Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury admits it would be 'a travesty' if he did not fight Anthony Joshua

Not that hard to sell fights in the UK. It's much harder in the US.

———
The US does not have superstar boxers. Look at Crawford, a generational talent who made his biggest paycheck in his late 30’s and is chasing for a money fight with Canelo.
Look at Serena Williams, the GOAT of tennis and has never filled a tennis court unless she’s playing a European superstar.

So, AJ and Fury can do without the US and be just fine.

Year's to late,
Fury Wilder & Aj should have boxed each other twice across they're careers already.
One of them avoided the other 2 & after finally facing a prime powerful heavyweight & going 6-4 in his last 10, is no longer relevant.
I ask all the Aj fans out there, at 34 we're talking about Aj being washed, who's he ever beat that wasn't 38-41 & completely shot with only 6 rounds in them?

Ajs only the 4th best Heavyweight in England now, Moses beats him imo.

They can, there's 30 million people an hour away by train from London that are Eventers.
They don't give a monkeys about the event as long as they'res alcohol, sweet Caroline, a good ig selfie & a good craic.
They sell out arenas for Darts ffs & do exactly the same.

Would this still pack wembly?

The recent Dubois Aj fight wasn't sold out at all until Liam was put on the card & it's being reported official receipts show 87k tickets not 96.
But UK Eventers turn up for anything these day's. So probably.

This fight absolutely should not happen! Its a mismatch at this point, hearn chased this fight for last 4 years and Fury was busy playing diva like games, he fumbled the bag and shouldnt be handed this pay day regardless if he wins or loses vs Usyk, that being said... Hearn will do his best to cash AJ out on Fury. Everyone knows AJ is done now its just about how they all can leach the maximum income out one last AJ beatdown.

Yeah he's a diva sasquatch plank but Fumbled the bag?

Aj prevented the Fury fight twice! Sending back the amended contract demanding commercial control and Aside status. It's written into Ajs sponsors contracts. That's been varified by many reporters why we got Del boy.

Everyone else can see why now, Catch up.

Probably after he officially this time beats the little russian

Fury has to remain mentally focused. Already he is overlooking Oleksandr Usyk. I believe Fury gets stopped this time.

Let him try to walk down Usyk and watch how he gets dropped and stopped. Fury is shopworn at this point of his career.

His body has too much mileage; Wear and tear on it.

Never underestimate what a good fight promotion can do.

Fury v Joshua can be made because it will make money.

I still think Joshua v Wilder will be made. Remember how many thought Tyson would beat Lewis? Get an American taking about killing someone and the Yanks will believe again.

This is when the fights do get made. Lots of money to be gained and not much to lose.

[Nash out]

The fight is bigger than ever. Joshua is at the top of his game under Boxercise Ben, Fury coming off a close win (On Nash's card) over Usyk, as Dubois and Bakole top the pile. It's all to play for. If Wilder comes back, the real Wilder, not the clone of him from 'his' last two fights, things get even more exciting. Nash out - His Excellency

[Phase III]

It would be a travesty if this nonsensical money grab was allowed to happen.
