So their plan is another long drawn out build up to a fight that should’ve happened years ago. It’s just a fight between two retired guys that don’t want to fight anymore but like a big cheque.
AJ a big fight? This is not 2021. No one cares about AJ anymore, please can someone tell Hearn. He is so out of touch its unfunny.
96,000 tickets sold for his last fight, wtf are you talking about? Stop with the hyperbole, Joshua is still a massive draw with the casuals, especially in England.
Fury v Joshua is a second-tier heavyweight match-up at best now. Maybe some people haven't noticed but there's been a thorough 'changing of the guard' in the division over the past few years. Only Usyk is hanging in there from the 'old guard', and his days are numbered. Fury and Joshua are very OLD NEWS. They're finished. They should stay retired.
Eubank and benn jr fill a stadium and get england to a standstill... It doesn't matter that usyk shoved them out of the way and every boxing fan here knows they aren't on top anymore. This will be a massive fight. Mayweather pacquiao also was way too late and it is the biggest grossing fight in history. Boxing diehard fans like us don't matter in these mega events
Joshua vs Mahkmoudov in Feb in the kingdom Conor Benn vs Crawford Spurs stadium April Joshua vs Fury September Wembley Hearn must be relieved that daddy Turki still giving him pay days. He fumbled the bag big time when he tried to sell Matchroom for 1.5 billion, that'd just greed. Then Turki went with Dana and TKO instead...
Fury will blow through AJ like a pitbull through a chicken, it will be a classic massive hype followed by a blowout....but AJ getitng chinned is always fun.
Last time I checked Fury gave Usyk two very good fights to a level which is well above the rest of the division. AJ might be a finished mental midget who was manufactured but Fury is not.
The pair of them are absolutely finished. Fury will be 38 by the time this fight happens if this is the timescale. Just like Mayweather vs Pacquiao, the fight will be nearly a decade too late. I'd rather see them go big on a fresh talent like Itauma than wheel out these 2 when they're miles past their best. I can see both of them potentially losing in a warm up fight as well which will derail the idea for good, it's already on its last legs. I could see someone like Makhmudov crumpling AJ because his punch resistance is non-existent.
Hearn and Joshua have been tactically buy time hoping that Usyk will retire and the belts get scattered, Joshua will be conveniently ranked and fight for a vacant belt. I said this a few months ago, and now it seems like this almost certainly the case, inactive through injury, calling out fights that aren’t happening like fury, and then the Jake Paul shite, he’s keeping his name out there without having any serious negotiations. If you thought Joshua was finished in boxing based off the loss to DDD, and if you thought he felt the same, then that would be the absolute best scenario to end your career, that’s what makes me think he might actually fight Jake Paul, keeps him relevant (kind of) and keeps him busy without any danger.
