    Fury did the right thing signing with Warren.
    If he'd gone with Matchroom he would have been just a pawn in Hearn's AJ agenda.
    With Warren he's firmly the centrepiece heavyweight and a sensible road back will be built for him.

    Warren and Fury and BT and a load of bum opponents might not be a great prospect for the fans but it makes sense for Tyson Fury.
    With Matchroom he'd been rushed or kept on the shelf or sabotaged, whatever it takes to stack it in Joshua's favour.
    We all know that's the truth.

    Sell Box Nation to BT and make the Box Nation Channel the home of NxGen shows and international fights?

    Didn't Sky and BT reach an agreement recently that will see them use each other for publicity? Or was that just for football?

    It' not really comparable imo. Fury freed up all those belts. Fury would have beaten AJ imo and after 21 fight AJ wouldn' have had anything.

    He didn't free them up. They were rightfully taken from him after him not defending them and pulling out of a rematch twice v Klitchko.

    Real champions defend their titles.

    You got the wrong idea about the deal they negotiated. The deal is that BT sport will be available to sky customers without the need to have a separate subscription.

    Sky sports will be available to people who subscribe to BT TV
