Also interesting to note had arbitration not been ruled in Wilder's favor the WBO was going to call the mandatory anyway because Usyk's lawyers sent a show cause asking the WBO to call the mandatory if Hearn couldn't show proof the fight was signed. We got the answer to that last Friday. This fight wasn't close to being made. Warren said even if it had suddenly got made it wouldn't have happened until September/October because there were so many things that still hadn't been worked out. The money never came all they had was an assurance from the Prince that it would be paid.

So Tyson Fury announces the fight. But Warren says it wasn't even close to being done.
Which one is it?Comment

Remember it was supposed to be a 2 fight deal then suddenly they were only talking about one fight and nobody ever questioned why it changed and nobody explained why it changed? People heads were in the sand when it came to what was going on hereComment

It changed to one fight deal because Eddie Hearn and Joshua only have one fight left on their contract
With Eddie going to DAZN in the UK and AJ contracted to Sky, It’s very likely that they will part ways because DAZN don’t want Eddie to have any ties with sky and be exclusive to them.Comment

He's had only one fight on his contract since Pulev so nothing changed from the time they were saying it's 2 fights to its 1 fight.

So we believe Warren? Who was telling everyone that the negotiations were preventing Fury from fighting, even though he couldn't fight anyway?
Also the fight wouldn't have happened until Sep/Oct because stuff had to be worked out, but they had the Wilder fight sorted in days? Anyone going to still say they didn't plan the Wilder fight after hearing this?Comment
