"Treated unfairly", where has anybody been treated unfairly?
Humour based on racial, ethnic, and regional stereotypes have formed a lot of British humour for a long time. Within the context of humour, then they're never intended to be xenophobic. It is your choice whether to be offended by stereotype humour.

Beeb now reporting some of the padding will be removed from beneath the canvas, so we are back on again.
Boxing reporter Mike Costello sees it as psychological victory for Fury.

It's not a question of offence. If you and your friends want to crack racist jokes in the pub, then that's up to you. But this is a public forum, and there are rules.

Please could you stick to the topic and leave "jokes" about either of the two contestants out of it. If you carry on you will find yourself locked out of this thread.

Colours nailed firmly to the mast, well done.
I could only guess, but I do hope Fury at least gives Klitschko a good fight.
If he doesn't, Fury's antics in the build-up - coupled with a poor performance - could make him look like a clown.

There is but there are quite wide limits. For amateur boxing, which is what I know best, 12 to 20 mm of foam covered by canvas. USA use more. The type of foam is not specified.
Edit: WBO specify 1" of Ensolite.

I'd wager not many of us on here have ever boxed so have little real knowledge of the sport. That said, I did a little back in the day and was, frankly, crap at it, so who am I to judge the judging of others?

I have never been a pro cyclist but I probably have more knowledge of that sport than many pro riders. Likewise with football.
Anyway, quite amusing to watch the bloke who got his arse handed to him on a plate my Mr Eyebrows jump about after the event with his arms in the air...valiant effort. Poor acting tho.
