I recently enquired to a football team, bit of 5-a-side fun. What I got in response is biblical.
A 14 page club guide. One four. For a 5-a-side team. Within it it absolute footballing gold, the highlights of which I am now going to share with you.....
He has never won a world title, may never win a world title.
But Eubank Jr will always be my hero for sitting here and calling out all these Promoters to their faces ha ha ha ha ha. All of them, raging.
You know how to tell everyone is shit scared here of Ngannou? John Fury.
John Fury doesn't take his shirt off. He doesn't get up and throw a bottle. He doesn't start talking about being fighting men.
John Fury sits and nods and contemplates his life option here.

Let's have it absolutely right. Tommy Fury has shat it from Jake Paul.
Every single person in boxinhg who has criticised or laughed at Jake Paul as a non-boxer needs to direct that energy and more to Tommy Fury
Big fan of seeing Pro boxers slating 6-0 Jake Paul's record, as if their own first six opponents weren't Bulgarian binmen paid a grand to come for a walk around.
@ErrolSpenceJr
you been talking to the mostโฆand Well I am reinstated in the WBC. ๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ Iโll have you next! You worry about handling your drink driving convictions. Wanker.
Britain's first qualified solicitor and boxer.
Which is completely irrelevant, because what really matters is he has the best fucking boxing moniker I have EVER seen. Oscar 'De La Lawyer' McCracken.
Move over Steve 'Young brother of Stephane' Jamoye, there's a new main event.
If you put ยฃ10 on a treble of Hughie Fury, Chris Eubank and Savannah Marshall to all win tonight, you get back ยฃ10.06. The odds are 0.06/1.
I'm all for giving Sky time to build, but say it as it is - this card is absolutely horrific.
People laugh at Andrew Flintoff's boxing career (undefeated, 1-0) but he beat Richard Dawson who beat Ty Cobb who beat Richard Carmack who beat Carl Davis who beat Bert Cooper who beat Tony Morrison who beat Leon Spinks who beat Muhammad Ali.
Therfore I summise Flintoff > Ali
If Khan vs Brook gets made it will be the equivalent of a Carole Vorderman sex tape being released.
You know it would have been better years ago, but you'll still likely watch it and pretend to others that you didn't.
"I've never cheated in my life"
Amir Khan speaks exclusively to Sky News after discovering he has been given a two-year ban from all sports after he tested positive for a banned substance following his fight with Kell Brook last year ๐ฝ
Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte happens this month at Wembley stadium.
Got to be honest, doesn't FEEL like it's going to happen this month at Wembley stadium, does it?
Don't write off KSI & Logan Paul making an impact in boxing. People laughed at Flintoff's career but he beat Richard Dawson who beat Ty Cobb who beat Richard Carmack who beat Carl Davis who beat Bert Cooper who beat Tony Morrison who beat Leon Spinks who beat Ali.
Flintoff > Ali
Nearly 4 months since AJ vs Usyk and we haven't got a date or venue for a rematch. We don't even know if a rematch is happening, despite a rematch clause. Meanwhile other belt is going through arbitration around % splits
Why does boxing have to be so shit? Just get on with it
Date please. Bring your 50 and Iโll bring mine. Iโll have 2 people with me to make sure everything is fair and above board. Winners takes all ๐๐ฝ
Imagine you're in the pub and a stocky ginger lad in a pale blue tracksuit and his nob slightly sticking out, with rainbow Nike trainers kicked off.
"Sit down lads, I've got this one"
Ah, how deceptive looks can be.
Throwback Wednesday, to when Harry Maguire rocked up to an England training squad with his luggage in a black bin bag.
What an absolute bloke. No pissing about, chuck some clothes in a bag and get to duty.
Dillian Whyte doesn't get enough credit for bringing up others in his stable. 4 of the 6 undercard fighters tomorrow are there because of Whyte.
He did it the hard way, small hall and built up. It's brilliant that he forges opportunities for others as part of his own rise too
@pauljohnsontog
These things get discussed in private. I admire that he's got the bollocks to bring it out in public. Perhaps he's discussed in private and fed up of it? Don't know.
Decided to go for a meal because you were only a reserve that week? You can do it for the next three weeks too mate, as that's how long your ban will be!
Hearn on Dr Usman:
"Conor Benn has had no association with him. I believe he met him once and no previous conversations of conversations after. It's not like he's been spending time with him, he hasn't"
Cool. Cool. Cool.
I'll just leave this here, my bro.
"A lot of rubbish has been written" ๐๏ธ

I genuinely worry the day I retire in some 30ish years time, Carl Froch will turn up at my retirement party just to cunt me off. It's like a hobby of his.
๐ณ Carl Froch on James DeGale's retirement: โHe was a great fighter. Youโve gotta have massive respect for him, but was he the best of the best? He wasnโtโฆ If weโd met, Iโd have been too strong for him. Iโd have backed him up and absolutely smashed him to bits.โ [

Think I've peaked as a casual boxing fan.
Woke up this morning to search for the Mayweather vs Logan Paul highlights, only to find out its happening tonight.
Since
@ITVBoxing
have come back we've had Pacquaio Broner, Plant Uzcategui, Eubank DeGale, Dirrell Yildrim & Spence Garcia. Total cost of ยฃ20 in 2 months. As a boxing fan, compare that to what Sky/BT have given in 2 months. Huge gulf in value.
Might be my new favourite ever Gloves Are Off moment.
Behind all the dislike and the fact they're building up to sharing a ring for 12 rounds, it's just two blokes chatting and ending up talking about a moment on a TV programme.
In a world of doom & gloom, let's not forget that an interviewer once asked Gervonta Davis if he believes in decentralised block chain, what Leonard Ellerbe's house looks like and when he's going to fight Garcia.
Eubank Jr handling Conor Benn with absolute ease is a hill I am willing to die on ahead of this weekend.
If you are picking Benn by KO, I'm going to need to see both your answer and your workings out.
Imagine having arguably the greatest boxer of all time, giving one minute of advice to one of the UK's most box office fighters..... But not being able to hear it because we're being shown Voltarol adverts and ASUS laptops. On a PPV fuck sake.
You might be playing at a standard that uses red & blue bibs, but my lord you'd better believe there are the chosen ones who are the "wise footballers among us"
If a boxer looks really average, then increases hugely in power and ability against better opponents, then tests positive for PERFORMANCE ENHANCING drugs, then comes back and has lost the power and ability he had developed....
People are entitled to ask questions.
How do I pitch a reality TV show to a channel?
In short, Billy Joe Saunders and Kid Galahad tour Yorkshire brothels, seeing which drug addicted prostitute will do the most ludicrous thing for ยฃ150 of cocaine.
Titled: What's The Crack?
I sense large numbers here.
Depressingly familiar for boxing fans who are still sat in the official TicketMaster queue to grab a ticket for Fury vs Whyte, while trade accounts are already selling at 4 x face value on Stubhub.
Such a fucking horrible system.
Fury entered on a throne to the least boxing song you could envisage. He put in a career best performance to dominate an undefeated champion, then left the scene with two Hall of Fame promoters with a combined age of 155 singing karaoke.
That's my heavyweight champion.
