00:00I think the big talking point for this one comes after the bout, when Turkey Alashik gets into the ring
00:06and starts calling Eddie Hearn in, and that is when things get awkward.
00:11I talked earlier this week about how the Chisora-Wilder fight was one of the weirdest things I've seen in
00:17a while.
00:17Well, this was one of the more awkward things I've seen in a while, but you could totally see where
00:22both sides were kind of playing it, right?
00:24Because Turkey calls Eddie Hearn into the ring, he calls Anthony Joshua into the ring, neither of them move.
00:29And I'm going to suggest that not many people do that to Turkey, just to put that bluntly, and you
00:36can read into that what you will.
00:37But he eventually just gives up on calling him, and gives the mic to Tyson Fury, who makes the pro
00:44-wrestling-esque call-out of Anthony Joshua,
00:47I want you next, get in here and let's make it official.
00:49Joshua doesn't move, again, Eddie Hearn doesn't move.
00:52And so it's obvious that this is the fight that they are kind of positioning for, and that this is
00:56the fight that they are kind of getting ready for.
00:57But it's also obvious that they do not have all the I's dotted, all the T's crossed, or anything like
01:04that, or even anything close,
01:05if these guys aren't going to get in there and hype this one up.
01:09So it was a really awkward situation, but it was obviously Turkey, Fury to a certain degree as well, putting
01:16pressure on Joshua and Hearn to be like,
01:18no, we're going to do this now, we've got this big stage, it's on Netflix, the first time Netflix boxing
01:23has taken place in England.
01:25Dylan, it's a big stage, we're going to do it, we're going to make this huge announcement.
01:30And Eddie Hearn and Anthony Joshua very much were playing poker, and saying, no, you're not forcing us into anything
01:35here.
