You sound exactly like 80% of the people who said the same thing in mid-2018 when Fury Wilder talks started to bounce around. "It won't happen". Eddie is the one who will stop AJ Fury happening. Normally he comes out with hot air, this isn't hot air though given Fury has backed it up. Be positive. Economy is about to brick itself, they want that money.
There's only the venue (and country) to sort, the dates and a worldwide pandemic. Oh and a couple of fights standing in their way too, where Wilder is still more than capable of knocking Fury spark out. What happens then to this AGREED fight? Yeah, definitely AGREED this is.
The pandemic is what has solidified this fight happening next year. You can't throw away a $100m+ fight when the economy has bricked it and were on a pending recession. Eddie may not want to put his cash cow on the chopping block but you don't waste good meat when it's prime.
Absolutely brilliant news Those rolling their eyes are just being negative for whatever reason All fights are agreed subject to: The fact that Fury & Joshua are both willing and eager to get it on shows just who has been ducking who when it comes to Joshua/Wilder Wilder only ever wanted anything to do with Fury when he thought he was an obese, drug & alcohol addled mental case while Joshua is willing to fight the version of Fury that smashed Wilder all over the arena in his last fight. British Heavyweight boxing is currently head & shoulders ahead of anywhere else in the world so I hope this fight is staged in the U.K.
Hearn likes to talk because he thinks he's in charge of everything. Just watch Arum/Warren come out shortly with "We haven't agreed to anything".
If they want to become the enemies of the majority of boxing fans by getting in the way of this fight then sure. I doubt Pulev cares too much, but Usyk as an up and comer in the division should care.
I am really happy to hear Fury will demolish Wilder a 3rd time. I really wouldn't like it if Wilder got handed free step-aside money.
It's genuinely great to see how hungry TF is for this fight..... breath of fresh air compared to Wilders antics in negotiations with AJ prior. Still looking forward to watching Wilder get pummelled into a pulp again.... maybe DW can come out of this one with a little dignity bring on 2021 for all the marbles!! exactly how I have been saying it would play out, love it.
