    World championship fight ffs

    It's about time there was just one world champion in each weight.

    The fact that either if these could claim to be world champ along side of Joshua is a joke

    Must be one of worse fights I've ever seen

    Fury has been robbed there. Close in my opinion, I had Fury by 2. To see two judges give it 10/2 is an absolute disgrace.

    Yeah definitely not right again. I had Parker by 2. But the margin was definitely off

    Was a close fight , I thought fury did enough to win fight , but sometimes judges lean to the champion and the challenger has to clearly win the fight to get the belt

    That’s true, I thought it was very close, the 114-114 judge had it about right.

    If the other two had given it Parker by a couple there’d be no issue.

    There is no way he won ten rounds though, 8 clear is a joke.

    To be fair when Joshua got his world title shot it was also seen as a complete joke when his best win was at British level & his opponent Charles Martin won the belt by his opponents knee giving way.

    Joshua's proven to be a quality heavyweight but Parker - Hughie Fury is just as credible of a heavyweight title fight than Martin - Joshua was.

    Anyway it was a terrible fight, both fighters won 4 rounds clearly for me & then there were 4 swing rounds which could've gone either way. With a bit more experience & confidence to sit down on his punches Hughie would've won clearly.

    The 118-110 cards were a disgrace

    Very fair summary. Either Wilder or Joshua should have very little trouble disposing of Parker. Joshua needs to build a bigger reputation in the US before a fight with Wilder will take place, so the wait continues

    It ought to be next Spring.

    If Joshua beats Pulev & Wilder beats Ortiz they've beaten the best available contenders (Fury & Povetkin banned & Wlad retired) so I can't see any reason to delay it further.

    Saying that I make Ortiz favourite against Wilder so I bet Joshua ends up fighting the Haye - Bellew rematch winner instead

    Well assuming Haye actually has use of both his legs this time should only be one winner. And he will definitely be throwing himself into the mix for a good pay day.
    Really looking forward to the Wilder Ortiz fight be good to see him have a real test. We know Wilder has massive power but he is very clumsy.
