Tyson Fury v Anthony Joshua Battle of Britain Poll

Happy to debate that point as it would be the case however the energy problem is resolved, but probably not best done here!

 

Ha no probably not! It’s not as bad as could have been but the way it’s been addressed is just kicking the problem down the road for later imo

 

Excitement building. AJ enters the wbc rankings at 6.

 

Wonder what the next excuse from Fury is.

 

Tysons fight, always was and always will be but full credit to AJ taking the fight on short notice, just been through a camp and a hard fight with a good man in Usyk, yeah AJ will still be fit somewhat but you don't see many fighters taking significant hard rights back 2 back these days

 

it's not short notice
it's December 3rd
by 258mgt's own tweet they accepted that on Friday 9th September
12 weeks & 1 day

 

It's not short notice but it isn't a long time either considering Joshua has just been in an intense camp for several months preparing for a completely different style against Usyk. It is enough time to prepare though, but ideally 17th December would have been a better date.

17th December would have also been the day before the World Cup final so it would have made more sense.

 

yeah but Fury probably doesn't want to be sitting at home with wife and 6 kids on Christmas Day still feeling the bruises
to be fair

 

Yeah be a nightmare eating Christmas dinner with bruised knuckles after a long night peppering AJ

 

Is the fight on? My boss at work said it was signed.

 

Come on what fighters nowadays go from hard fight to an even harder fight in 12weeks and 1 day as you say? I'm no fan of AJ, but credit where its due

Yeah it's not the shortest notice in the world, but boxing and boxers aren't known for fighting with the regularity of the fighters at UFC for example, or the regularity they have fought at in boxing in the past

So for AJ to be willing to go from usyk to fury in 12weeks, I think is pretty commendable in the current boxing landscape, where as we know it can be a myth actually getting legitimate fights

 

I am no great fan of AJ either, but you really do have to give him massive credit for taking this fight (If it happens).

 

Yeah fair play to him I knew he wouldn’t turn the opportunity down if it was legit.You might not like him but he’s a proper fighter and sportsman.would love it if he knocked fury spark out tbh.

 

It's not short notice

I agree AJ deserve credit for agreeing to fight. But is not short notice

if boxing fans are thinking 12 weeks is short notice the sport must have already turned to ****.

great match though whatever
& credit to both boxers if this goes ahead
