Well, if nothing else, they finally had a press conference and their first ever face-off…

I still refuse to believe it until I actually see them in the ring throwing punches but I guess it’s now officially closer to happening than it’s ever been before.

Nick Khan sat next to Turki at the presser with a face like thunder that he wasn't allowed to speak was a joy to watch. The sound issues they kept having were shite. It was all a bit of a boring presser really. No tables thrown, no one called anyone a minge and Max Kellerman proving that English is not his first language. Whenever he said "Lennox Lewis" he really emphasised the "Ox" part of his name for some reason.

Genuinely, what the hell has Dua Lipa got to do with this fight?😄 Turki at the presser...

"I wanted it at Wembley, tell the Mayor, tell Dua Lipa". 

Turki in love with her or something?

Dua Lipa had been approached to perform at the fight and turned it down. Turki is not used to anyone saying no to him, let alone a woman.

I think most boxing fans imagined a Fury vs Joshua press conference to feature the boxers trading plenty of barbs, Hearn and Smith trading barbs with Warren, Big John Fury piping up, and all sorts of tension.

Instead we got a brief argument about a sparring session, fan questions, Max Kellerman, and Turki waffling on about gibberish. 

It's probably going to be the biggest fight of all-time on these shores, but as a spectacle and a sporting contest, it's well past its sell by date.
