By Kieran Mulvaney - When Anthony Joshua put Francis Ngannou to sleep in the early hours of the morning in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia over the weekend, he almost certainly prompted some relief among boxing devotees anxious about the MMA fighter showing the same kind of success that he had against Tyson Fury a few months ago.

Honestly no one on boxing can complain about Saudi money. The sport has been corrupt for years. This is just the natural end point for boxing. It's not even really a sport tbh. There's 5 world champions per division and fighters avoid difficult fighters to keep the money rolling in.

after a while you start to turn away from a lot of boxing cards anymore, over the weekend these cards the games to make the Josh/N- fight seem important to boxing or is it impotent to boxing was staged from the begining. First the Fury fiasco then lets really make some money off this Ng guy double down on those that want to witness these bouts. Even for free and in a way they were to be had i passed on the card. Writer talks about how or who 7/8 hours of streach time-- well how else can Dumbzone try to influence a few more scripts and attempt to take over the boxing (un)conscious on a weekend. Man if you can sell it go ahead but it dont tell me it is important to boxing Impotent sure important no..............

There is something quite despicable about the matching of an online sensation with virtually no skills against a former great who is clearly way past it. I also think Paul v Tyson is another lousy fight.

Nice writings!

I'd like to see Mike Tyson take on both Paul brothers in alternating rounds and beat the living snot out of both.
