So what happened to Tyson Fury ducking the rematch and Bob Arum preventing it?

[DuckAdonis]

There was this narrative going around here from Wilder fans of supposedly Tyson Fury ducking the Wilder rematch by signing with Bob Arum. Well now that the rematch has been signed that narrative goes out the window doesn't it?

All this BS of Fury being afraid to get hit again by the power of Wilder and all that. I must admit it surprised me as well. But I always thought Fury was just doing the logical thing chasing the big money deal. I knew he would never duck Wilder. Very curious how this whole thing will work out.
I'm guessing a co-promotional deal. That promises big things for the future. Al and Bob working together for big fights. Spence Vs Crawford anyone?! Let's hope for a better relationship between the two so fights can be made.


War Gypo! All you guys accusing him of ducking should apologize in this thread btw. Curt Henning get your ass in here! (Somebody tag his @ss)

Nobody wants to go in to a joshua fight with an unfair advantage (not being allowed to take PEDS) so fighters won't fight him unless they are bum looking for pay or an old man on the way out.

Well he didn't go ahead with an ordered fight where he was getting 50% of the purse.

Call it ducking, marination, whatever. It happened.

None of them are scared to fight each other. They all think they can win.

It's business. By the same token they are ducking or marinating the AJ fight. Don't listen to their patter - it's the big one, so it marinates longer.

Where is Big Dunn who was calling Fuey the biggest coward in boxing right now. This guy... never stop to amaze me

Bro he just took big money from ESPN and he is fighting Wilder next year! Excellent strategy. No dodgy scorecards from PBC on a co-promotional fight.
