This fight will not happen 100% guaranteed, this is a perfect opportunity for Joshua to get back on the horse. Joshua/Hearn will come up with some absolute bull poo excuse saying it could not be agreed.
Kabayel signed a promotional deal a year earlier with Top Rank which is why his 'name' came up. Joshua doesn't have a promotional deal with Top Rank. Neither did Whyte. And, like Bob said, he isn't involved ... Queensbury is the one negotiating.
Exactly. "I guess Arum's involvement depends more on the opponent and whether he can make himself useful case by case, rather than the location of the bout."
if Fury v Chisora is on the cards there's no way AJ is involved in that. as Chisora's manager. but I am not sure Fury v Chisora is actually in the works
Bs. AJ has a cut over his eye which needs healing, and why the "you've got till the end of today" if there's 3 dates? Face it: Tyson I'd fighting a nobody or has been next, not AJ. What aren't you getting here?
if Fury was trying everything to back peddle, why did he extend the original November 12 date to December 3? meanwhile AJ fanboys & Fury haters pretend Fury said December 17 originally but he didn't. funny thing is, they also accuse Fury of currently lining up a deal now with Chisora, who is actually managed by Anthony Joshua. if that's true then you would have to accuse AJ of being in on the whole pretense too.
From Hearn : I'm not quite sure what Bob Arum has spoken about, but I've had multiple phone calls with George Warren and exchanges of emails. The last being about a couple of minutes ago. AJ has just finished his fight with Usyk. He has a couple of bumps and bruises, nothing major," Hearn said. "[Frank Warren's promotional company] Queensberry have the date held of December 17, and that is our preferred date to make the fight. We're in continued discussions with Queensberry and I guess you guys will watch it all unfold on social media and on various media outlets around the world."
he gave November 12 as the date & then next day clarified November 26 and December 3rd are also on offer. so is Joshua ready on December 3 or not? I think there's something seriously wrong if he can't accept a fight 12 weeks away. we know he's not unfit physically. why not just say yes to Fury? which I think he will. Don't you?
