https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-8151323/Anthony-Joshua-fit-healthy-meeting-Prince-Charles-contracted-coronavirus.html

Well we all know by now that the virus is asymptomatic (30%), but it's good that he feels great, but still he needs to self isolate and we do hope that he doesn't have the infection.

The situation becomes more harder because of that asymptomatic thing where people cant be easily detect out as early as possible because of this one which would worsen even more.
By the way,thanks for giving out the link about AJ is still fine in spite on meeting Prince Charles which ad been tested positive but still not an assurance as long the isolation
isnt over yet.

No worries mate, I really do hope that AJ will be negative with the Ncovid-19 virus. Although it is sad to hear that another high profile personalities have been infected.

As far as the kiss though, I totally forgot that it was Pulev, Lol, my attention is with the girl, Pulev defense though is that they are friends, (she is a Filipina, btw). 

[JollyGood]

As much as we all enjoy playing and watching a wide variety of sports, it is at times such as these unprecedented because of the coronavirus that we realise health, safety and security are things many of us had taken for granted.

This fight and all sporting events will not taking place for a long time and not many people are complaining because it is not really a priority for anybody any more, our lives and those of others are far bigger priorities right now.

I wish everybody stays safe and hope this pandemic will be over soon so we can all get back to some sort of normality in our day-to-day lives.

I search and I found that there was an action by the boxing organization regarding that, the lady complained so he got sanction.
Boxing news: Kubrat Pulev banned and fined for kissing reporter Jennifer Ravalo

I wonder if a kiss is worth making a denunciation? It was simply a kiss   I'm sure he didn't have any ill intentions, maybe his careless action. I know that many girls don't like it, but this reporter is being outrageous. She did that because she was a reporter   and the reporter must keep herself-image.
The epidemic is terrible and there is no stopping. It was like a purge   The purge will not stop until the results are satisfactory   Everything will be postponed longer, but cheer up, we have more time to anticipate  

It was simply a kiss but there is something a celebrity shouldn't be doing in public, when on camera and especially when the lady is not your girlfriend because the lady can sue him. However, i don't see a reason why this situation should matter now because it really last year Mar 25th.

Though, the lady seem to somehow woo Pulev but i dont see any connection between the two that shows them to be friends and they might be after the scheme.

Me too  To be honest, I felt quite bored with my current life, I could do nothing but stay at home, I had to do some stupid work on my computer. I want to go out and meet friends, but I'm not allowed  I totally understand where I should be and what to do, but damn it, this boredom cannot end 
If in the previous post, I was still indifferent, but now not, I'm completely limited  I have to watch old matches again

I understand mate, all we can do is watch old matches in any sports we loved. However, there will be a time that people need to go out and socialised. The lockdown here would end in about 2 weeks if I'm not mistaken, but that is still a lot more boredom days, Lol. But we can't do anything about it, we need to follow protocols so that everyone will be safe. And we can only hope that everything will settle down in the next 2-4 weeks.

Let's accept that life is not all about happy moments, there are trials that will come that would take us away to what we usually do.
I know you are not the one who are bored, I myself is also bored as I love to gamble in sports regularly and I can't even gamble on any sports now.

Man, just relax and keep safe, this dilemma will just pass and we will be back to normal again.

Just keep yourself occupied with other things.
Actually, there's a lot of things to do at home.
If you are bored, and complaining that you are bored at home.
Just think of other people who are complaining not because they are bored, but because they have no food on their table.
Also, if you can take a quick read on this article.

https://www.breitbart.com/news/how-to-survive-a-lockdown-by-the-chilean-miners/


No pun intended. But want to say, that if we are at home and we have something to eat, just be grateful for the moment.
Sports events will come in no time.

[ampere]

Neutrally perhaps as a AJ fan or supporter, i would have went all in to say Joshau is winning this fight in a KO manner.
But with the fears around, and with all man having different psychological state of health.

Its going to be a close call, i would really hope that the Bout is extended for a while, to help the world regard emotional and psychological balance before sporting activities resume.

Well you got a point but it cant really be avoided not to complain about this current situation and we are all in the same boat in terms of boredom just because we cant do things that we usually do specially on going outside but now with this pandemic situation all we need is a little bit sacrifice and i would rather choose to wait for so long rather than letting myself to get infected with the virus.
We should be grateful on lots of things.

Next, we should talk on topic and not to derail this AJ and Pulev thread.

