    That is an interesting post especially what you have said re the taxation

    It would be great to get both teams on a table and ask some of these questions

    @bailey and @Wizbit1013 , nice to some some actual thought, insight and legit questions put into this, rather the same ol idiotic "He's just ducking Fury!" crap.

    If both signed to fight one another, and it's the likelihood of a venue change that's causing the issue....then clearly NO ONE DUCKED THE OTHER.

    Exactly

    It's Turki and Netflix causing the issues

    But some people just using this to dig either fighter

    That was my understanding. Netflix wants it in the US. I think it's really that simple.

    Celebrity boxing is what it is. Let them have their years of negotiations for the last penny. Poor rich guys

    If Netflix wants it in the us they can’t do it on the basis of the previous contract if that had stipulated the UK. That’s just basic stuff and the same will apply if it were some mundane affair. It seems to be that Turki and co negotiated with fury and josh and then went to Netflix so Netflix’s demand isn’t binding on fury Joshua but on Turki and co, so they have to deal with Josh team to arrive at a new deal. If that’s correct then there is no controversy there just standard stuff

    I could understand someone not being happy and agreeing to do it, if they had a signed contract and it would effect their earnings if altered in such a way

    Fury should move on now. Plenty of other good fights out there for one last fight. I always feel Dubois would be a good one. He has the skills to beat Dubois and that’d be awesome for him considering he battered AJ

    I don't think he would be interested in Dubois.
    Hrgovic looked beatable and I think Fury could outbox him, take his punches, be stronger on the inside
    I think I recall Fury talking highly of Itauma so by beating Hrgovic would say he beat the man that beat the next generation HW and have that as a new angle

    You heard it here first...

    Quite amusing to hear Hearn today say AJ has basically told Turki and Sela it's UK or nothing

    Also mentioned why Fury signed for it to be in Ireland because the tax laws are lax

    You imagine if he wanted to try for a belt he'd go for Gassiev?

    I don't even think he is intrested in fighting other than for the AJ pay day

    Talks have reopened for the fight to take place at Wembley

    Regardless of AJ and Hearns reasoning it's great to see Turki and Sela be shown they can't control everything they want to
