Well the first press conference was yesterday and it was as thrilling as a spelling bee with one boring Saudi dignitary after another telling one boring thing after another.

In the final ten minutes or so of the press conference the fighters were brought out and had an intense stare down. Usyk looks like he has some training fat to lose but Joshua looks close to on point for his weight range for the fight.

Very good undercard for this PPV:

Zhang-Hrgovic (IBF final eliminator)
Smith-Bauderlique (WBC final eliminator)
Jack-Rivera (hopefully Rivera beats the privileged Jack)
Spong-Tabiti (Spong is a PED cheat, hopefully the smaller Tabiti beats him)

Yes the card is deep. Hrgovic vs Zhang could be an excellent main event on it's own. Spong failed a PED test heading into Usyk's first heavyweight fight or he would have been beaten similar to Chazz Witherspoon.

PS, Hearn said he would never work with Big Idiot Miller but he is working with Spong??? I guess if you fail a PED test and the world isn't watching and it cost Eddie Hearn nothing then he will work with you .

I thought he was fighting in the army
He stayed about a month and received permission to leave to train for this fight. There is an interesting video on youtube about how most of the foreign fighters who rush to fight for Ukraine are leaving. A Ukrainian soldier called most of them cowards. It is on Crux videos.
