    If the contract is legit it must be enforced or he gets paid step aside money don’t blame Wilder at all

    20 million quid is a bit steep- does Wilder really need a regional airport at the moment?

    This is my understanding. We are so blinkered in the UK. Yes I want to see Fury vs Joshua, but Fury's team should have done a better job on the contracts? We always hear how amazing MTK are at this stuff

    When Eddie keeps saying its a whatever 100 million dollar fight, he may have inflated the step a side

    Fury was the only one taking about the rematch last year. Wilder didn't appear to be at all interested even though he exercised the rematch clause. If he's contractually able to milk a few million $ out of this then of course he'd go for it. I know I would. But that doesn't mean its not a shitty thing to do when this should have been resolved in 2020.

    I am just upset we won't get to hear Tyson give mental health speeches to all the slaves that were going to build his stadium.

    Again, they had a date it got pushed back, Team Fury refused new date, probably because they wanted the AJ fight, arbitration started. Its not like this process started last week. You can say who said what to koogs but as shown this week and many times in boxing its all irrelevant as its the men in suits who decide what happens. This is a **** show of a sport.

    First Ortiz fight, Rds 2, 3, 5 6 & 9 could all arguably go to Wilder, 2nd fight think i gave him 1 round, so fair enough there.

    Think i gave him 3 rounds in the 1st Fury fight, and the 2nd fight was an onslaught.

    Regardless of that, fighting someone with power like that, with the ability to detonate it at any time, and an accurate jab, is never easy. if it were easy, it wouldn't have taken Fury to beat him.

    Sky's last fight with Joshua not looking as big as they had hoped.

    Call me a nut job but I reckon Eddie and the other side knew about this all along and it's a ruse to build the fight even further. I wouldn't put it past them.

    How convenient it came out the day after Fury announced it was definitely going ahead.

    It's almost as weird as not being able to read, yet posting on an Internet forum, isn't it?

    I don't see Hearn risking putting Joshua in with Usyk, even if the Fury fight falls through.

    He'll probably make up an excuse about Usyk wanting too much money etc, forcing Joshua to vacate the belt.

    Maybe this is why Usyk Joyce was never made because they had a feeling something like this could happen.

    Uncle Bob and brick top knew about the arbitration all along and sold Eddie a pipe dream and made him waste time running around for them.
