Well as you know yourself champ you lose a good bit weight I camp also. Due to my infection I went into fight week around a stone/14lbs over looking at my old diaries. I don’t think I urinated until the evening of the fights drug test I remember well… very yellow!

Dead on my feet ill before the bell rang, 7 & a half lbs to lose 4 hours before the weighin & still fought like this. F**k me I wasn’t just good but the reason we wear kilts is because trousers can’t hold balls that big! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🙏🏽🥊🤣

Call me old fashioned, but I think it’s insane that a member of a fighter’s team is also commentating on the fight.

Not enough people who had balls around him you mean. Alex should have been in hospital and nowhere near a boxing ring that night. Gomez knew it and thats why he refused Alex the rematch..

Michael told me the same to my face. He was the man that night. His preperation was perfect. Kerry Kayes, Billy Graham, Ricky Hatton for sparring. I trained alone & someone should have pulled me out fight week. Why I’ll always look after my sons!
Clint Neale@CJSN1982Oct 25
I thought that was the case mate! I was gutted! In hindsight, would you have pulled out?? A fully fit AA, wins that fight, no question!!

In bed all fight week on antibiotics, later fined by the board for it. Had to drop 7& a half lbs a few hours before the weighin. Dead on my feet prior to the bout. But we’re fighters, or where. I was gonna die before I quit. 🥊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@AlexArthur1 was really ill in fight week, if I remember correctly? Shouldn’t have fought! A fit Arthur would have destroyed him! Showed incredible heart but shouldn’t have been in there!

Prime Ali wins easiest, Lennox next, then Prime Evander, followed by big George then Tyson. But they all beat him imo. I’m not saying there’s not a stage Usyk can beat them also.

What would Oleksandr Usyk’s record be if he fought each of these heavyweight legends?
