"They're gonna boo me. I'm gonna go back at them and tell them to suck it!”
Spoke to @JoelEmbiid on a media call earlier. I asked him whether the boos from the French crowds gives him extra motivation for tomorrow’s gold medal match. He’s definitely relishing it! @NBCNews

Rob Page was a throughly decent man who loved the job, so it’s such a shame it had to end in such an ugly and bitter way. But ultimately, for us to progress and move forward, he had to go.

Nicki Minaj has been released from custody in the Netherlands after being arrested on suspicion of 'exporting soft drugs'. She's been issued with a fine - remains to be seen exactly what happens with her show in Manchester tonight. @NBCNews

Zojuist hebben wij een 41-jarige Amerikaanse vrouw in vrijheid gesteld die we vanmiddag op Schiphol hebben aangehouden op verdenking van uitvoer van softdrugs. De verdachte heeft na overleg met het Openbaar Ministerie een geldboete gekregen en kan haar weg vervolgen.

116-111 to Usyk for me. Utterly dominant in the second half of the fight. Usyk such a good technical boxer - beating Joshua and Fury and being undisputed cruiserweight and heavyweight champion of the world would be an incredible resume. #FuryUsyk

Waiting to board my flight (a quick pit stop in Bordeaux before a train to Toulouse). Whatever happens today it’s going to be one hell of an adventure! #COYQ #SwingTheBat #TouHar

My fellow Welshie at NBC @AlexanderSmith has spoken to the man of the moment - one hell of a challenge awaits @LouisReesZammit in America, but it's going to be fascinating to watch how he gets on.
He’s never played a minute of football.
But Welsh rugby star Louis Rees-Zammit is walking away from his sport and homeland for a long shot gamble at making it in the NFL. nbcnews.com/news/world/welsh…

As a Cardiff born Harlequins fan, it does feel almightily weird being in Cardiff, watching Cardiff and supporting the other team. But hey ho, COME ON @Harlequins!! #COYQ

For me:
Joshua - Wilder in Saudi makes most money
Joshua - Dubois gets the most domestic interest (but toughest to make)
Joshua - Hrgovic get the boxing purists excited
Take your pick! Makes interesting times for

Should add, if winner of Fury-Usyk vacates IDF title (a likely need if a rematch happens), Joshua-Hrgovic (IDF Mandatory) likely becomes an intriguing fight for a world title (three time and all that…)

What would I do if I were @EddieHearn? Anthony Joshua has suffered from inactivity recently, so I would get him out again in March. Wilder prob too risky, so I’d go Parker (who Joshua has beaten before). If IDF title becomes available, then Hrgovic in July/August #DayOfReckoning

Anthony Joshua has looked a school a school above any fight he’s been since the Andy Ruiz era, BUT I don’t think we’ve learnt anything about AJ that we didn’t know already - Wallin quite clearly a level below to what Joshua aspires to.

However, certainly doors open for Anthony Joshua and @MatchroomBoxing - a few fights now that could be enticing and capture the attention.

Hearing @boxingontnt speculate Joshua-Zhang - personally see that as a dangerous, un-marketable fight for Joshua, so don’t see that personally (Joshua-Dubois/Hrgovic Parker-Zhang undercard maybe?)
