyweight and as I said - the best finisher in the weight class and one of the best in the sport.

    Ngannou deserves credit just for being there. Shocked everyone against Fury, but it definitely warped people’s perception of how able he actually would be at this level.

    That’s boxing for you. Your last fight is basically all that matters. One of the commentators just asked if this win makes AJ the best heavyweight in the world :giggle1:

    Fury looked concerned at ringside, don't think he will fancy a bout with Joshua now. Would like to see joshua fight someone decent next, no idea who tbf

    You could see Ngannou was almost out of it after the 2nd knockdown, and definitely didn’t want to continue.

    He’s a proud guy, and understandably doesn’t want to be seeing quitting, but that’s exactly where refs and corners need to step in.

    Might be.

    I don’t remember him being like that before? Maybe the pressure of him holding all that in and trying to put an act on became too much and now he’s just himself.

    It’s quite strange.

    Wouldn't write Fury off. But he has to focus. AJ is rejuvenated under Ben Davison.

    Usyk first though. That won't be easy.

    Looking forward to Taylor Catterall rematch first though.

    5 years ago I'd have loved to see fury to humiliate AJ now I'm hoping AJ humbles the *.

    Gutted for Francis but the levels was showing even before the KO.

    Taking the full 10 count twice in such a short space of time heavy knockdowns could see it being stopped if it was AJ.

    Nothing. It’s just the way he is in interviews, something is always slightly off.

    Sometimes things are waaay off.

    He’s an oddball, but I do thing he’s a genuine oddball.

    Prefer that to the super polished Olympian or the gangland enforcer gimmick.

    That KO was brutal.
