You're spot on there. I also wish inoue would fight outside of Japan. The Saudis should be all over himNick Ball is my current favourite active fighter - absolutely class

I'm still in shock how bad that ref was. I'm trying to think of a worse Boxing referee performance but I genuinely can't.
The 4th round was bad enough. Then he out-does himself by going the full 10 count whilst AJ is too busy faceplanting the floor, didn't even wave the fight off ffs![]()
Two very questionable calls. When he was sat on the ropes he was out. Then the slip.I'm still in shock how bad that ref was. I'm trying to think of a worse Boxing referee performance but I genuinely can't.

Dubois does the forearm thing but gets pulled. Fury does it all the time.
Different belts and different reasons though. The IBF are very strict on mandatory defences - the last time anyone defended the IBF against their mandatory challenger was Joshua vs Pulev in Covid times in 2020. The WBO (AJ vs Usyk), WBC (Fury vs Whyte) and WBA (Usyk vs Dubois) have all been defended against mandatory challengers since then, nobody could say the IBF aren't due a defence.Dubois battered him, but boxing a bit of a joke unfortunately. 2 people fighting for a title that neither of them earned, having a boxing association remove a belt from a unified champion weeks after unifying all of the belts.
Ridiculous. Tyson Fury sat his arse on his belt for how long? 3 title defences in 3 years, 1 of which was against a handpicked near-40 year old that he'd easily beaten twice prior.
Inoue is amazing fighter. Hes got the belts so people need to come to him.You're spot on there. I also wish inoue would fight outside of Japan. The Saudis should be all over him
They are holding massive events there with him headlining. They just do it differently. Quiet respectful crowds as you will have experienced while living there.Inoue is amazing fighter. Hes got the belts so people need to come to him.
Im sure if money was mad hed fight outside Japan but hea earned the position to say no, you come here.
Theres nothing stopping a major event in japan, it has stadiums, infrastructure why not hold an event there?
I lived there for a year and it's incredible. Went to sumo tournament and that is a sight to behold. Also went to MMA tournament, another great show. Met don frye and few others. Don frye couple of inches taller than me, bout 5x the size of me.
Cant argue with that, but again if he's getting well paid where hes at why bother?They are holding massive events there with him headlining. They just do it differently. Quiet respectful crowds as you will have experienced while living there.
Japan is a dominant force currently in the very light weight classes so will be more appreciated over there than in the US or the UK.

He waved the fight off and then changed it to a slip as well earlier.I'm still in shock how bad that ref was. I'm trying to think of a worse Boxing referee performance but I genuinely can't.

Any source on that? Eddie seemed to imply he did on the night. I mean, it sounds bonkers for a challenger to get a rematch clause, but it was certainly DDD's biggest purse to date, so I can see why he would do it.Joshua didn't have a rematch clause
It’s a funny one, Frank reckons Joshua had it in his contract but Dubois didn’t have it in his.Any source on that? Eddie seemed to imply he did on the night.

It's all confusing tbh, now he says theirs an option aswell as other fighters. But he's pushing for Joshua v Fury as they aint getting any youngerAny source on that?

Going to be a very hard sell now. Can’t see many people paying to watch him on tele.Hearn sounds absolutely desperate now
