    Fury will go down as a ducker if he doesn't fight Fury or AJ this year and I will be relentless in my pursuit of the queensbury shills

    If he was the "people's champ", wouldn't he give the "people" the fight that they want? He says he's not in it for the money but he clearly is, which is normal. But he just leaves himself open to criticism when he continually contradicts himself.

    I don't doubt anyone saw the first fight. The figures were pretty poor for heavyweight unbeaten unification but they are what they are.

    I doubt the second fight would be the million seller some think; but I don't see how Tyson flapping his hands at Manuel Charr for twelve dire rounds will build the second fight to something it otherwise wouldn't be.

    Don't think he'll be fighting Hughie anytime soon!

    Joshua is yet to win a legit title yet Fury has beaten two reigning champions. He also refused $50m to fight Wilder.

    Joshua Fans talking about ducking! Jeeeees!

    He already has. When will Joshua give the fans what they want? It's not up to Fury to save the heavyweight division (again) while everyone else gets rich fighting bums.

    So has he vacated his people's champ title?

    Fury could fight me next mate and it would still be a career high payday as he is due £16m of ESPN/Top Rank for US rights. Hopefully he us allowed to fight on another platform if ESPN lost bid. If he isn't I would not call it a duck nor would I with AJ who can only fight on Sky Box Office.

    It’s already gone to purse bids. So Fury can withdraw if he wants. If not it’s a free for all. May the best network/promoter win.

    Sorry, I meant a response to the other poster who suggested he took Pulev to force the mandatory with AJ

    They did. But Frank said yesterday they haven’t spoke to Wilder’s team in over a week. So **** knows what’s going on.
