I'm a Fury fan but

[dan_cov]

he won't face AJ.

I think he wins and all but just like he ducked David Price he will duck AJ.

Its like Khan avoiding Brook all these years. He'd rather get killed than to lose to a fellow Brit.

He despises AJ and is jealous of him imo and couldn't handle the thought of losing to him.

[dan_cov]

I don't get how he can hate Haye so much for pulling out when his history of avoiding competition and pulling out is on par. Lets not forget he ducked Price, period. He pulled out of fighting Ustinov and Wladimir.

He will never fight AJ IMHO (just speculation).
I don't think he could live with losing to him. He'd probably end up doing something silly if he lost to him.

You should go back to the looney bin.

It's not Fury's fault that the arbitrator ruled in Wilder's favor.

Why would anyone leave that amount of money on the table in a AJ fight to make 1/3 of it in a Wilder fight? He was obviously blindsided too. He thought he can do what he wants, he was probably told he doesn’t need to fight Wilder as the contract is done.

Seriously boxers are left out of the loop a lot of times, recently Shakur Stevenson was arguing with Hearn and Josh Warrington on social media, not knowing that Andre ward turned down an offer for him without even notifying him. He ended up looking like a mug, now he doesn’t work with Andre ward anymore.

So you might end up seeing Fury being a free man contractually very soon. Because he must not be very happy that Arum cost him a lot of money.

Wouldn't surprise me look at Crawford Spence, remember Hatton Witter, Khan Brook sometimes the bragging rights are worth more than the extra millions

Besides I'm certain Arum swore revenge on Hearn after the Lopez purse bids he was pissed and Warren can't stand him they would be happy not doing business at least until Joshua's stock has fallen and Hearn comes begging

[IronDanHamza]

He’ll fight him. Just not at the moment.

I always thought that Fury wouldn’t fight him coming off such a long lay off.

[Toffee]

I've always said Fury won't fight Joshua. He may be the better boxer, but Joshua is just not the right type of fighter for him. I also said that the July/August fight never made any sense due to layoffs, timing, weather.

But I'm still disappointed because it seemed like it might just happen against the odds.

I don't think it will happen now. Fury dances to his own tune. He fights who he wants to fight. He wins belts, walks away from rematches, challenges people and gets fights ordered only to walk away again. Basically he does what he wants.

I can actually respect that. He decides what he's worth and what he wants to do.

Just don't try to convince me that he's the kind of guy who takes on all comers. He takes calculated risks, and if they pay off he takes his money and his belt and he runs off shouting about how great he is.

Seems to be working for him. And who am I to argue?

It's not Fury's fault that the arbitrator ruled in Wilder's favor.

I know. It's like people live in an alternate reality where money, laws, and other objective factors simply do not exist. Like boxers are in high school and must fight the other tough guys for cred.

You might be right. I just cannot believe anyone would leave that sort of money on the table because of revenge. I guess you are right with the number of fights that’s gone that way too.
