    Fight will happen. Both want it to happen and it's the most meaningful fight in HW division for years. They both think they can win which is important and I think something that was lacking with Joshua v Wilder

    This fight happens in Saudi. I’d go as far as saying I’d be shocked if it didn’t. There’s simply to much money on that particular table.

    The real question is, does Fury wait until his top rank contract is up first? He’d stand to make a lot more money if he setup this fight outside of a major promoter.

    Joshua shouldn't be calling the shots here. He already lost his titles and won them back because Ruiz came in completely out of shape and couldn't cut the ring off. Fury is the man in the division

    That's quite an indictment.

    Has Eddie Hearn ever beaten someone to death?

    If the British grow some “bollocks” and stand up to their Orwellian lockdown maybe it will. Otherwise there will be no British sports ever again over their fear of a mild flu virus

    Sports will obviously happen again in Britain and just in case you're not fully up to date, this 'mild flu virus' has killed over 17,000 people in the UK and nearly 180,000 people worldwide.

    If it doesn’t happen it’s down to AJs side.

    Fury has made it clear he wants out pretty sharp, whereas AJ will be hanging around probably 3/4 years longer. If AJ can avoid fury, fury has wilder 3 and who knows a big money comeback from wlad or whyte forcing his WBC (which Hearn would be happy to oblige).

    fury aj would be huge, but fury would be basically cashing out anyway. Hearn would want AJ around for a few more years, and avoiding that one big payday that could ruin AJ, he could become undisputed and make more money longer term avoiding fury

    After fury beats wilder again, the demand will certainly be there, and even more so, and they will make it happen

    With enough money involved, they can get anything changed that may stand in the way——- no matter what it is

    He’s said numerous times that the reason he came back was to beat Joshua and to upset Hearn.

    The fight will 100% happen.

    A hyperbolic statement, seeing as Hearn is only doing what a good manager does i.e get the biggest payday and the best possible conditions for his fighter.
    Considering a UK population of 68 million and a global population of 7.7 billion, that is absolutely nothing.

    'Absolutely nothing'...

    That's probably the most ignorant comment I've ever read on this forum.

    In the Top 3 laughs this forum has given me, reminded me of Wlad defending the honor of old Liz and Elton John. :lol:

    I'm sorry you think it ignorant to point out that barely .03% of the UK population and barely .003% of the global population dying from coronavirus is not even significant

    Don't be an idiot mate.

    It would be significant if it was your loved ones.

    It's not over yet, there's still people dying every day. And people can't attend funerals.

    Think before you type.
