    Was he the one who wanted to fight me on a tennis court or was that someone else?

    Yes! That's right, I remember that now.

    He then did a bunch of pull-ups and went home, apparently.

    Had not thought of Roberto Duran in a long time. Figured he was long deceased … until I just looked him up.

    I saw him at some fights in Maine a few years ago. Looked like he’s finally gotten a handle on the yo-yo dieting. If only he could tell me how to do it.

    Great heavyweight fight on ESPN+, with Daniel Dubois coming off the canvas three times in the first round to win in the third.

    Fury and Chisora 3 is up next. Then Chocatito vs Estrada 3 later tonight.

    Quite the spectacle in front of a massive crowd but Fury-Chisora was a glorified sparring session. I thought Fury carried him for every second of that fight.

    Fury is a bad-bodied guy but he's a real throwback. He's quick, moves well for a guy that size, has a great jab and seems to have every punch in the book which he displayed tonight. He rarely seems to get rattled in fights and can't be intimidated.

    And not for nothing he's a big personality and heavyweight boxing needs one of those.

    Awful exhibition.

    Presumably he was helping Chisora earn one last big paycheck while Fury tuned up for Usyk.

    No reason in the world to make that fight otherwise.

    No idea if they had to paper the house but to get an outdoor crowd like that for a nothing main event in early December is pretty impressive.

    There was no guarantee it was going to be a snoozer, and it was the unified heavyweight champion. I don't know if you can call that a nothing main event.
