No....hes doing it for money because him and his family have no control over spending. Agreed there is ego but i think AJs recent experiences have humbled him somewhat. He seems much more measured in his responses as opposed to his previous ramblings where he seemed to speak for the sake of using words. Mike Tyson was once rich beyond my dreams but recently had to sell his soul and legacy for 20 million to try to keep himself afloat. Having money and keeping it are 2 different things.

The call out afterwards was funny. Credit to Joshua, he has obviously been practicing for having to go face to face with Fury. Thought he did well until pressed by the interviewer about whether it was 'a yes' or not and he then reverted to 'when I'm ready.'
Fury is ready to commit. Joshua isn't yet. Hopefully this one happens before one of them dies of old age.Comment

Ever since Ruiz finished AJ, AJ is finished as a boxer. He lost to all the real top contenders after that and lastly, it was Dubois that tore his *ss. The guy needed 6 rounds to knock out Paul and now he calls Fury a "cloud chaser" and claims he defines the rules? This is a heavily promoted bum, whose last excuse for not facing Tyson was "a contract in a wrong format".
I can understand both wanting the best moment, each one for himself, some 6-7 years ago, but doing so now... And by the way, AJ never faced Wilder - not when Wilder was at the peak of his devastating one trick, not even now.Comment

I can't imagine Tyson having issues with money tbh. He could have a million kids.

He lives in Moracambe for a start. He could buy his house a million times over. And culturally it isn't a good look for gypsies to waste money.
His Wife is also pretty sensible. I don't know them directly but the feeling is that they are pretty normal from people that do. The netflix bit is obviously a bit for effect.Comment

Joshua is a different man than the one he was before losing his 'left and right' in Nigeria.Ever since Ruiz finished AJ, AJ is finished as a boxer.

He can have all the riches, but is now missing the 2 people he would most liked to have shared the experiences those riches could buy...forever!
As far as Fury goes, AJ holds all the cards and all the clout. He's right in that Fury needs to chase him for it. Clowning, begging and insulting AJ won't get him the fight.
Even Fast Eddie and the Camel Racer have no clout with AJ. I get the feeling AJ is one press release away from stepping away from the game for good.Last edited by RingoKid; 04-11-2026, 06:10 PM.Comment
