Don King is at it again. His looking to hold another fight in politically stable Africa. The heavyweight world championship of the world to be fought under the stars of the cradle of civilization? I'm not Going to lie, it sounds insane, but I'd totally make an effort to catch this if it happened.

There is always talk like this, remember when Naz was fighting there were always rumours of him fighting in the UAE to cash in on the Arab market and oil money, believe there was even a point where there were rumours Floyd vs Manny would end up there. On the back of those, think the only sensible reaction to this rumour is I'll believe it when I see it.

Understandable position Geoff, but I feel this one is different than the afore mentioned scenarios, if only because Wilder-Stiverne are probably going to struggle to command the money African despots normally guarantee fighters for these sort of events, whereas Floyd-Manny was simply never gonna happen, and Naz could command good money anywhere.

I thought it was a delightful piece of wordplay, Don King is in Egypt trying to pull together a card titled King of the Nile. I do understand that you're dyslexic though, so the similarity of the clauses would have no doubt caused great discomfort.

Sounds a lot more than just talk in this one, King has been holding talks with a lot of people down in Egypt. A lot.
