    Why do Fury and Joshua expect people to care now that they are no longer relevant?

    As usual all the anti AJ talk about how 'scared' of Fury he was and that he wasn't going to fight him turned out be drivel. Shocker.

    It's not exactly "as usual" when this is the first time the fight has been signed, and it's come about 10 years too late as usual for boxing lol.

    Hopefully the tune ups on either side doesn't derail anything and that contract is air-tight.

    as usual being him fighting people he is supposedly too scared to fight. i remember when he wouldnt rematch ruiz, when he wouldnt fight usyk, when he was too scared to risk his brand against DD, and now how he was terrified of Fury.

    Hearn and Joshua both said they were going to fight Wilder next, then Hearn publicly stated Wilder was too risky.

    Now they're fighting the only active Albanian heavyweight in the world (there are only nine) on boxrec with a loss.

    So, he's arguably fighting the worst Albanian heavyweight in the world next. :D (I'm going to get a lot of mileage out of that. );)

    When did people claim he was too scared to fight Ruiz or Usyk?

    Yes you can, he has the biggest pay day off his career signed, putting him in with any live opponent would be he has never had a fight camp with his current team. This fight isn't about outcome it's about going through the motions.

    I'm pretty certain that furys team wouldn't want it any other way either. In fact il be shocked if there isn't a clause in the contract saying he can't fight above a certain ranking before the fury fight as insurance.

    Like I said you come across as being very niave and ignorant here.

    It’s the second time that Joshua and Fury have signed to fight each other so there’s plenty time for the fight still not to happen !

    Calling me ignorant and naive is a bit rich from someone using vibes to defend such a crap opponent. It's honestly laughable, you're a superb troll.

    AJ could have a tune up against your mother and you'd still find a way to sell it as a win. You should be on his promotion team.

    Fury supposedly signed and sent a contract too. Means sweet FA if they both didn't sign it.

    I recall some people here thinking AJ would steamroll both and that their first victories were flukes.
