A quick round up of everything that I have missed in the last week.

I guess Furyocity beats Prime.

It is easy to hammer this as a gimmick fight, but all sports have gimmicks - events that sit outside the usual ebb and flow of the elite level of any sport.

Boxing finally has its own version and it's a good thing.

Where it's fair to challenge is whether it should have any boxing crossover at all. It feels like having current boxers and media figures connected leaves the fans confused.

The real question is whether Tommy Fury could beat KSI.

Every successful sport needs a strong governing body.

Boxing doesn’t have one.

The BBBoC do an amazing job on almost every facet of the sport, especially safety, but the Conor Benn scandal has shown how limited they really are.

You’d never get these issues with the NFL, NBA, of Premier League.

Until boxing fixes that, it’s a sport that will struggle to grow.

It is a rough time for Matchroom at the moment. They really need a win.

The stable is weak, the golden geese are laying no eggs and DAZN customers are sticking the knife in by cancelling their subscriptions.

With two of his cash cows coping with defeats and the other fighting a doping ban, Eddie Hearn has a lot on his plate.

Making it harder is the reality that DAZN doesn’t need boxing in the same way and Hearn is an incidental part of its growth journey.

How he copes with this will define a large part of his legacy. Currently, the glow recedes by the day and the halo has pretty much fallen off.

I will go on record and say Beterbiev will beat Bivol.

Bivol is too conventional to be a threat, but it will be competitive

The aim in every title fight is to go the 12, do the championship distance, and prove you have the resilience and capacity to do it.

Twice now, Anthony Yarde has started that climb, and twice he has had to stop.

Is the real reason behind this the lack of competitive fights on his record.

Would he benefit from a run at all his domestic rivals to build that resilience and in-ring stamina, which looks like the only missing piece?

Harsh reality is that the Eubank-Jones axis was doomed to failure.

One finds t hard to coach and one finds it hard to listen.

People need to choose their trainers carefully, because it's the fighter that has to live with the humiliation of a stoppage.

How many chances does somebody need to make a career for themselves?

When you win everything you can as an amateur, and you still find yourself in 10-rounders nine years later, you have to ask where it went wrong.

One place it didn’t go wrong was Hobson Promotions. There, your name was given meaning. In return, you were meant to hep elevate the promotion, but you chose to use Dennis Hobson as you stepping stone.

If there is any justice, you will do the right thing and respect the man that made you relevant again.
