Did Bodybuilder screw up everything?

Joshua didn't screw up anything. The Fury fight was basically made until Wilder came in and screwed up everything. Granted, Joshua didn't have to fight Usyk but he might as well have, seeing as he hadn't fought in a year and had to do something to keep himself busy while Fury and Wilder settled their business

It's Wilder and his delusional nonsense that spoilt the made in UK derby

Of course, when I opened the thread I thought your premise would have been 'Did Joshua's bodybuilding inspire Wilder to do the same?' Which would have been a much more interesting topic

 

No it is Tyson Fury who signed for the Wilder rematch then stalled the rematch that caused the AJ vs Fury bout not to have happened.

 

Fury woulda beat him up anyway

 

Wilder and haymon screwed it up by not taking the dazn deal, then ruiz threw that hook to joshuas ear and then a huge wilder vs joshua fight where both are undefeated went poof to never happen again.

 

He signed the rematch clause but the whole idea was the clause had expired because they didn't make the fight by a certain date. Then Wilder took it to court and some arbitration judge ruled in Wilder's favour, even though the clause was expired

 

Yes. Bloatmaxing is the way, the truth and the light.

Fury let Wilder drag him to court? LOL There is a thing called a contract. When both parties sign the contract, it is binding. Wilder held Fury to the contract, nothing more, nothing less. I will say it again. If Fury acted like a professional and got the 3rd fight over with at the 3-4 month mark after the 2nd fight, we would be getting ready for Fury, AJ tonight. Nobodies fault but Fury.

 

Fury screwed everything by not being honest about his status with Wilder, If he would have manned up and fought Wilder in January or February, this could be Fury-Joshua.

In any event, it allowed Usyk to fulfill his destiny. I will always be a Fury fan, but he deserved to learn this painful lesson.

 

Well Judge Weinstein a very experienced legal eagle said the third fight must be honoured, he interpreted the legal rights and wrongs and made a definitive judgement in favour of Wilder.

Arum appeared unwilling to dig deep to offer big step aside money to Wilder (and Wilder might well have said no anyway) however i am sure a big enough amount with a signed deal that Wilder would get first challenge to the winner of the Fury vs AJ bout would have been grabbed by Wilder.

The twists and turns of big money bouts.

 

AJ would have lost to Fury so it didn’t matter. Hope we see Usyk vs Fury next year. If Wilder wins tonight he’s going to hold the belt hostage and fight bums again.

 

The problem was Fury most likely never made Wilder a reasonable offer in good faith from the time Wilder invoked the rematch clause to when it expired, so I can see why an arbitrator would rule in Wilder’s favor, since Fury’s actions could be considered a breach of contract and the covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

Fury was extremely lucky their contract had an arbitration provision, since in court a Judge would’ve heavily fined Fury much like when Rahman got heavily fined when Lewis took him to court to make Rahman honor the rematch clause.

 

True, bit the clause was initiated prior to the expiration date. The date was not made due to Fury getting Covid, I think. Correct me I'm wrong. Wilder did his part and inacted clause in time.

 

That's not the point. The point is that we could have had a big money unification bout.
