Hype around so-called 'fights' is a nonsense
GLOVE & HATE

THIS week a clip popped up on my social media from DAZN Boxing and I made the mistake of watching it.

It involved two hosts who regularly present boxing content on either DAZN or other broadcasters discussing the KSI against Tommy Fury 'fight' this weekend in Manchester.

One of them decided to bring up Canelo Alvarez against Jermell Charlo and how going up in weight affected the latter before he was well beaten by the former.

They tried to qualify this comparison to the so-called 'fight' this weekend by saying the skill level isn't similar as apparently there will be some sort of weight discrepancy when KSI meets Fury.

Yet here they were still treating this as real boxing and comparing a clash for the undisputed super-middleweight titles between two elite fighters to that of a former novice professional boxer against someone not fit enough to be in a ring.
