Both champions have something on the line here and this is pride as both refuse to lay down for the other opponent.

The build up to this fight has been long overdue as its five years in the making for both boxers. To this generation, it is the biggest fight but as history shows us all Mohammad Ali vs Joe Frazier beats it. The fight itself may not be the biggest but it certainly is the most lucrative as it is expected to bring in a grossing “$400m in ticket sales and global TV revenue” according to independent.co.uk. The fight has certainly captured the public and media interest and both fighters definitely will not disappoint especially when it comes to putting on a good show.
This is certainly something special and 50 years from now when people talk about this fight, you will know that these great legends just like the other great boxing legends really left their mark on this great sports.
