Comments Thread For: Hearn Not Convinced Everyone in Team Fury Wanted Joshua Fight To Happen

[creekrat77]

Fury has ducked Joshua for years. I used to think he beats him easy and was originally his biggest fan.. now I'm kinda leaning toward the underdog in Joshua, if and when it happens.

Even tho he promotes both - don’t believe Eddie wants Usyk next for many reasons. Usyk could make Joshua look bad as he’s a smaller guy with elite boxing skills. And real chance he can win. Another L for Meal ticket AJ would be seriously damaging to his global marketability.

Good points. And Usyk could be used by Hearn to bait fury and wilder. of course wilder would never fight Usyk, he'd get slaughtered easily. You would think fury would fight Usyk but who knows for sure, fury seems to have lost confidence lately.

Disagree with Hear on this one. Bob is crafty and hedged his bets figuring the arbitrator could rule one way or another. He let Eddie do all the work on the Saudi deal and put together a contingency plan and venue to execute quickly and get Wilder trilogy done. Allows the AJ fight to potentially happen later in 2021.

Arum actually said in several interviews that the worst outcome of arbitration was a pay out, he had a view of the contract and is a trained lawyer. At best he messed up big time.

Bruce Templar of Top Rank announced Fury was fighting a ppv in July 3 days before the arbitration decision ...

Anyone that thinks Joshua and his team should have “Known” what would happen in this arbitration is a dosser.

I miss how would you know when you are been told that it’s all fine and sorted. How many times did Arum says that? Even with Fury saying he would never fight Wilder again for what he said about gypsies etc

I just feel like Fury himself had no clue, he like many of us thought and believe what people like Arum said about the contract. He is a fighter, he isn’t going to be bothering himself reading pages of what the legal documents says.

Team Joshua doesn’t know what on the contract neither, and could only go with what Team Fury tells them. So you must be a moron to expect anything different.

I would be shocked if both Fury and Joshua comes out winner in their next fights.

When were they supposed to fight?

Don't want to see a trilogy fight with Ruiz and a fight against Whyte I'd like to see even less.

Usyk has to be the only really sensible option unless they really are trying to duck him. I don't think AJ will be trying to avoid him. Maybe Edward is wary.

Old man Ortiz would seem pointless also unless there really was no-one else to fight and there is someone to fight -- Usky, his mandatory.

[wileyhemi]

Why is Hearn even talking about "other options" when Usyk us the next mandatory in line? Joshua's side have never seemed keen on an Usyk fight.

It's very simple: A Usyk fight won't make nearly as much money as the other ones mentioned

[DougalDylan]

I think they are just negotiating with Uysk so it doesn't turn into another Plant vs Canelo where the B side holds the A hostage.

[Hustle]

The only fight for AJ is Usyk. He is the mandatory. Get him out the way so there wont be anything blocking undisputed in december.

Eddie think he slick. He wanna save that usyk mandatory just in case wilder wins.

I bet the house joshua vs wilder for undisputed isn't next if wilder beats fury in july. Eddie and this whole forum will shift gears and say undisputed aint necessary
