Comments Thread For: Frank Warren: If I Promoted Joshua, I'd Make Him Fight Fury Next

[Kzbox]

But you can’t get him to fight Usyk ? What about if you promoted Usyk ? Notice he never brings that up,just the other day he said Joshua wasn’t important for Tysons resume when he was told that’s one of the guys Fury needs to solidify his standing in this era .

Pretty obvious they talking about the money route here Fury vs Joshua makes more money with less risk than Fury vs Usyk so beating Francis for a big payday then cashing out with Joshua then probably would retire i don't think his heart is in boxing any more.

One thing i noticed recently is that Usyk wasn’t calling Fury “Greedy Belly”” anymore. He was actually saying positive things like he is a great fighter & good person. I’m wondering if Usyk/Dubois is not selling too well? If it isn’t then Usyk might be realizing that that 50/50 rematch split doesn’t look so bad after all. How much will he make fighting Hrgovic if he gets by Dubois? That recent positive talk about Fury got me wondering if Usyk realizes he better take that 70/30 then 50/50 rematch split or he can kiss that last big retirement check goodbye. He is fighting Dubois for what 6 million? How much is Fury getting in Saudi Arabia to fight in that crossover circus event with no belt on the line?

Fury wanted to fight Joshua when they knew he was going to have to fight Wilder.

Then he wanted to fight Joshua when the whole world knew he was fighting Chisora.

Then he wanted to fight Joshua when it was clear he was lining up some weird crossover exhibition against Ngannou.

All the other times... he didn't want Joshua.

Frank, just stop talking.

I wonder if Fish Eyes and Hearnia are actually good buddies that have a friendly rivalry to see who can come up with the dumbest BS.

Not entirely true he offered to fight Joshua months ago which Eddie/Joshua confirmed they turned down because they are going to fight Wilder in December yet they still had the time to fight Whyte/Helenius both fights could of got done.

Since you are promoting Greedy Belly why didn't you make him to fight AJ for the undisputed championship a couple years ago? Why didn't you push him to fight Usyk for the undisputed championship since last year? You and Greedy Belly are good at talking about fights both of you are certain he doesn't dare to take. Greedy Belly is all talk and no action....

Tyson Fury isn’t looking for a real fight and hasn’t. I’m fine with him fighting who he wants atm but stop all the posturing. Tyson is realizing his comments from years back have cost him endorsements and is looking to fill the gap there by appealing to more casuals. His new sister in law made bank just taking pics for brands.

Are we talking about the same Fury that retired?

Or the Fury that retired years ago after popping dirty drug tests?

Oh wait, I know, it's the Fury that ducked a superfight for undisputed HW champion earlier this year.

Or maybe it's the Fury that is fighting a non-boxer next?

I keep getting confused with all these guys.

Right on!!

Warren knows Wilder is going to murder him and then he can't make as much free money having Fury fight him.

Joshua wasn't interested in negotiating with Fury because he had a path planned... which was Whyte AND Wilder. They made no secret of that.

Basically they weren't going to waste time with Fury on the remote chance that he was serious this time.

And I'm confident he wasn't serious. It was purely a media soundbite to justify Ngannou.
