I blocked that guy on Twitter. That is a fake Benson account sadly. He is a total wind-up merchant who doesn't have anything better to do in his life other than spread fake news. He also made up that (I actually believed it for a second) Okolie V Klitschko fight rumour.
No AJ Fury will happen in early summer Wembley 2025. Turki will have to cough up $50m+ for Fury though which is more than he'd like to pay. It's really whether the Saudi's want to throw away about $50m of their sports budget on what is effectively a giant advert for Saudi in London.
Yeah it did - I was following Benson and his account got rebranded into the official Ring Magazine account (with the verified gold tick for companies)
This fight might even be harder to make now. They both have no belts and come off losses. Which means they can still argue about 'A-side'. And it's a risky fight for reputation as the loser will never live it down in the UK. Just look at Groves having to deal with that KO forever and being taunted about it for years. That could happen to either Fury or AJ. So they'll each want to 'be paid' for that risk. Hopefully it all falls apart and AJ has to rematch Dubious. Fury can go fight Zhang which is a funny fight to make.
If either man wishes to further their career this is the fight they have to take. At this stage nobody wants to see them in the ring with anyone else. So they will make about 10 percent of what this fight will garner them, and the winner has a path forward for a 3rd chance at Usyk. I say unless one of them wishes to retire this fight will happen.
