Is Fury planning to duck AJ?

Yeah, a man who went all the way to Germany and handed Wladimir his first loss in 11 years is afraid of a guy who recently lost to a teletubby.

 

Neither fighter is ducking the other, no way. I think it will only get more complicated after AJ Vs Pulev and Fury Vs Wilder III.


I believe the WBC will make the Fury/Wilder III winner franchise champion. That frees up the "regular" WBC belt, so depending on what happens..

We could have Whyte Vs Usyk for the vacant WBC belt.

So would Hearn turn his attention to getting an "all the belts" fight with AJ Vs Whyte/Usyk and claim to be undisputed?

 

I don't think so. All that's going to happen is either Usyk will insist on his mandatory and Joshua will fight Fury afterwards, or Usyk will agree to step aside in exchange for a guarantee to fight the winner of Joshua/Fury. I don't think Fury's contracted to fight anyone, except Wilder. So when he beats Wilder again he's free to fight Joshua if Joshua doesn't fight Usyk, or fight Whyte or somebody else if Joshua does.

Personally, if I were Usyk, I'd step aside. The guy's getting injured frequently which suggests he's having difficulty making the weight. Yeah, if Fury and Joshua make a fight it could potentially be two or even three fights which would freeze Usyk out until 2022 at the very latest. But in that time Usyk can get in at least three heavyweight fights and better acclimatise to the division which means he'll be in a better position to fight the ultimate winner of Joshua/Fury once they've had all their fights.

 

It’s not meaningless bc AJ has no contract that binds him like Wilder had to Fury and vice versa .

Bob Arum doesn’t want the fight, Fury has two more fights left on his contract and I know none of them will be AJ .

 

Yes they do,in draws contracts are void if there is no winner .

You basically just made everything up here .Finkle and Warren made the original contracts up before Arum was even in the picture , Warren publicly stated it would be multi fight deal so I don’t no what else to tell you ?


The rematch claus was void bc of the draw and both had options to take another fight , Fury chose not to when he signed with top rank due to Wilder stalling on his promises to fight Fury in the U.K .

Wilder said the TWO fights that would take place would be in the U.S and the REMATCH in the U.K , don’t you think this shows itself a rematch was agreed to ? Lol


This link is telling you a rematch claus was in place of the first one .

You do know what mandatories are, right? He has to fight Pulev otherwise they'll strip him

 

That doesn’t even make sense ,that has nothing to do with a future Fury fight . Both guys are fighting in the summer Fury and AJ, BOTH can fight after .

 

You're the one making things up

Again, that's not how rematch clauses work

That was just spitballing about where a fight might be held. They did not have a contract in place. Fury had to go to the WBC and ask them to order a rematch, which they did. Then they couldn't come to terms on purse splits and where the fight should be held, so the WBC held purse bids. Then Fury signed with ESPN and Top Rank, so they had to work that out because an eventual rematch would have to have been a co-promotion

 

Fury vs AJ is world await. I don't think that they both are ducking each other but their promoters do not want them to fight each other now.

 

It's a pity your mother didn't duck meeting your father

 

Where's the article then Mark?
