    The mental gymnastics there is impressive.

    'Taking a few rounds off someone' doesn't mean you're any good.

    Also it wasn't the furthest anyone had taken AJ, he'd been 11 rounds in the fight before.

    Anyone who gets chinned by Chisora is shite.

    Takam was beating chisora convincingly but gassed and got caught with a good shot. HW boxing, it happens. I would say 8/10 Takam would beat him Chisora.

    Also took Makhmudov the distance despite Takam being past it.

    It's not like he is Wilder bad and avoiding people anyone with a pulse.

    My two cents on AJ vs Fury. This is a done deal for July-September next year. This agreement 60-40 and 50-50 rematch will be picked back up and signed if Tyson beats Usyk.

    Tyson wanted a tune up in December and decided to go on social media for a laugh and bluff was called. He’s going to pick up £5-7m tonight Charr or Chisora. It’s actually been a smart move as few are actually talking about AJs losses to Usyk now and are talking about Fury vs AJ again.

    My guess is AJ ideally preferred to take comeback fights and it’s been confirmed he will fight in December in my opinion against someone like arreola or Wallin then takes the Dillian Whyte fight in April.

    it never made sense for anyone to fight in December but makes perfect sense next summer

    Actually makes sense. Fury is a bluffer although Hearn doesn't help getting involved and talking equal amounts of shite.

    Listening to Hearn squirm and dodge every question is cringey and pathetic, his whole reason for not making the fight is 'it takes longer, it's a massive fight' and 'well Tyson gave us deadlines on social media, called us dossers'. It's absolutely pathetic, he's clearly at it, they wanted to no part of the fight, it's clear as day to anyone that watches or listens to him.

    He should be forced to explain what exactly is the big hold up with AJ's million sponsors, why are they blocking this fight ? Stop talking in riddles and explain exactly why you can't make this fight.

    They aren’t blocking it. One clause in the contract is. AJ has commercial deals he can breach by taking funds from rival sponsors. The contract stipulated Warren could have final say on all deals.

    for instance AJ has a deal with Lucozade as his official sports drink provider. Warren could in theory sign a deal with Furocity which would put AJ in breach of that contract and be sued heavily. All Matchroom wanted was a clause that stated both parties must sign off and agree sponsorships deals. For instance if that happened AJ could say no to it. It’s completely normal and simple really.

    A man close to being a billionaire not fighting because he may breach sponsorship deals - think I have heard the lamest excuse yet.

    When a fight isn't happening because of one of the fighters Lucozade deal it shows how utterly ridiculous boxing has become.

    The result of having the managers as superior regulators than the federations. Or the lack of tournament/elimination principle in boxing.

    Surprise surprise, head Matchroom arselicker and cockgobbler Tony Bellend Bellew has come out and said AJ and Eddie aren't to blame here.

    He may well be right but trust him to come out and defend Matchroom all guns blazing like the pathetic excuse of a man he is.

    Exactly. You've answered my point mate, they aren't blocking it, there's always a workaround and it is normal and simple.
    So why the **** is Eddie bleating on a lot of nonsense about it, making it all about terms etc ?

    I reckon AJ would have wanted the fight, but his backers absolutely did not. No way was Eddie and his goons letting the golden goose get in and get slapped around the ring, again.

    These massive obstacles that are just soo hard to comprehend according to Edward, they'll still be there in the future. So in theory the fight shouldn't ever be able to take place... But it probably will, because Eddie will allow it. He was never letting AJ in that ring.
