Sounds like carnage on tonight's DAZN card, teargas set off in the crowd during Joe Laws warmup so he's sacked it off and refused to fight

It's prob past that TBF. Basically in Khan V Brook territory where the win means nothing as both are seen as shot. Case of who has the most left and if the winner wants to get sparked out of Itauma for one last payday afterwards.

There's zero chance of Fury ever fighting Itauma...it's just not in his makeup...

He won't hold world titles while Fury is active - so it's a big no.

Not entirely sure that I wouldn't pick Nakatani to win a rematch if it happens, showed a bit too much respect in the early going and doubt he would do that again. Inoue is still a phenomenal fighter but think there's been enough evidence over the last 12 months to suggest that he's in gradual decline and have never seen him getting outboxed in the manner that he did in rounds 8-10 yesterday.

The way he responded in the last 2 rounds was hugely impressive though.

Seen more than enough 'prospect vs journeymen/no hoper' mismatches clogging up these sort of cards to last a lifetime so personally prefer seeing a well-matched card even if the names/quality on show aren't particularly great.

Looks like it'll be a bloody long night even by Warren standards either way though.

Rafferty vs Essuman looks the pick of the undercard I reckon. Two come-forward, pressure fighters who don't really have a lot of variety to their game in terms of tactics and generally make for really entertaining fights.

Only possible caveat is that Essuman has recently turned 37 and has been in a few gruelling fights in the last couple of years so there is a chance that those could catch up with him.
