(Contaminated) Food For Thought returns next Monday. It’s been too long and I’m excited to get it moving again after a couple of years. Let’s go… #boxing #CFFT

@BoxingShrew This guy is a f*cking idiot, I’m not sure if he’s still hacked or just needs sectioning, saying Lyson should be castrated, WTF!

The level of analysis going into Usyk/Rico, the fight that should never have been, is pathetic. Stoppage was the right decision against a kick boxer, end of - that simple to summarise!

“Perhaps, on reflection, there were much better options than Rico Verhoeven for title defence number six.” 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 boxingscene.com/articles/oleks…

My fear with such delusive ‘controversy’ this past weekend was the performances and wins that should be at the forefront, would be sidelined or reduced to a sentence or 60 second chat. With this piece by @alexleboxe from @SportDeSang thankfully, that’s not the case 👏🏽 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

…a time to celebrate 𝐁𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐒𝐇 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐒…🇬🇧 We can talk about gimmes and easy fights, but a world title is still a world title. It also bores a big hole in the tired rhetoric that 𝐁𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐒𝐇 𝐁𝐎𝐗𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐈𝐒 𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐃 ☠️ Latest article out now. Subscribe for 🆓 🔗 open.substack.com/pub/sportdesan…

“And that’s his secret, peanuts and Pepsi.” 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

“And there was Sinatra, snapping pictures on the ring apron, the best seat in a packed house, camera in hand for LIFE magazine.” 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

You might have come for the pyramids but you left talking about the fight…

“With the sanctioning bodies battling for relevance…the WBC decided that Verhoeven’s one boxing match against a guy who was 0-5 qualified him for a shot…Let’s not even talk about the fighters he leapt over in the queue.” - Tris Dixon 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 substack.com/home/post/p-19…

Thank God for Turki hey, if it wasn’t for him there wouldn’t have ever been any good fights in boxing, no great visionary, no one to read a room…jeez, the brains + creation of boxing, its saviour…🫠🫠🫠

Beyond laughable hearing words like “robbery” for Rico, the man who should never have been fighting Usyk/for any belts in the first place, absolute f*cking clowns 😂😂😂

I wish the podcasters & so called experts took a moment to think about what occurred & watch this clip back. You can see the knockdown. The way Rico slumps, the mouthpiece & the way his legs react when the actions commences, @Mark_Lyson got it 100% right.

The state of him walking over to get the gumshield back in. Wasn't a bad stoppage at all imagine Usyk going at him when his legs were like that

@UKFightNight1 Totally lost to utter bullshit + everyone has their bullshit tinted glasses on too, total loss of reality in the sport + with its actual pro’s. Rico has no business being given a rematch + if he does, there should be ZERO belts on the line. I’ve no sympathy for him.

@DoLL_1987 Boxings absolutely knackered if this is what we're doing with our champions.

Crazy how Kabayel, the pro boxer, who has waited long enough for his legit world title fight, was made to look like the inconvenient imposter in the ring last night against the Kick Boxer who had no business being in that fight from jump, and should NOT be given a rematch!

Boxing masterclass. Brilliant jack Catteral, well done Stephen smith and John Gillies. A jack catterall who’s busy with his backhand is gonna be so hard to beat 👏 🔥

Jack Catterall, what a performance! Such a patient but calculated and dominant display - looked like he could’ve done 15 last night. I hope this leads him into the most fruitful years of his career, so deserved.
