Comments Thread For: Fury Challenges Joshua To 'Battle of Britain' Fight Later This Year

[Andrew_red]

I believe Fury should wait for Usyk. Joshua for sure will be an underdog here but he has decent chances of winning - even Wilder looked quite dangerous in the last fight. Tyson does not have much to win in this fight, but he does have much to lose.

If you listen to eddies tone he’s already trying to find a way out. He’s had an offer sent to em today.

Yep. Things are moving fast and so they need to be given the short window of sealing this deal. If 60/40 is the split offered... think that is very reasonable at this stage for a voluntary defense vs Joshua, lets hope it gets made and in the uk for a change. Dont see the timeline working for them to try and ship the fight to the Middle East.

So there is a twist, team Fury are trying to force Joshua into the fight 'In November'.

There is always a twist.

I told people that there is a opportunistic reason as to why Fury has jumped at Joshua now.

1: He most likely senses he is maybe still shook from his two loses to Usyk.

So he wants to derail the plans of Joshua rebuilding, and is jumping at him. There is nothing wrong with this at all from Fury, but if people are real? You know what is happening.

I personally don't think Joshua should be shook from the Usyk loses, he performed well in his last fight and improved. Irrespective of the loss, he fought a better fight against one of boxing's pound for pound best etc.

He’s not the biggest star whatsoever in heavyweight division. Fury is he’s worldwide. Joshua has U.K. and that’s it.

Also, Fury fight with Whyte beat Joshua in attendance and fury has matched Joshua’s best PPV selling fight himself.

Go look at PPV Buys for fury - Wlad.

Joshua *was* the biggest star. His own promoter has accepted he’s the 2nd biggest star. Still really nice place to be, but not quite what you tried to imply.

It was rather lazy of you tbh, all you needed to do was a tiny bit of research pal. Get ya numbers in order.

Fury wants Joshua to finish his career himself and shut up the portion of Britain that refuse to give him his props.
once he destroys Joshua, AJ, Eddie, Barry and the fans will all have to come out and accept Joshua is not half the fighter fury was, and that all the Garbage they came out with is just as irrelevant as Joshua himself. Which I will not miss for the world ! It will likely drove some to String themselves up from the ceiling fan!

he isn’t challenging Joshua because he thinks Joshua is a bigger star or draw. It’s purely down to bragging rights.

I guess Eddie is also the biggest, strongest and hugest promoter in the whole wide world aswell huh? You guys are something else for Christ sake. Literally need to give ya arses a rest and ya mouths a chance, all I smell is Shiiiiitttt when you guys talk.

You should have looked at my other posts. I've always hated matchroom and I never liked aj.

I was simply saying that if Fury, which I love, is asking to fight joshua, it's because defeating him would be a great achievement, even if aj is not an outstanding boxer.

Had you of said just that and as concise I’d jump to say I agree.

I still agree with you.

Btw aj is running away once more, asking for 2 weeks later date....as if 2 weeks could change his preparation...

This is sport and boxing at the highest level.

Everything counts and has a effect.

But? Regardless, I think if Joshua really wants this fight and is game 'He should just take one of the dates Team Fury have offered'.

It is clear that Fury is not going to move from his original offers. So if Joshua takes the fight, Fury has got what he wanted.

And even if Joshua does not take the fight? Fury still gets exactly what he wants.

If Joshua does not take the fight, Fury knows how the public will perceive Anthony Joshua's decision.

Tyson Fury is in part playing a game, political. It comes natural to him.

Joshua is without any belt and running out of lucrative options. The Fury fight makes the most sense and also gives him the title shot. Let's see the response from AJ.

when joshua gets beaten down real bad he will have the rematch clause ready

[champion4ever]

Make it happen! I'm down widdit!

Why would there be a rematch if Joshua gets "beaten down real bad"?
