an offer has now been made for Chris Arreola to fight Anthony Joshua on December 17th

AJ, you've already surpassed Vitali's career, you don't need to do this.

 

Thinking about it Joshua gets a pass for this if he does indeed fight Arreola,coming off two consecutive losses and the third loss in five fights this is the type of fight Joshua needs at this point to rebuild and gain confidence. Fury however if it is somebody like Charr or Chisora it’s not acceptable,Fury is not coming off losses and is allegedly going into an Undisputed fight with Usyk and needs a competitive match up to sharpen him up imo .

 

I heard the BBBoC will not sanction Dubois v Lucas Browne because Browne is 43 year old

 

Joshua is rebuilding his career after taking two losses and losing all his belts. . Arroela seems acceptable for a tune-up

 

Another lame fight but nonetheless more exciting than Fury Chisora

 

But AJ doesn't fight bums?

 

Trying to remember how old I was when arreola was an actual contender.....

 

That's just how Eddie gets down, leave him alone. You gotta already have the next Joshua opponent selected while you pretend to negotiate a big fight with a dangerous foe. Then, after your stalling has rendered the fight people wanted to see impracticable, you announce the fight they didn't want to see. Cor blimey guvna, genius promoting, apples and pears, love a duck, top salesman and Archbishop of Banterbury, all for the price of a Domino's and some tins, lahhhhhhhvittttttttttttt.

These clowns only fought Usyk because they were forced to do so if they wanted to keep the belts (the ones Fury loaned them) unified. Even there, they were gambling on Joshua being too big/powerful while trying to mitigate with suspect judging.

 

Arreola vs Joshua is not ideal, but considering Joshua is coming off two losses, it's better than Fury vs Charr.

But Hearn said they are looking at a fight with Zhang, Wallin or Hrgovic. So I doubt AJ will be fighting Arreola.

 

Everything they accused Fury of doing - pretending to negotiate to mitigate the prospect of fighting a bum - is exactly what they were doing.

 

Best résumé in the division, m8.

 

It's about par. We're talking shades of dog poop at this point.

But Fury-Charr isn't, and never was, going to happen. Oluwafemi-Arreola probably won't happen, either, but that doesn't make Eddie's false negotiation MO any less transparent. If he matches Oluwafemi with Zhang, well, he was talking about doing that since the immediate aftermath of Usyk II. He did not negotiate the Fury fight in earnest, June 2018 and Wilder all over again.

 

Despite not being a huge Matchroom/AJ fan I always backed Joshua in that saga. Given the events of this last week with Fury and Benn I'm even doubting that now.

I'm not sure Fury-AJ will ever happen.
