Good shout mate - the real Josh in British Boxing is Josh Taylor. A man that does not waste time on puddings and gets in with the best to test himself. Josh Taylor and Tyson Fury are our only 2 elite boxers at present with a few such as Smith plenty to prove starting with his fight next week.
I just hope they fight in front of a full house, in the UK. Would be such an amazing spectacle with a huge crowd onlooking. Hopefully they can sort this for late summer 2021, after they have had 1 more tune up each.
Fury is an inch at most taller than AJ. His height is a lie. Although he does have the reach advantage, no question
Yep ten pulevs on the resume is still trumped by one Wilder, great way of looking at it. I thought big Josh looked decent at times last night, but worth remembering he was in with a shot to pieces old man, again. He looks a scared fighter still for sure, that tubby little Mexican fella must still have joshs heart locked away in his trophy cabinet. Fury schools him and stops him, wilder KOs him and BRUTHA USKY probably schools him. Big Josh has made a fine career out of feasting on second division scrubs and the fans are finally demanding he faces the best, he’s run out of road now, time to pay that piper.
No chance. Fury is 6'7.5 at an absolute push. He is half an inch taller than Wilder and there is several photos of him and big truck David Price together and Price is notably taller despite being labelled as 6'8. There's plenty of other photos/videos that prove this, and it is not down to poor posture/
He is a good 2 inches taller than Wilder. This content is protected We can observe they appear to be a similar height however Price is always wearing boots whereas Tyson is usually in slippers/loafers.
I don't think fighting Usyk instead of Fury to avoid dropping a belt is a valid reason for Joshua. He'll be fighting for 3 of the 4 ABC belts either way, plus Fury has the Ring magazine belt as well, so where would the reasoning be if they're saying Usyk takes priority for the sake of titles?
Here’s how it goes. WBO call their mando sometime after Christmas/New Year. Hearn, the master of spin, then says it’s up to Fury. Make the fight now or we’re taking Usyk. Some back and forth on the socials, with Hearn eventually saying they couldn’t do it. ‘Kugan, why would we risk dropping a belt and the Fury fight not happening, everyone knows we want it, but we dance to our tune, we don’t dance to others’ ‘Tyson knew the WBO was called, so that gave us a set time frame to strike the deal, the deal wasn’t made so we have to move on’
If this pandemic has anything to do with it then it won’t happen anytime soon. Way too much money to be made for it to be in a stadium with only a thousand allowed to attend. Plus the whole Hearn/Warren thing is a huge problem
Here’s exactly what will happen. Fury is contractually obliged to fight Wilder - which is why he couldn’t even have the Kabayel fight. Joshua is mandated vs Usyk. I can see both them fights happening in the first half of 2021 with the mega fight happening (if they both win) in October/November/December in the Middle East. The second fight could then be in the summer 2022 in Wembley and hopefully full capacity.
Joshua shouldn't be willing to drop his belt imo.in fact it will look bad and inconsistent considering it's all been about becoming "undisputed" from day one with Joshua and Hearn.joshua being the consummate pro that he is I don't expect him to drop belts & duck his mandatories or that we being reasonable human beings give him dogs abuse for fighting his mandatories..so let's give him the benefit of the doubt if he fulfills his obligations as a champion as he's always done.
Undisputed heavyweight class between two Brits surely has a nice ring to it wouldn't you agree? Both should get their mandatories out of the way if that's what it takes. Draw up pre-contracts and make it happen. We'll wait.
