AJ is getting on with his career and will be fighting a mandatory challenger next, who has been one of the best heavyweight contenders in the last 10 years. Then can easily make a fight with one of the best p4p fighters on the planet...all the while stating that he really wants to fight Fury.
Fury and Warren however chat nonsense and fury can't even get his 3rd fight with Wilder...or even a top 10 level contender. Wasn't he going to rematch that fat guy who cut him up? lol
What is happening?
I don't understand why I was included in that. All I did was explain why Pulev is mando and how Joshua had no say in Pulev going before Usyk.
Don't takei t negatively, I agreed with your opinion. I was just replying to an umber of comments at one time.
He has mass appeal in the sense that people know him and like him, but a lot of those people aren't boxing fans and won't pay for tickets or PPVs. The Joshua audience will.
Thats bollocks. If you have mass appeal, people want to see you fight. Tyson, Pac, Floyd....the hell you talking about?
I don't get it....Fury has mass appeal but no one will watch him fight???

Why’s this dyslexic ginger laughing? He’s the type of muppet you basically just slap upside the head on the road and tell him to keep moving.
Back to topic: Fury is just being Fury - a typical con artist. He’ll answer this question when he needs attention. The guy is an attention starved tosser and he wants all the limestone himself. If AJ beats Pulev (who would be the 2nd best opponent on Fury’s resume) in style - watch Fury start trying to hug the limelight again with his posturing.
Regardless, I think it all depends on how AJ looks against Pulev. If he looks sharp - expect Fury to take a warm-up fight in Jan or Feb and Arum will push for the AJ fight since it would be the last fight on his current contract. However, if AJ looks pedestrian - Fury will fight him next.
It's because of the contractual situation with Wilder
I'm like 99% sure the reality of it is team Wilder know he can't beat Fury but at 36 or whatever he is, he doesn't have time to rebuild from scratch, so they are trying to milk the last dime out of this third fury fight. But I think they overplayed it and the contract lapsed.
But now it's a legal situation so it is what it is, you can't blame fury, he's been waiting for Wilder all year then tried to put a little something together at last minute to give us something to watch and team Wilder blocked it.
Go talk to them, it's them who's ruining it for us all.
Well this isn't the best place to get an honest answer on that. You will be told that Joshua offering more money than Fury will have ever won from a single fight, multiple call outs and a signed contract would be proof of Joshua ducking.
You will also be told Fury is a glove cheat and will be too busy getting sued by that nob head Deontay Wilder to be able to. Fight anybody.
Truth is though that Joshua would love to fight Fury should he get past Pulev but Fury is flakey so you never know what he does or doesn't want to do and fish eyes along with wrinkled peanut Arum would rather this fight didn't happen cuz of the chance Joshua and give Eddie Hearn an undisputed champ in the stable.
Contracts bollocks is bollocks. Wilder's time limit is up. Heck I wouldn't even have a problem with Fury not fighting Wilder a 3rd time or AJ IF Fury fought at least a top 10 heavyweight. His opponents since his comeback from his ban have been some of the worst ever for a so called champion.
Joshua fans are so insipid. Just a sad indictment on boxing culture in this country. Apparently Pulev is a 38 year old who will get iced in 6 round and yet also the among the best heavyweight contenders out there.
The way I saw Sky Sports promoting the fight was downright disgusting. Using images of nurses on covid wards and charity drives all to push a ****ty fight against a +700 underdog that they're charging £25 for. I dont mind Joshua as a guy but the machine behind him is everything I hate about organised sports these days.
Quote where I said he'll be kod in 6 rounds? I think AJ goes the distance with Pulev and yes, AJ is much better than the bUlgarian, but that same BUlgarian is a top 10 heavyweight. Name me 9 opponents AJ could have fought that he hasn't already in the division and are willing to fight him (so excludes Wilder and Fury). I'm waiting.
I'm an eternal pessimist when it comes to big fights, but I'm with you on this. I think there's big news coming.
Yeah, there is, but you're bull****ting.
Before the pandemic the IBF ordered a mando on a date before the WBO's ordered mando. The IBF ordered Pulev because Pulev requested mandatory status.
Pulev tried to get in the mando slot before AJ rematched Ruiz. The IBF let AJ get his belts back and that's about all they did for Joshua.
Pulev's been mando at least since he whooped Hughie.
Usyk was still fighting CW and talking about a HW fight. It was known he would be the WBO mando but he hadn't even yet stepped into the ring as a HW by the time Kubrat was the IBF mando.
Fury fans don't need bull like this to make Josh look bad....it's just extra nonsense.
AJ has 3 belts in a fraction of the fights Wilder had and in less fights than Fury but yeah, supposedly he's crap.
Obviously a troll thread, but whatever.
I think the big problem with making AJ vs Fury is that Fury does now have this mass appeal but the demographics AJ hits bring the money. Your average man in the street is likely to know and like Fury but the coked-up city boys who'll pay the money for tickets to fights they'll get too hammered to even remember follow AJ. Fury vs Pulev would struggle to sell out an arena, let alone a stadium. But it seems like AJ's willing to accept 50:50 so the fights will happen.

I hope you guys are right. AJ's rhetoric of late has been quite negative in terms of this fight happening anytime soon.
I really do believe this fight is done (If AJ gets by Pulev). Can’t wait for them to announce it.

Fury think's he's the best Ginger since Tina Louise!
Look her up for those who don't get the joke...you will.

Green k bruh
AJ is getting on with his career and will be fighting a mandatory challenger next, who has been one of the best heavyweight contenders in the last 10 years
lolwut? ^^^
There's a reason why AJ decided to fight old man Pulev instead of his other mandatory.
Fury's last opponent is better than anyone on AJ's resume.

I saw that, I thought it was totally shameless. Piggy backing on the health services to promote a fight.
That’s a new low.
hahahahahaha

I have a sneaking suspicion that we'll know exactly what is happening with Fury after Saturday.
Eddie is being coy, and he's never coy about anything.
