I think Fury's serious. But AJ would get a very low percentage (30%?) and there would be a rematch clause. AJ and Matchroom used to hold all the cards. Things have changed massively.
Well guess what ? Mitch is wrong again. Fury is offering Joshua the fight in December. Jeez, imagine the post fight, Fury singing away, Joshua trying to coherently give shout outs to Watford's finest, we could have Christmas number 1 on our hands
Verbally mentioning means jack. Untill one side confirms their have been contract offers made. We have Fury turn down 3 chances to fight AJ before.
What will you say then if Joshua’s side confirms receipt of a contract? Unfortunately for you, autistic analysis of whether Ortiz and Ruiz’s fight makes Joshua better than Wilder won’t matter
Things arent looking good Mitchy boy, Joshua is in a lose/lose here, he either ducks and looks stupid or fights him and looks silly.
They've already verbally stated AJ is going tonfight in December. So seems willing. However Fury claims that they will announce an opponent this week. If Fury isn't talking BS again then surley they have someone singed or at least in advanced negotiations. This also raises questions if Fury was serious at all about fighting Usyk.
both fighters will want it probably but will promoters & broadcasters be able to make it? I am not so sure how does Joshua contract at DAZN work ?
would it be a 12 rounder? AJ can't do a good 12 seems unfair to put him in with Fury scheduled for 12
Good point about AJ already saying he wants fight then. Fury has called their bluff. Hearn says Fury is a bluffer, we will find out if anyside is bluffing.
Fury doesn't want that fight, not one bit. Usyk told Top Rank he'd be ready for Feb. 11th Feb was the date Bob Arum had on stand by. Fury now claims he can't wait that long as he wants to fight in December and can't wait another 6 weeks despite the fact he was retired last week. If Fury carries on fighting he'll keep proposing unrealistic dates... he knew Usyk wouldn't be ready for December so offered December. If Usyk fights in February, Fury will offer him a fight for April and once Usyk doesn't accept then he'll be a shytehouse middleweight dosser or whatever it is.
