Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury Date Set 18th April 2018 Wembley Stadium

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/03323/joshua_3323418b.jpg http://video.skysports.com/Npa2E1MzE6-Lr7xW4RiymMLRjXkCM9RQ/DLOokYc8UKM-fB9H4xMDoxOjBzMTt2bJ http://talksport.com/boxing/tyson-fury-says-date-set-anthony-joshua-fight-and-warns-british-heavyweight-rival-ill-give According to Fury Hearn has contacted him and already booked Wembley Stadium for the MEGA fight on 18th April 2018. Tyson no longer has a promoter so Eddie has also alluded that he may sign Fury if Fury willing to join Matchroom. Tyson Fury: "It gives me motivation that a lot of poeple have picked him to beat me but, as I have said many times, we are in a sport that is called sweet science, not a bodybuilding contest or a strong man competition. "When you can't box and move, slip and slide and ride shots, and one man can, it is an easy fight. "I will give him a boxing lesson and he will get so tired of chasing me around, trying to land big punches and missing all the time, I would stop him in the late half of the fight. "Klitschko almost done him in round six. He was gone. Round five he was fatigued, round six he got plastered and had to crawl off the canvas. He was getting outboxed. "He was landing big shots easy but I ain't 41, I am 28. I will be 29 next year when the fight happens.

Oh yea haha. In the Warren interviews I've always watched, he talks about Tyson like he's his fighter. Hughie is with Warren right? Do you know what happened between Tyson and Hennessy? Yea Hughie is promoted by Frank. Not sure why hennessy dropped Fury.. I guess they dropped him because of his mental issues. Harsh but he said he was never going to come back to boxing. He's a free agent now but unless Hearn offered him a sh*t ton of money I don't see him signing with Matchroom.. He hates Hearn lol.

Of course it needs marinating, one of the only fights where it makes financial sense to. I wanna see it as much as anyone, but they fight this year its in the UK. Potentially it could go over a million PPVs in the US, nowhere near it at the moment, neither are well known in the US. Joshua-Fury will NEVER do 1 million PPV buys in the US. In face, if the fight does happen eventually, I doubt it will even be on PPV at all. Just regular Showtime like the Joshua-Klitschko fight was.

Nothing is set in stone. The priority as of now is the Wlad rematch but even tha tis not yet 100%. AJ says he is only concentrating on one fight at a time, 2 or 3 fights ahead if a bit much from Hearn but I guess he is trying to build the come back.

That's the fight AJ lovers and Wilder haters don't want. I like both guys. It's the most talked about fight at Heavyweight at least here in the U.S. I want to see it more than any Heavyweight fight right now.

Wtf since when is Fury not with Warren anymore? Thought Frank was just talking about puttin Tyson on the Saunders-Khurtsidze card and gettin Hughie that Parker fight still. Frank has never been Fury's promoter.. Hennessy promotions promoted Fury.

I bet it's not a booking but more a reservation with a paid deposit just in case Fury wins his appeal, gets in shape, fights some tune ups and doesn't p|ss off h0mos again.

Wembley cant be booked yet, Tottenham are playing there next season and the fixtures arent done yet. Same reason theyre looking at Wales for the Klitschko fight Was just about to post the same thing.

Dude could potentilla be banned for four years if the regulating bodies choose to enforce the maximum ban, he's sounding a touch little optimistic here.

So now the haters are going to hate on Wilder, because Parker is milking his belt instead of a unification fight with him this summer. That's why the heavys sucked for the last 10 years to much milking and not enough fights people want to see and care about. In fact that's why boxing as a whole has gone down and pay per view does not work like it used to, to get fighters paid more in the past. Not enough exposure to market fighters and make new stars.

Yeah, and the winner fights Bellew, tbh Id like to see them have a little tournament, they are each others level. Will be good fights. Wilder and Joshua walkover all of them, Joshua/Parker odds are embarrasing for a fight people want to see 1/20. Geez, Parker/Whyte winner getting Bellew? I get your opinion of the 2 former, but you're significantly overstating the importance of a ballooned cruiser whos opponent fell over into a loss.

Hearn probably said "potential, targeted date that's lightly penciled in, assuming everything falls into place perfectly from now until then" - so naturally Fury heard "guaranteed money". This dude is just looking for a way to stay relevant and avoid bankruptcy. If that dropkick even has a bank account.

Also, WTF is up with his voice there? Sounds like he's 30 years older and just gargled with glass shards. There was a period of time when he disappeared from the public for a while and was rumored to be on drugs. When he resurfaced in videos again, his voice sounded fucked up. He hasn't been right since then.

Parker v Whyte? Is that what they're talking about? Ugh, what a shyt match. This division was supposed to be HOT right now.

That doesn't make any sense at all. I'm not even sure Fury will be back in the ring in the first place. Well, by date set, it looks like they mean they phoned Wembley stadium and asked them if 18th April 2018 was available and were told "of course it is, thats a fuking year away". So I would take it with a grain of salt.
