Comments Thread For: Fury Says Joshua Fight Not Imminent: "Wilder Might Be Next, Who Knows?"

He's in court with Wilder. Why people keep ignoring this I don't get it.

[Rip Chudd]

Wake me when a fight is announced. It's to the point where you can't believe what anyone says. I'll either be happy about his next fight or shaking my head in disappointment. Boxing becomes more of a joke daily

I said this many times. The Wilder thing needs to be sorted out. Court dates are not easy to get during covid. Nothing has moved fast during this pandemic. All we can do is wait. Usyk’s team talking yesterday & now Fury today. Wilder’s name coming up again

[FLY TY]

Been saying the same thing for the longest. He's fighting Wilder next.

Beginning of February, Hearn said 2 weeks...Arum said everything was agreed to 2 weeks ago.

Now it might be Wilder again.

Never understood why Arum and/or Hearn declared the fight being close to done without a resolution with wilder's situation. That's not gonna go away without some serious litigation

[TinAgeOfBoxing]

Fury would want the fight to be fixed like the klit and wilder fights. Otherwise he will fight bums.

The AJ vs Fury fight was agreed on 9 months ago. There's not too many reasons why a fight agreed to in principle THAT LONG AGO has not been formally announced.

Everyone acting brand new about no fight date or venue...yet we all saw a contract for 2 fights signed, we all saw Fury's promoters push back the date several times, only to have those same promoters suddenly decide the contract for a fight they constantly delayed was somehow expired. They've had mediation, they're in arbitration, and they could be headed to court afterwards.

So with all that going on, you should be able to easily figure out why things are the way they are.

You're not going to hear about a fight date or place or tickets going on sale or ANYTHING on AJ vs Fury until Wilder's situation runs its course...or until Fury decides to honor the contract he signed.

Like he just hinted at.

This doesn’t really make much sense . Litigation is the act of perusing legal action . What legal action can Wilder enforce to stop Fury fighting anyone he wants ?

Hearn wouldn’t be waiting on the contract to be sent back if there was any legal proceedings stopping the undisputed fight would he ? Wilder has nothing to do with no announcement whatsoever, it’s Fury himself along with multiple signatures having to go back and forth on Furys side .

There is no Wilder situation , if there was there’s no remote chance Warren and Hearn would be agreeing to the same thing . Unless team Fury is lying to Hearn and wasting their own time and money on rumors only to bring Wilder in like a magic trick while ignoring the mega money fight for them , none of this would make sense .

Worst case scenario for real fans is Fury completely ignores the undisputed fight and still takes a meaningless fight ,then fights Wilder after he just went through a legal case with him which makes him just as crazy and a ducker to . It’s going to be up to Arum to get him to fight , Arum isn’t waiting his time for nothing though ,if this fight doesn’t get at least signed it’s going to be a lot of finger pointing .

Flintstone -125, Fury +105

Some interesting comments, also reiterating that he is never fighting in the UK is also interesting

So I guess AJ vs Fury in the UK is never happening according to Fury
