Zzzzzzzzzzz.
Didn’t everyone say Joshua was ducking , but now we see ANOTHER damn issue. Just fight

50/50 split with no rematch clause !! Surely that’s the way to go
Was once The sport of Kings. Now boxing is an absolute shambles dominated by very rich, but poor inactive fighters who will do and say anything other than get in the ring against the best. Terrible sport to follow now very sadly.
