If AJ stuck to his guns and insisted on UK I’d respect him Fury would need to take a pay cut though to fight in UK. Given his obsession with money and splits I don’t see that happening.
As an American this question is posed to the UK and Euro contingent: do any of you really care about this fight? I mean seriously I'm not bein disrespectful of facetious. This is a fight that would've been great years ago, at this point IMO I don't really need to see this fight or even see either of them ever fight again................ Just curious what the thoughts are on the other side
When will people wake up,Fury v Joshua never happened when it should have or when it mattered and it’s only happening now for themselves and everybody else that’s got there head in the feeding bowl,this fight is not for the fans ,it’s about maximising the one last roll of the dice for the huge payday !
Greedy Belly This content is protected Greedy Belly doesn't have the courage to fight Kabayel, at least not for less than 500 million pounds. It will be Belly vs Chisora 4, or another retirement and cocaine binge for Belly, as he balloons up to 350 pounds and continues to disgrace himself and the sport of boxing.
Pure idiocy in this thread. AJ sat there quiet as a mouse ringside at Tottenham in april, went and nearly got KOd by Pringle in a tune up & was recently on video putting himself at risk of delaying the fight again through injury on a golf kart. Now his promoter is moaning on again. The promoter who has done so much for british fans that he took saudi blood money for the last 3 years while the british small hall scene haemorrhaged. The same guy who stung the public for multi millions on box office for years. He is now acting like the oracle of british boxing. Not to mention he could never get the Wilder fight over the line, but trust him, it was never his fault. The wonderful world of Eddie Hearn: always the victim, its never your fault.
You missed my point. It doesn't matter what fights Fury could realistically make in the division due to his inflated ranking. The point is, he will never step in the ring versus any legit opponent. The risk he'd get battered is too high at this point. Fury's entire shell game his whole career has been "I'm the greatest!" while studiously avoiding fights against the best competition. It took two years and Turki giving him damn near a quarter of a billion dollars for him to finally face a serious opponent in Usyk. And he promptly got worked over twice and has spent all his time since crying about how he was robbed. He absolutely cannot afford to lose to anyone else and hope to keep any semblance of his old mythos about him. If AJ wasn't clearly in such wretched shape plus it being his only recourse for a seriously big payday, Fury would be doing everything possible to duck out of that fight, too.
It is a pet hate of mine when people call fighters bums.Ok both of these are past their best but calling former champions bums or indeed any boxer is just plain wrong
To be fair AJ signed to fight Fury before when Fury forgot to mention he was contractually obliged to fight Wilder. Back when this fight meant something as well I’m not disputing Hearn hasn’t been a nuisance in order to milk as much from AJ as possible a bit like when Arum paid the judges off in Pac v Bradley so he could cry robbery and have a rematch
I see what you’re saying. For me its very simple. AJ & Hearn had the UK in their side of the deal and Fury had Croke Park, Ireland. Now zuffa is involved, who Hearn has been antagonistic towards in the recent past, Fury has accepted the US move in a bid to make the fight. Hearn is now trying to get a bit more dough while simultaneously pretending he is the oracle of british boxing to get british fans on side. He is stalling the fight as he did in april when he had AJ in a tune up vs Pringle. He held that fight offshore in line with 4 of Joshua’s last 5 outings. The dislike for Fury on a personal level clouds the vast majority of so called hardcores on here as usual.
