    Hearn being dishonest here.
    Turns out Fury did send the contract to AJ, but it went directly to his mailbox instead of the management. Joshua can't read past preschool level, didn't realise it was a contract and tossed it in the bin. Later the housekeeper fished it out, read it aloud to him and Big Joshie realised his mistake, doe!

    For the stats: Chisora was already a leftover for the coward Fury himself, having comfortably beat the guy twice like a decade ago, but selling that sh*t for £26.95 on PPV was big after the glorious gift victory over Wallin in front of a great number of fewer than 10,000 people.

    This is just more utter bollox. As if Tiresome would send a legal contract directly to the bodybuilder.

    This is just more of the same social media circus the HW division has become. It's like watching giant annoying children on tiktok.

    At least there are good fights coming up in other divisions.

    HW is just a bore now.

    Fury is single-handedly responsible for this, and it’s such a sad thing. The sooner he disappears from boxing the better.

    Not sure Doink The Clown is available…he’s booked solid for the next year doing kid’s parties and a circus gig in Canada.
    But I heard there’s talk behind the scenes that Fury’s people are trying to talk George Foreman out of retirement for a mega money spinning fight. Fury had said this will be his toughest fight to date and if he can win it will prove to the world that he is the HW GOAT. When asked about Foreman’s advanced years, Fury said age is just a number and George is a bigger threat than both AJ and Usyk.
    I can’t wait to hear more about this…..

    It's just sad. I know it's all about making as much dough as you can while putting yourself at the least amount of risk and that is understandable to a degree because boxers risk their health and even their lives in this sport. The HWs around today are huge and Fury has every right to stay as healthy as possible, while making max bank. There is so much money at stake that I believe every single word from Fury is carefully thought out & not haphazard in the least.

    My question is, couldn't he have gone a different route, one that would endear even more fans to him? Why does he think a steady stream of lies & nonsense will increase his desirability? I'd much rather have the dude that dressed as Batman back.

    You younger/newer fans: It was not always like this in the HW division. There was a time when the HW champion of the world was idolized and often loved by the masses. Men who carried themselves with class, spoke with dignity & were listened to with respect, reverence & appreciation. Perhaps not all HW champs displayed those qualities, but they were the exceptions, not the rule.

    Sorry to rant, but I used to really like Fury's personality - I thought he was a personable bolt of lightning in the division and that he was great for boxing, especially after the drudgery of the Wlad era.

    Fury has done these acts to many times nobody believes him anymore...hopefully AJ fights Whyte and Usyk Dubouis. The Fury can sit inactive and pissed..and nobody gives a f...!

    Saw Hearn lying through his back teeth before saying no offer had been made.

    Team Usyk, Fury, Wilder & AJ are all in cahoots. None of them are fighting till December

    They all have agreed to stir the pot for the next 5 months to keep the haters grasping straws. Next week is turn for team Wilder to start tarkin' rubbish.

    Could be. Also, if the Saudis want the undisputed fight they now need it to pay more than Fury v AJ in which the PPV money would be significant.
