Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua: I'm Not Going To Sit Around And Wait For Geezer Tyson Fury!

[OldTerry]

The theory is always... why would Fury do what fight fans want when he could instead fight [Big name 1], [Big name 2], [Big name 3] in 12 months and then retire as the best ever?

Look at Fury's history. Tell me that's a guy who is ever going to go from one big fight to the next.

2018 Fought Wilder in an accelerated comeback
2019 turned down ordered rematch with 40% split to fight Schwarz and Wallin
2020 Fought Wilder... spent the next 18 months talking about big fights and trying to swerve the rematch
2021 Forced to finally fight Wilder after 20 months
2022 Mandated fight against Whyte after petitioning the WBC for more money. Then loads of talk about big fights again before fighting Chisora, who we already knew he was negotiating with!

History tells you everything you need to know. He's not going to suddenly fight back to back fights against Usyk and Joshua.

Say what you like about him, but he's pretty consistent in what he does. He might say the opposite but you're not supposed to actually believe him!

My money is on Ngannou for his next fight. Then protracted negotiations over a mandatory. Possibly Ruiz or Wilder. Odds on he retires again. And through all of that he'll talk about Usyk, Joyce, Joshua, Wilder, Ruiz and say he doesn't care who he fights as he would beat them all.

It's what he's always done.

Great analysis. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it is a DUCK, anyway you look at it.

Wilder doesn't enhance anyone's resume at this point

Maybe or maybe not, but a Wilder fight against either AJ or Usyk would make a lot of money for everyone concerned, so business wise it makes sense. While I believe a Wilder-Usyk fight can be made, I don't believe AJ wants any part of Wilder out of fear of losing badly by knockout.

AJ should fight someone who can't punch and has a glass jaw.

[OldTerry]

Sadly Hearn admitted y'all pulled out of the fight because you weren't mentally ready after getting dominated by Usyk.

I'm pretty sure the reason why Fury was denying Usyk a rematch clause was because he wanted to get a bigger paycheck with Fury vs AJ.

Another possibility is that Fury isn't all that confident that he would win against Usyk.

Fury must stop this 'I'll fight for free ' and then demand the lions share , that is un-defendable rubbish .Like all fans I'm sick of these business politics , it' was only last December that Fury v Joshua was put on ice for one of the reasons being that Joshua's high paying sponsors didn't agree with it , among one of the vague reasons for it not to take place The other that it was a bad time for Joshua .The dreaded rematch clause (which should be banned!!) seems responsible for the latest cancellation as all other matters from both have been resolved. So a fight somewhere down the line , the so called 'rematch clause' has put the brakes on a unified Heavyweight title fight because some promoter and boxer wants it guaranteed they get paid twice ......that's the sad reality!

All you do is talk politics on here if Furys the topic and include Hearn or Joshua in it . You were dead wrong again about this fight and did everything in your power to convince yourself it wasn’t Furys fault from the get go trying to justify every action he did which indicated he didn’t really want this fight but you don’t actually know much about boxing because Hearn lives in your head which is up Furys ass 24/7 on here .

“Truth is 30% is about right and makes Usyk around £20m ..apparently , Uysk is not ****** and knows this is not Saudi Arabia , it's England Wembley Stadium and Fury is the draw . Fury's just made around £8m by not accepting parity .Thankfully it wasn't silly Eddie Hearn (who been shouting all over the place for him to accept parity) doing his business.”

I won't even reply to your ******ity...

You won't reply because facts have slapped you on your face.

The best thing for the heavyweight division, and for boxing fans, is for all the top fighters in the division to ignore Fury from now on and focus on fighting each other.

[kafkod]

Only in Britain can a guy who has lost nearly all his meaningful fights in 4 years still get press

Says this fucking moron in the comments section of an article about AJ at an American boxing site.

[hugh grant]

Fury needs Josh name on resume to be up there with Lennox Lewis and Ali. They will fight oneday, because the alternativevdoesnt bare thinking. They will be called duckers for rest of life by each others fans

You know EVERYBODY on here dissed Wilder BUT he is the only FIGHTER WHO LITERALLY TRIES TO GET FIGHTS TO HAPPEN…..

Y’all can say what you want but he at least TRIES to fight the BEST!!!

He agreed to fight AJ in England for a flat fee of 15 million. Y’all can act like it didn’t happen but IT DID!!!

AJ DUCKED HIM AND ALL YALL APPLAUDED!!!

He is the draw. He is the A Side. That thinking is why NO REAL FIGHTS ARE GETTING MADE!!!

AJ IS NOW A PROVEN DUCKER

FURY IS NOW A PROVEN DUCKER

I bet you if USYK offers Wilder a fight HE WILL TAKE IT!!!

WIN, LOSE, OR DRAW!!!

That is why it is REAL when he says he is a WARRIOR!!!

Y’all hate on this man BUT HE WILL FIGHT WHOMEVER

Wilder is 37 years old. He won the WBC title 8 years ago and since then he has done nothing but run his mouth, turn down multiple unification fights and get humiliated 3 times by Fury. He is now running away from a WBC final eliminator with Andy Ruiz and trying to sneak into yet another title fight without doing anything to earn it.

Finkel knows Usyk can't fight Wilder because of his mandatory obligations, that's the only reason he's talking about him now.