I get your thoughts, but to talk about people without food, I think it's a bit too much for the current situation, even though the economy is affected, but the food supply is still adequate. The government still has measures to support it. In my place, the isolated people even get free food and drink. They don't need to do anything, just stay still and someone brings food 
I'm still bored, there's not much to watch now. Can someone suggest me a good old tournament that I can watch again?

Pulev To Donate Half His Purse From Joshua Fight To Help Battle Coronavirus

Bulgarian heavyweight Kubrat Pulev, the IBF's mandatory challenger, has vowed to donate half of his purse from the upcoming showdown with IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO world champion Anthony Joshua.

The boxer said he wants to help medical workers fight the "devilish" coronavirus.

The 38-year-old veteran is expected to earn around $5 million from the fight, which has been postponed due to the pandemic.

https://www.boxingscene.com/pulev-donate-half-his-purse-from-joshua-fight-help-battle-coronavirus--148093

My heart melted away when I read this article. Pulev said that he is willing to donate half of his purse, so that's $2.5 million to help the front liners in the fight for the Covid-19 pandemic. I know that there are a lot of sports personalities who are already helping or who are willing to help but this move from Pulev was very kind of him.

Pulev To Donate Half His Purse From Joshua Fight To Help Battle Coronavirus

It is a generous move and hope he is financially well off as he is 38 years old and his sporting career is coming to an end and most of the sportsperson become bankrupt once their sporting life is done and hence any donation is really generous.

I'm still bored, there's not much to watch now. Can someone suggest me a good old tournament that I can watch again?

The only option is to watch movies documentaries or play games, take a subscription on major streaming services and have fun as there is nothing else to do and i am loosing my mind sitting at home for two whole weeks just watching movies and documentaries.

But with the fears around, and with all man having different psychological state of health.
Its going to be a close call, i would really hope that the Bout is extended for a while, to help the world regard emotional and psychological balance before sporting activities resume.

I am also not expecting the situation to calm down as some are anticipating as the number of patient keep on increasing and it will take a few months for everything to settle down.

Yes, that a very good act from him and i do hope that Anthony Joshua would do the same, maybe not half because it's too much  .

I think sports personalities from all over the world do this because they realize that if this pandemic would go on for months, they will be the ones affected also. The amount they are donating is just penny when everything would be back to normal.

We can never really tell, some guys have are bad in the ring or even outside but they are human, they still have a heart and what Pulev showed here is he has a good heart. Mayweather is one of the richest in the sports of boxing, I hope he would be able to help too.

It seems that Mayweather is not trying to help, there is still no news or articles about his donations to the people who affected to the pandemic which is the covid-19. Pulev is a good boxer because he donated millions of dollars to the frontliners. And also manny Pacquiao donated ppe equipments worth of billions of pesos to the health workers.

So wonderful for a beautiful act. His heart is really beautiful  It is not fair for a good person like him to be denounced for a simple kiss, a woman so selfish  Sorry if I digress, most famous donors in the world are men. Messi and Ronaldo have donated millions of dollars to the anti-epidemic, all of them are wonderful people

This is not important, many people donate without publishing to the press, they do not want to receive attention. We cannot know the truth behind that.

That is really so generous coming from Pulev himself, I'm not sure if Joshua will follow as well. But there could be a lot of sports personalities that really care and silently donating to the cause and give help whatever they can. And I guess everyone was really caught by surprised by Pulev's move here. All of us remember that infamous kiss, LOL. But I think we all agree that this guy really deserves more specially after the backlash he received when he kiss that reporter.

It looks like this fight might not even go ahead now. A two fight deal between Fury-Joshua has been brokered according to their promoter:
 

If Fury and Joshua fight is set up, what about Anthony Joshua versus Kubrat Pulev and Fury versus Wilder, after the last fight between Wilder and Fury i wanted to see Joshua and Fury rather than any other fight but these are big fights and the promoters need the audience and until then we might not seen any huge fights we are waiting to see.

I forgot to post this one,

Anthony Joshua Suffers Left Knee Injury, Marches For Black Lives Matter In Watford

Unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has suffered a left knee injury that will sideline him for at least the next four weeks, promoter Eddie Hearn told BoxingScene.com on Saturday.

https://www.boxingscene.com/anthony-joshua-suffers-left-knee-injury-marches-black-lives-matter-watford--149332

So the reports say he suffered an injury on his knees. But we all know that his fight will Pulev is going to be push and reschedule so ample time for Joshua to recover and then resume his training. Or as @JollyGood pointed out, it might not happen at all.
