Why are some people actually celebrating the HW undisputed fight potentially being off?

    Also, where in the post you quoted did I say I wanted Fury Wilder III to happen?

    I've sat here and read it twice and can't see what you claim.


    Is it because I haven't condemned it? I'm not sure where you have got this idea I want it to happen or would prefer it.

    GTFOH! Did Fury run when he smacked the hell out of Wilder?

    Anyway, yeah, I do think the Fury-Wilder fights were great for the HW division. The last decade was dominated by Klitschko, so it was nice to see the “new” HW top dogs go at it.

    Beware, another delusional salty AJ fanboy.


    Oi numbnuts, see Breazeale and then come back and tell me who carries the power.


    AJs power is seriously overrated and if we are talking "running" also see AJ Ruiz II, AJ ran away from a little obese man, embarrassing.

    Yeah okay, you never said you wanted Fury-Wilder III next. I’m sorry I insinuated that. You just seem to be real happy this fight fell through.

    Anyway, I just wan’t this fight to happen next. Fury-Joshua, for all four belts. I don’t care about the business or the legal stuff, this is fighting.

    For what it’s worth I think Fury grinds out Joshua for a late TKO and sets up a fight with Wilder for all the marbles later on.

    Because I never had faith in Joshua's chances to win. I believe he'd handily lose to Fury and Wilder. I also think a fully motivated Ruiz knocks him out again. Now he can face Usyk which is also a risky fight as well. He's just surrounded by ass kickings and I can do without seeing the most obvious one.

    Fair play, I genuinely appreciate that, I've also done similar, so it's all good.


    Anyway, no, I'm not happy, I just find it funny, look, Hearn has been abusing British Boxing fans for quite some time in my humble opinion.

    So I found it funny that Hearn looks a little bit of a Moby after saying "any day now" for 5-6 months, and all those smug interviews with Kugan saying admitting he will be "unbearable" because he made the fight and nobody else helped him.. he set himself up to look stupid.

    He can't claim all the credit if it happens and then pass all the blame to somebody else if it doesn't, especially as he knew this could be a problem.

    Hearn overlooked the biggest problem facing this fight, it was repeatedly mentioned to him early this year and Hearn said "that isnt a problem"

    I believe Hearn thought he could steamroll this one through, override Wilders claim and nobody would dare block a fight of this size, Hearn has got way too big for his boots, so I found it funny.

    What else should I do? Cry? Be upset? Be angry? Start saying I'll boycott Fury vs Wilder?



    Also. This fight will happen, it has to at some point, probably the end of this year providing they both win, December and hopefully we can get a crowd at Cardiff under the roof, a huge British crowd for the biggest British fight of all time.

    We, us, the British boxing fans deserve this on our lands, I have real problem with this going to Saudi Arabia and people can talk about money and that's fine but the fact is Hearn has talked about legacy, history and an incredible night ..

    And then he was willing to sack the British fans off for more money over a legendary British night, he talks out of both sides of his mouth.

    So I am personally content to wait a few months and hopefully hear the news that it's in Britain with a full crowd.


    If that makes me a hater or anything else then fine, I am cool with that, but I had a chuckle at Hearns craphousery and I am hoping we get the fight over here.

    I’m happy to see the Saudis not getting to use this as a vehicle to ‘sportswash’ their past evil actions and get positive publicity.

    I'm not happy the fight got moved but it's looking like we'll see AJ-Usyk before Usyk's first grandchild is born and Fury won't be coming off over a year of inactivity which will definitely improve the fight. Plus it's an opponent with a demonstrated ability to put him on the canvas so we're not getting some Sefer Seferi mess.

    It may work out for the best after all (plus the way it happened is hilarious and seeing Eddie with egg on his face is fun).

    It’s pretty sad people are so happy to Hearn’s good work off because of 2 old lying pos promoters who couldn’t be honest about the situation.

    It’s one of a few reasons boxing is in the gutter, the “fans” don’t actually want to see the best fight but will complain when it doesn’t happen.

    Some people aren't really fans of boxing but rather fans of certain fighters that's the only reason for it.

    I know you find it funny that Hearn’s work is all up in smoke now but it’s a bit sad mate. Why couldn’t Warren, Arum and team Fury just be honest about the situation to save everyone the ****? It’s like some don’t actually wanna see the best fights, it’s just a bit weird.

    Boxing fans will laugh and praise the current situation then moan when we don’t see the big fights, very odd.

    It's no one's fault, really. Just one of things that happened due to Covid, which was an unforeseeable development. I'd rather have AJ/Fury, but if this means we get Fury/Wilder III and Joshua/Usyk this summer, that's a pretty strong consolation.

    Nobody knew the details of this contract. Warren and Arum especially said it couldn’t be a problem - is that really “no ones fault” ?? That’s called lying and deceit.

    Arum claimed the rematch clause expired and Fury didn't have to rematch him regardless of the pandemic possibly causing delay. Either he was misinformed or just clueless but regardless it's bad promoting. Fury should hop under someone elses wing.
