thank you. so dan rafael says in fewer words in a tweet that there is an insider he knows(007 codename) privvy to negotiations( spy cameras and listening bugs)who leaked to him ($10k dresden station in locker 666 ) there is an issue that is holding up the signing of the contract and that another klitchko opponent is being sought. dan is the man.
Well, they got me. Hook, line, and sinker. I even thought Wlad v Fury II was definitely going to happen (eventually). I don't think I've been bad at picking winners, but I've been pretty gullible about matches. Still don't fully grasp why it's so difficult to make good fights.
Briggs will agree to anything Wlad wants in the contract, even with no belts on the line. Yes, even with a stacked deck working against him. This is an EASY "backup" fight for K2 to make in case the Joshua fight falls through. They can take Briggs to Germany and dispatch him since it's a ready-made promotion from past antics. Easy work, since Briggs is even older now and has no leverage in negotiations. Bye bye Briggs.
Lol at saying everyone has been duped. The fight has been signed off by both parties. UK TV and US TV has been agreed also. Klitschko wants the WBA title on the line and won't fight if it isn't. It is not a case of AJ and hearn pulling out.
Yes from what I read before everything was agreed apart from what belts would be on the line. If the WBA are not playing ball and wanting to create a tournament like the WBO have discussed then it's likely the fight won't happen. It's likely to be that the sanctioning bodies are the ones that will scupper Wlad/Joshua and Parker/Ruiz. But if neither of these fights happen it does mean Joshua/Parker could be on again.
They already created a tournament. And if they stick to it, Wlad should fight Ustinov for the WBA super (Fury is out and I believe Ortiz is giving up his interim?)
lol @ people automatically assuming Hearn was talking ****. Remember when he said Kell Brook wanted to fight GGG and you said it was all talk? Who did Kell fight on Sept 10th? It could be Klitschko wanting to fight on the canvas that they wanted to fight Fury on but the BBBoC won't allow it for all you know. It could be Klitschko asking for an immediate rematch and Joshua wants the chance to face his mandatories so he doesn't find himself having to drop a belt like Fury did for all you know. It could be Klitschko wants an easy opponent like Lucas Browne for all you know.
This. It seems to me that some of the Joshua and Hearn haters are petrified of the fight happening, then they can't just say he fights bums and are looking to blame it not happening on him and Hearn rather than anything else
http://skysports.tv/1D8TJI They are waiting on the WBA to sanction the fight. If the fight doesn't go ahead it's not the fault of either fighter or promoter, it will be the doing of the WBA.
He has been refusing fights with Parker for ages, different reasons as time has gone along. If he was going to take any challenge "the right offer" wouldn't be needed.
