    Fury beats the best heayweight of the last decade, in a fight where most thought he'd be lucky to see the 3rd round.

    Fury then has an ultimatum issued by the IBF only days after beating Klitchsko, and bins the IBF belt.

    The IBF declare two absolute nobodies as the one and two in the division, and set up fight for the vacant belt.

    Martin wins the belt by default after Glazkov retires injured.

    Hearn offers Martin a massive career high payday to defend against Joshua at the O2.

    Martin freeze's gets dropped twice, and forgets nine comes after eight.

    Joshua and his fans think Joshua is a legit World Champion who deserves some kind of praise ?

    This highlights everything that is wrong with the sport.

    Would be great of Fury knocked Joshua out and took his IBF title back.

    I'm away at the moment and only English TV channel I can get is CNN. They have a half hour World Sport programme and AJ didn't get a single mention. Full coverage of PacMan and even a tribute to Andy Carroll and his hat-trick but no mention at all of AJ.
    Suppose it doesn't matter to AJ as he cant fight in the states anyway but tells an awful lot about how the fight was viewed (or not) outside the UK.

    Pull yourself together man, at least have the courage of your convictions. You're as bigoted as anybody on here!

    Once again no evidence. Standing up to the racist bigots in a language they understand is a noble cause.

    Great post. However, i'm not taking anything away from AJs win and of his potential, he is a very good HW, but it's hard to dismiss the issues that you brought up. Really annoying that the IBF didn't give Fury a chance to defend his title, even though he opted to rematch the best of the division. That was far better than seeing Glazkov and Martin.

    But hopefully AJ will back his words and face Fury and Haye. My guess is he'll be facing Haye first...

    "The language they understand" is the same hateful language they use.

    You're no better if you lower yourself to the same level. As for examples, I can't be bothered to trawl through your posts but I will happily comment on any I see from hereon out.

    Has Hearn mentioned the PPV numbers yet at all?
