Tyson Fury signing with Matchroom?

[Eff Pandas]

This is the rumor all over twitter today.

And Kubrat Pulev as the potential first opponent.

Thoughts on how legit this is? Good move, bad move if true?

[Randall Cunning]

Not sure about all this, suppose its plausible, where the Joshua fight is. Think Kubrat Pulev liked something on one of the platforms, kicked off that rumour. Hearn is in LA at the moment, so if it is true doubt we'll hear anything til next week

[BigZ44]

Been saying for a few days now that reading the tea leaves it appeared things might be heading this direction. Don't think Pulev is smart for a come back fight though, not having seen Fury in years, I'd pick Pulev to beat him

What about Hearn announcing the International Fights Sky will be showing, saying the Jack/Stevenson fight will be on Sky, but no mention of Thurman's fight being shown, like he has some secret info. Lets get this rumour rolling.

I doubt it but you never know.

The Thurman fight is garbage, why would Hearn buy the rights to it?

Oooooh. Thurman would be a nice pickup & I've never really thought about him being the "US name" thats was being teased last week. Guys in real fights are unlikely to be the guy, but a guy in a bs fight like Thurman seems to have planned to test out his shoulder or w/e seems more likely.

Isnt it part of the same broadcast as Jack/Stevenson? Maybe the hold up in his opponents announcement is something else is going on, maybe he feels slighted by the Spence attention, maybe Hearn has a big American signing hes supposedly going to announce.

He just made a deal for Khan's garbage fight + a 2nd one from the sounds of it. Thurman has much bigger fights in his future than some Brook cashout & could end up being the man at 147 for awhile if he gets by Spence.

Hearn is probably playing with house money now, I mean he's always been doing that with his daddy's company you could argue, but you know what I saying. He's got that sexy money Joshua has been getting stacked up for anyone connected to him these days so I'm sure there is money trying to burn a hole in his pocket.

Why do you doubt it?

Seems ideal to do something with the Joshua fight looming if Fury can notch a couple wins.

The UK promoters working together doesn't seem as problematic as US promoters working together, but its always easier to make a fight when someone is under the same umbrella all the same.
