Comments Thread For: Joshua: I Thought Fury Beat Wilder, Fury is Huge Fight For Me

[sportbuddha]

this is exactly what people wanted him to say but watch them twist his words now

It’s pretty much the same for every Hearn or AJ interview, they both say common sense, unsensational, generally reasonable things and then it gets spun as insults, cowardice, lies or fraud.

The fact is the US boxing big wigs (Arum, Finkel, Di Bella etc) cannot allow Hearn space in their market now he has DAZN backing him, so under the puppetry of Haymon they are on massive drive to ruin both their reputations and freeze them out.

They might succeed, Fury 2 is a huge gamble though. If Fury wins, they will not see the HW titles state side in a very very long time, but they are betting that if Fury does win he will have some loyalty and be effectively their second man.

They forget he’s a canny traveller with zero loyalty who won’t give two hoots and will simply fight where the biggest and easiest pay days are, that’s in the UK against AJ, Whyte etc

Well you should of fought Fury when he called you out in for his first comeback fight or made a deal to secure that fight because you did steal not win those belts anyways plus you had the chance to fight Wilder as well

I'm a believer in the 'follow the money' concept, so (1) Joshua stays no.1 for as long as the bookies say he is, no matter what others say, and (2) Joshua/Fury happens, just because the money is there and both are sensible enough to know it, no matter what garbage comes out of their mouths (and Hearn's) in the meantime.

What so everyone could say he was cherry picking? People complained about Parker and povetkin what would they have said about a an opponent who was pretty much battling obesity for the past two years. At least when they fight now there can be no excuses.

Joshua contradicting himself here. Didn’t he claim “You have to go and take the belt from the champ?” last month?

If Fury wins Wilder/Fury II then there will be Wilder/Fury III

and no, there isn't a conspiracy, all of the promoters in the USA aren't trying to sabotage poor Eddie. Fighters aren't not signing with DAZN due to conspiracy.
