WBA designated @MatchroomBoxing as the Promoter of the Year thanks to the contribution that the British company made to #boxing during this last year. The company, led by @EddieHearn , promoted big fights during this year and expanded in favor of the sport.

Ban the Grand National debate on C5 with a comedian, a dancing on ice judge and a TV personality in a pink one-piece who says she was going to have her own opinion but on hearing the first sentence from dancing on ice now agrees with him. Society today, right there.

I had no chips in that game but it’s not just winning for Usyk, it’s how he won it. Constantly pressing, always in the danger zone but ever trying to win and having to respond from adversity. Then hurting Fury and a few punches from a sensational win. Superhuman.

The two main takeouts from last night’s boxing: when you get evenly matched fights there isn’t a Sport to compare. 6 hours to complete 6 fights which actually lasted the equivalent of 4.5 fights is frankly ridiculous. If fans/customers are begging for the finish it’s an issue.
