Frank stating that a Fury/Joshua fight would be on both Sky/BT PPV is slightly perplexing as neither broadcaster surely would agree to such a deal. Also Frank seems to be hinting that Joshua may not resign with Hearn is interesting if a touch hopeful. Frank promoting Fury is fine so long as he fights regularly- I doubt Fury/Joshua happens this year though.
Not only that but i can't be the only one who loses interest watching a show that's on too long. Love boxing but 3-4 hours is enough for me otherwise lose bit of interest come later fights. How many people genuinely want to sit and watch a 7-8 hour show all the way through ? Not many I suspect.
Fury may well sign with FW for his come back fights and I am sure that FW will be paying him huge money to do so but I don’t see any BT/Sky PPV happening. Fury was never a massive draw before all his recent trouble his first fight back will do good numbers but then the casuals will remember he doesn’t have a casual friendly style and turn off again. Am I the only one that thinks.. Fury’s persona and perceived fighting style have benefited massively from the fact he hasn’t fought since the WK win. Everyone is expecting him to come back and have not missed a skip since the Wlad fight or be this exciting fighter he never was... There will be interest in his come back but he will need a dance partner to continually draw good numbers..: that’s why he should of signed with Hearn and he could of fought any one of Hearns well known heavyweights.
A Fury v Joshua fight is a long way off if it happens at all. There's a lot of talk about the fight but both of them have other fights to get through first, probably 2 or 3 fights each. It's not guaranteed that AJ can stay undefeated that long. And same with Fury, who might however guarantee his own unbeaten legacy by failing to return to the ring at all. Or the fight might happen 5 years from now, with neither of them unbeaten and both past prime.
I'm still not convinced Fury will come back at all and if he does then he certainly won't be at his best. He keeps saying that he is the real champion but things have moved on since his last fight and AJ is now king of the heavyweights. Fury needs to get fit prove he still has the desire then earn the right for a title shot. Whether he likes it or not AJ is now in control of the negotiations if or when the fight happens.
Let’s just be honest here. Tyson Fury is revered as some sort of boxing god on here. I think he beat a shot Klitschko (and yes AJ beat an even shotter version of him) but other than that what stands out on his resume? He’s not some sort of king who cleaned up the division, he’s the man who beat the man who had done that in his prime but was since past his best. I think the best thing Fury can do is stay out the ring for his status because I think he’s got to be at his best to have a chance of beating AJ or Wilder (he’s been dropped by Steve Cunningham!) and I just can’t see him returning to his best after being out so long, going on drug benders and putting on 12 stone or whatever.
You might say AJ picked up the scraps however I would say AJ is cleaning up the mess Tyson Fury left behind.
Fury signs with Warren cos he can bully him more than Hearn. He therefore gets what he wants when he wants and come the AJ fight he might even dump him! What’s gonna happen to Hennessy then the guy who’s done his cherries for him?
Warren is not stupid.He will put something in that contract which ties him to Tyson fury for life.Once you have Fish Eyes onboard it's impossible for him to swim away without him putting up a fight which i gave Frank absoulute credit for.He's lasted in this game for nearly 30 Years Now.The only thing i see is if Fury's comeback goes wrong the sameway it did for James De Gale.
This is true You forgot Warrington v Selby ***(wrote this b4 i went thru the whole thread. It has been mentioned)
