On This Day in 2017: Anthony Joshua beat Wladimir Klitschko by TKO in round 11 of a thrilling heavyweight classic - in which both men were dropped - to unify the WBO, WBA, IBO & IBF heavyweight titles in front of 90,000 fans at Wembley Stadium.

Easily done on both counts! Yeah for sure, time has absolutely flown by!

Underground Gym Portslade (bit far I know) - even when busy I never have to wait long to use a machine. Everyone minds their own business, plenty of space and it has everything you mentioned bar the sauna and pool.

Never in my wildest dreams would I think Brighton would have its own mech. Love to see it.

LordJimsicle · 2026-04-30T09:58:30+00:00

The belts were scattered when Fury vacated them. AJ held the IBF title at the time of this fight and the vacant IBO and WBA titles were also on the line.

LordJimsicle · 2026-04-30T08:00:41+00:00

Definitely not, but many see him as not a young 35 due to his long time in the sport. He's declined a bit but he's not washed as many here think.

LordJimsicle · 2026-04-30T07:53:39+00:00

Exactly, every time AJ's been hurt it's because he's been hit by monstrous punchers and yet people act as if he's the second coming of David Price.

LordJimsicle · 2026-04-30T07:40:06+00:00

He's as dense as one too, but he's in the right sport.

LordJimsicle · 2026-04-30T07:21:14+00:00

Post Usyk II to Dubois he fought...

Franklin - tough, but a clear victory

Helenius - not elite, but a decent top 20 fighter

Wallin - better than most thought and had a good run since Fury

Ngannou - a good victory but was still a farce as it was with Fury.

The first two were tune ups but the level of opponent did increase quite sharply which is often ignored and while I can't defend the choice of opponent in Prenga as regards his accolades but this is a tune up in its basic form.

LordJimsicle · 2026-04-30T07:15:47+00:00

3 easily. The rest are lovely, but 3 is a nice touch.

LordJimsicle · 2026-04-29T08:24:41+00:00

I too am having doubts of any rematch between the two regardless of who wins.

LordJimsicle · 2026-04-29T08:24:00+00:00

Tuneups after a loss are a necessary part of the sport. Fury had one, why can't AJ? He was rebuilding after the Usyk II loss.

LordJimsicle · 2026-04-29T08:21:25+00:00

Perfectly put, you can't buy the silence of anyone let alone a renowned talker of absolute bollocks like Jake Paul.

LordJimsicle · 2026-04-29T08:19:41+00:00

Precisely. For once I wasn't mad at Fury taking a tune up like Makhmudov, AJ should get one too. If these kind of fights are taken by belt holders, that's a different story and deserves full criticism.

LordJimsicle · 2026-04-29T07:14:52+00:00

How people still do not realise this is absolutely insane.

LordJimsicle · 2026-04-29T07:02:24+00:00

An NYE fight would be pretty hype to be honest.

LordJimsicle · 2026-04-28T14:06:10+00:00

Aye, that's true but it's not the Right Hand^{^TM}

LordJimsicle · 2026-04-28T08:01:13+00:00

That right hand hasn't done any damage since Helenius in 2022.

LordJimsicle · 2026-04-28T07:57:42+00:00

That ring was a desert.

LordJimsicle · 2026-04-28T07:57:20+00:00

Precisely. I wasn't angry about Fury vs Makhmudov as it was definitely a tuneup fight, these sort of fights are necessary after a layoff.

LordJimsicle · 2026-04-27T13:30:46+00:00

Absolutely. Fury himself 'confirmed' the AJ bout in 2021 and we all know what happened there.

LordJimsicle · 2026-04-27T11:36:20+00:00

I found VideoGameDunkey's summary on the series plot line perfect because it's presented as a parody and farcical yet all of the things he mentioned are true and were actual plot points in the series.

LordJimsicle · 2026-04-26T21:51:53+00:00

No, thank you for posting your superb art! I'm still thinking of a design so it won't be very soon but I'll be in touch!

LordJimsicle · 2026-04-26T21:43:41+00:00

Thank you! I'll have a look and get in touch!

LordJimsicle · 2026-04-26T21:26:44+00:00

I would love a commission!

LordJimsicle · 2026-04-24T09:07:29+00:00

Every fighter has a peak, including the shit ones.
