Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury Embraces His New Stablemate Josh Taylor

Nobody tampered with anything. Taylor wanted to walk away due to a breach of contract and signed with MTK who then got him signed with Top Rank.

Sure, sure.

And Top Rank wasn't whispering to them behind the scenes I bet.

That happens all the time in boxing, it's not exclusive to Top Rank. How do you know Haymon wasn't also whispering in his ear? After all, he is the guy who had to pay millions to Golden Boy after he took several of their fighters and paid millions to Top Rank after he signed Chavez Jr. How do you know Golden Boy wasn't whispering in his ear since they had a history of trying to poach fighters also.

Because Top Rank loves to have in-house fights and they benefit directly from stealing Josh Taylor and having him unify with Jose Ramirez.

Every promoter loves in house fights. Every promoter benefits from signing elite fighters. It's only bad when Top Rank "steals fighters". Josh is a free man and ended his contract with Cyclone of his own volition. Fighters aren't property to be stolen.

Has Josh decided if he is going to file for a extension to avoid the dangerous IBF mandatory, Thailand's Apinun Khongsong? Or will he go with plan B and vacate?

Watch the #1. American unified jr. welterweight champion Jose Ramirez, show the 'Tart-Tomato' how its done vs. Viktor Postol -- without the help of Ian John Lewis.

Jose Ramirez will be thrilled to know you'll be backing him vs Hank. I've lost count how many kisses of death you've put on fighters and I'm pretty sure you'll jinx Jose as well.
Hank said two days ago that he's going ahead with the Thai guy. He wants to be undisputed champ.
