Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua: The Ball is in Tyson Fury's Court - I'm Ready!

You are a scared fraud, you want to fight a guy who’s been out instead of fighting a guy who’s been active and is ready to knock you out, you don’t see the real champ calling out Fury, he is calling you out chump, this is one of the most ridiculous champs we’ve had in years, a scared chump

Every boxing fan should care. Boxing is a business, money is a major factor in which fights do or don't get made. If you have no interest don't discuss it and claim people are ducking because of it.

Money is the only factor that determines what fights get made

Blame the UK public for that, they are used to being sheep after centuries of living as peasants under monarchical rule. They listen when King Eddy speaks and obey

"Why do you care about money" when discussing a sport that is all about money. Really fcking ******.

Haye is a bigger draw than Wilder, I doubt he would ask for anywhere close to 50% either.

Every sport is all about money, athletes don't play for free. Boxing is the only sport that some fans try to justify money not allowing a fight to be made, and then actually try to rationalize it, which is what you're doing. If money is holding up a fight, then yes, as fans some will discuss how it sucks, who they think is worth more, what they think the market dictates, yada yada, but the difference is, real fans of boxing understand that the FIGHT is bigger than the money. The FIGHT is more important to the sport, and the FIGHT is more important to a boxing fan. If you agree with Hearn's decision to not allow the fight because he feels AJ is worth more than Wilder, then you're not a fan of boxing, you are a fan of AJ.

The funniest thing about arguments between AJ fans and Wilder fans is - Wilder fans attack AJ as a person, AJ fans defend his wallet - AJ fans attack Wilders wallet, Wilder fans defend Wilder. Hopefully this post made a dent in your ignorance, but it probably won't.

Joshua is helpless of you don't stand directly in front of him.

Takam's ****ty movement left him bamboozled.

That is AJ biggest problem, and the reason why i think Parker has a biggger than better chance of beating him.

That fight would only happen due to money, so it doesnt matter what the fans or sport want. If Wilder sticks on 50-50 then that fight doesnt happen, If Joshua sticks to 80-20 then obviously the fight doesnt happen.

So its ok for fans to understand both sides of the argument without being called "accountants". or "Not wanting the fight" etc

At the end of the day it takes two to tango, and from what i can see right now both sides are to blame if that fight doesn't happen over the next few fights.

Pretty much this. So any fan on this sport pretending not to care or understand this aspect of the sport is just ignorant. You might not agree with it or how the market decides because we all just want to see the best fights, but when one side over value their worth then how is the fight going to get made?

Where does he say he wants to fight Fury next? He’s just not making any negative comments about a potential fight.

To save you the benefit of reading the article, which you clearly haven’t, he says himself Fury should focus on getting himself ready first and have a couple fights.

But he also doesn’t want to come across as avoiding him, hence he states he’s ready whenever.

I think that’s fair considering how much Fury has been talking about AJ.

The funny thing is, he’s said pretty much exactly the same thing about Wilder recently. Could happen next, he’s ready, but other fights might happen in between.

So if he says it about Fury= he wants to fight him next and he’s ducking Wilder.

If he says it about Wilder= he’s doesn’t want the fight and he’s ducking Wilder.

This ‘AJ ducking Wilder’ **** is getting really tiresome! Seriously AJ can’t do or say anything without someone interpreting it as ducking Wilder.

“AJ went grocery shopping? He should have been calling out Wilder! What a fraud champ?”

It’s the only thing you Wilder fans can say to keep him in the conversation.

Thing is, Wilder has ducked AJ twice already. Once by not accepting the Whyte fight and once by overvaluing his worth in negotiations. Doesn’t sound like he really wants it. Like you all keep saying, if he really wants the fight who cares about the money?

The Fury that beat Vlad would box the ears off Joshua.

Joshua would (i'm sure) be humble in defeat.

You guys need to watch a 34 minute interview on 'IFL TV', skip to around the 19 minute mark it gets very VERY interesting. The build up to Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury will be EPIC and I can see Fury BREAKING AJ before the fight actually happens. Yes, Hearn and Joshua are ****houses.
The fake humble robot clapping smile he did on SPOTY was funny when they announced 50/1 Mo Farah as the winner. Joshua took a MAJOR L right at the end of the year lol.

Here you go for the latest Tyson Fury interview - listen very carefully.
