Comments Thread For: Fury Promoter Concerned With Inactivity, Wants Joshua Date Set Soon

[PRINCEKOOL]

Fury wanted that December fight, what I was hearing was this, if Fury was going to have that fight then Warren has to do it under Queensbury.

It wouldn’t be under Fury’s ESPN deal, ESPN wants to use Fury’s last TWO fights on a AJ mega payday.

Hence why Fury isn’t happy himself, not only because of inactivity but he isn’t allowed to have that last AJ fight as a free agent.

Where do you hear this stuff from?

How on earth would you know such details?

Fury and now Warren laying out the excuse ready. As long as a fighter is still training and sparring which Fury has seemed to have been doing for most of the time they'll be fine. It's when they spend a lot of time out of the gym when it hurts.

It had nothing to do with Wilder.
Inspired is correct tv & the promoter's wanted a February date because espn had no window with other more popular sport's taking centre stage in December & Bob top rank couldn't afford Fury's contracted money without a gate. So Fury said sod it fed up with being messed around & set up another fight which the same people again blocked for exactly the same reasons.
Like bob said theres a difference between making an appeal in the court of arbitration & there actually being one & Bob should know being a lawyer.
It'll be interesting to see if Wilder does get step aside though.

you are right! Now that you mentioned it i do recall the issue with the December dates due to college football bowl games or something. I’m still wondering what is going on with the Wilder situation though. I wonder if he will get step aside money & maybe a shot at the winner if he wins a few fights in 2021.

I'm sorry Frank but it won't happen. Bob Arum is not going to lose money or go bankrupt by financing another one of Tyson Fury's bum fights inside of a bubble with no spectators. When there is suitable venue, date and site fee then the Joshua fight will happen but not before.

Even with fans fury don't pull in numbers in the us his 2 fights before wilder ? Like 10k total , it should be in the UK for the fans sake but I guess its all about money now .
