Comments Thread For: Fury's Promoter: If Joshua Doesn't Fight Tyson, Why Doesn't He Fight Hrgovic?

[Ry92]

Hrgovic was the top choice of the Usyk nor Zhang fight couldn't be made, yet fury is naming Aussie guys no one outside Aussie ever heard of. Clearly pr protection of Warren part.

[tokon]

Warren is desperately clutching at straws here and I don't think even the Fury diehards are buying it anymore.

You're right, Stevie wonder can see what's going on here!

[Boxviewer]

Greedy Belly team is trying hard to deflect attention from the cowardice of their man. Wasn't the very same Hrgovic around when the coward ran from undisputed fight and fought a meaningless fight vs Chisora for third time? This shameless and greedy people have no moral ground to tell others who must fight.

The only thing that match room is hanging on to is what's left of Joshua's name.There could be a huge payday in December (or next year!) with a guy who Fury has beaten three times but has a little 'historic' history attached for some,( it's actually another total humiliation for Joshua)So why would Edward put his 'work in progress' in with any one who will be odds on to beat him? .99% of the time Joshua has been odds on favourite and look at the clowns he's fought . Hardened Joshua 'fans' come up with Parker or Whyte as his biggest victory as there is no one else (please no old Wlad jokes!)Don't expect any more than you've had from Joshua , he's not capable and that's why you have this situation of Hearn trying to deflect from answering the question of why won't Joshua get in the ring with Fury , when any one with any sense can see it so clearly.They are waiting for the big one when really the big one is asking them now ...with world title ! I don't dislike or blame Joshua but this is what is making a mess out of the sport.The Saudi money is a curse in some respects , holding up the division at their convenience for nearly a year , which is totally unacceptable but they all smell huge dollars!

As IBF mandatory think he is ruled out from fighting for the WBC title unless he was willing to relinquish his position. It’s a game of chess at the moment and who can ultimately control the division. Matchroom were and still are minority players but with Joshua and Hrgovic and the relationship they have with Usyks team they are becoming the controlling force and dictating when the biggest fights may happen when Queensberry and Top Rank seemingly had it all in their hands.

The HW division has just ground to a halt. Need the WBC to mandate a challenger and for Hrgovic to defend his interim status to help grease the wheels.

Because of the Saudi money in December the top 10 should all sort this crossroads happening at heavyweight out & fight each other on the card.
Fury Usyk
Wilder Aj
Zhang Joyce
Hrgovic Ruiz
Sanchez Ortiz.

Take my fcuking money!

I think it's pretty clear why Joshua isn't getting in the ring with Fury.

Before you get in the ring you need to negotiate a contract with them.

Hearn has said he's in discussions but that they're not going to change path based on verbal offers of fights. Joshua, and others, have been burned by this guy before.

If Fury were to produce a signed contract it might be different. It would certainly put some pressure on Joshua.

It's incredible that the number one ranked fighter has, through his own practices, put himself in a position where he needs to make the running on fights, not just accept a challenge.

Worry about your own fighters fish eyes

AJ has already agreed to fight Wilder for way more money than he would get from a 40% split with Fury.

Fury is the one looking for an opponent, not AJ, so a better question would be ... why doesn't Fury fight Hrogovic? Hearn has verbally offered Tyson a fight with Filip.
