    Hearn says it's "help", but it seems like control to me. Hearn's quote:

    "Tyson needs to get back on the horse, and show the British public he's still serious, show the British public that he is here and back in the game. But, that doesn't come on social media it comes from being in the gym and getting through the ropes.
    We would like to help him clear up his stuff with UKAD and start building a schedule that will lead to Anthony Joshua....We are going to sit down with AJ and Tyson Fury, and try and build a plan to give what will be unquestionably the biggest fight British boxing history has ever seen." http://www.skysports.com/boxing/new...ld-be-biggest-fight-in-british-boxing-history

    Thoughts?
    What's Frank going to do about this?

    Eddie must have the ear of the British board?

    It would be the best thing for British boxing to be honest.

    Frank needs to let the idea of working with Tyson or any of the Furys go. They have repeatedly made mugs of him and embarrassed his promotions. Concerntrate on building on the strong start to the BT tie up going into 2018

    If Hearn can piece together this mess and get things back on track with Tyson then let him get on with it.

    I don't see what is wrong here?

    The idea that Fury can just come back and get straight into the ring with Joshua is absurd.

    It is better for us if Hearn gets close to him rather than Warren,i badly want to see Fury v Joshua.The Confrences,build up it will definitely be gold.I can already imagine if Fury v Joshua tries to get made Fat Mick will already be a problem without getting Warren involved.I can see Hennesey saying"But Tyson is the legitimate title holder he never lost the belts,so it should be 80/20 to Tyson'.Hopefully it gets made in 2018.

    So, let's fix that little UKAD stuff... invest some bucks to make that inconvenience go away.
    Next up taking care of those surplus 100lbs with a dietist and some proper cardio. Maybe just 70lbs off, or 50... maybe 30... that will do just fine! Don't be picky.

    Then feed him someone like Cornish, and off we go to major payday world!

    Just got off of Skype with Mick Hennessy he was absolutely seething with rage, red in the face. He said "I'm not being funny but what the f**k is going on? Tyson is going nowhere. We plan for him to have a mega YouTube PPV comeback fight against Michael Sprott, at the bargain price of £49.99. Bonus undercard fight is a highlight reel of 'Shades of Ali's' best moments from the Parker fight".

    Eddie knows the biggest fight out there for his cash cow is Tyson Fury. Even a shell of the version that won a lopsided UD against Wlad sells big time.

    Bigger than Wilder. Bigger than anything out there now or on the horizon.

    This is Eddie seeing big pound signs

    It stinks that Hearn (or any promoter) can openly even suggest that he can help T.Fury with OFFICIAL matters ..... "help him clear up the UKAD".
    It's like something from an old mobster boxing movie. "We can smooth things over if you play ball."

    There's no harm in encouraging/supporting Fury to come back, but it's a farce at this point with 2 years already passed with no fights, and carrying about 100 excess pounds of weight.

    Fury being rushed into a Joshua for a get-richer-quicker-schedule smacks of cynicism.
    Let's face it, Hearn's schedule for Fury is unlikely to be in Fury's own favour.
    I think Hearn is possibly concerned Joshua might come unstuck badly against an unheralded puncher, and an unfit light puncher such as Fury should be a fairly safe option and the most lucrative.
    We'll see. Perhaps Hearn will clarify what he means in due course.

    Haye is more popular than Fury.

    Maybe, but the biggest fights are sold on the "good guy v bad guy" theme, or contrasting personalities, and two undefeated champions.
    It's not just "popular + popular = biggest fight".

    Doesn't Tyson Fury despise Hearn?
