    Wtf does Matchroom have to do with anything?

      I think there next step is to get Zhang signed to Queensbury after he flattens Joyce then feed him to the Usyk and Saudis to get Fury a get of Usyk free card again.
      Zhang is signed to Queensbury. I also think Joyce wins the rematch anyway unless he retains Salas then the fight is a toss up again .

        Do you even follow boxing? After Dubois it's undesputed or Hrgovic.

              Talking about Fury fighting is like talking about catching wind: isn't happening

                    He's been busy developing it for years. If he doesn't like it, he should stop ducking.

                    When he won the championships the first time, he got stripped left and right for not facing his obligations, then had to vacate the rest in advance of being stripped of them for his multiple doping violations. Then after he beat Wilder, he had to be forced through a year of legal action to honor his contractual rematch. He couldn't even come to terms with Whyte for the mandatory obligations there, and purse bid got pushed back several times. He's had negotiations with AJ fall through several times because he wasn't negotiating in good faith. Then there were his antics with Usyk, when he even priced himself out of the Saudis. He had negotiations fall through with Ruiz. In the interim he's talked about fighting Joyce, AJ, a nobody from Australia, Jon Jones, Francis Ngannou, etc, and he's STILL got no fight lined up. He's never once had a fight in any of his championship reigns that he didn't behave like a primadonna and screw the negotiations.

                      Saudi Arabia is taking over Soccer, Boxing, Golf, Formula One and hopefully the rest.
                      A great nation doing great things for sports!
                      A great nation my ass. What's so great about Saudi? It's full of entitled, rich, elitist oil sands owners who run their country like it's the dark ages. If they get the best fights happening that's great but Saudi is FAR from a great nation. The princes are just bored from being isolationists for so long. They're just trying to take attention away from their lengthy history of human rights atrocities.
