Tyson fury is challenging Anthony Joshua on british TV

[champion4ever]

Since when has AJ been slow?

He has been slower than Tyson Fury since he began his professional career.

[BoxingIsGreat]

Since always?

Everytime I see Joshua fight, I'm reminded of a mummy. Both he and Wilder have zero real boxing skills. They specialize in the one-two.

[REDEEMER]

Hearn should freeze Wilder out and do the 50% . Fury makes peanuts, 8 million for a Wilder fight...he would make about 50 with Joshua.

Leave Wilder out and he could fight Breazeale and make 2 million while sweating bullets in fear of a huge upset loss against the hardest puncher he will face in Breazeale who could shatter Wilders glass .

He has been slower than Tyson Fury since he began his professional career.

I doubt that he's got faster hands, he'd have more knockouts if that was true as he has more weight to put with speed to generate more power.

[Pigeons]

That's no surprise. Fury seemed overjoyed at the thought of that payday during the interview with Jim Gray, that's why he wouldn't even entertain the word 'rematch'.


It makes more sense for Fury financially. He's earned himself an even split now too.

[Duckweather]

Wow. 3 way negotiations. This is going to be crazy, 1 fighter gonna be left out in the cold.

Could argue this makes it look like he's paid someone for it to unfold like that and get away with it, definitely works in his favour if he was using PED's.

Much bigger names have pissed hot than fury, and they didn’t get special treatment. If WADA is caught taking money, they’re ruined and they do testing for the Olympics. and Fury wasn’t considered a name or a draw until...well, Saturday night haha.

I can at least see the argument for someone like Joshua, Canelo, Mayweather, Pac...but Tyson Fury is...Tyson Fury. Someone who until Saturday people said was boring and couldn’t box.

This is the fight i want to see now to be honest. Fury deserves a chance to claim all his belts back. Massive world class fight between the number 1 and 2 at HW, domestic grudge fight. What more do you want.

[TwiceonaSunday]

Joshua vs Fury brings the country ( England ) to a standstill.

I get the impression that Hearn will genuinely push for the Wilder fight in April now. The Fury vs Wilder fight has taken some of the perceived Wilder mystique away. As previously mentioned Usyk vs Fury would be a real curve ball.

Be very interesting to see how all this finally plays itself out in the HW division come this time next year.
