Comments Thread For: Barry Hearn is Not Confident of Fury vs. Joshua Coming Off in 2022

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The President of Matchroom Boxing, Barry Hearn, is 'doubtful' that Anthony Joshua will step in the ring to fight Tyson Fury in a full division unification. A few months ago, the two champions were close to reaching an agreement to collide on a date in August in Saudi Arabia.

Don't blame him, I'm quite doubtful the Wilder trilogy happens. If it doesn't what does that mean? Can Fury move on to fight someone else or will he be taken to court again? Will the WBC order a mandatory defense? Will Fury retire as a result?

Oh fck off boxing.
with all your divided promoters and multiple champions it’s rare we are in for a real fight.
Boxing is just a joke sometimes.

it’s not right that ufc fighters get paid so little, but gee they churn out good fights against their champions

You’d be surprised. There are many many more marginal UFC fighters whose net worth is far far greater than a boxer. You have millionaires in the UFC with 8 losses. 8 losses in boxing and you are poor. In Boxing you’re either a top earner or you’re living check to check. There very little in the middle with boxing. This is why the UFC model is tops. Everyone thinks that just because you have a PPV that rakes in millions that this is the norm in boxing. These are fringe and boxing won’t survive under its present model. Who TF wants to do all that training to earn garbage fighting once or twice a year?

It means Fury is stripped and then the belt goes to a nobody for AJ to quickly scoop up through a mandatory. Boxing is corrupt.

But it wasn’t divided...the offer was on the table for fury to get his highest ever purse and he ran away from it...blame fury because he gets in the ring.
I doubt fury ever fights Joshua as he knows he will get exposed and knocked out.
Has comparisons to Amur khan vs brook with Khan name checking brook but never manned up to fight him.
im done waiting for this fight now

If Fury avoids the trilogy, gets stripped and kills the unification fight as a result then he'll only have himself to blame. Not Wilder or AJ, no promoter or sanctioning body can be used as scapegoats, it'll all be Fury's fault, not 'corrupt boxing'.

Barry might be a nonce but he’s far more honest than Eddie is.

Former UFC champions are currently cashing their names out versus YouTubers because they are that poorly paid.

UFC fighters are disgustingly underpaid. The UFC model is still in the dark ages.

I don't think Fury gets stripped. The contract is between the fighters. The court has ordered the rematch so if Fury doesn't follow through its the court's that punish him for breach of contract. The WBC only sanction the fight for their title the contract has nothing to do with them. Only way Fury would be stripped is if this fight was ordered by the WBC but it's not ordered,their just happy to sanction it for the fee.
