    If you haven't been paying attention, Fury and Wilder are fighting next month and this is about what comes after that. That is to say, who is waiting their turn for a crack. The crux of the matter, is that Fury and Wilder want to keep fighting without the person waiting for his turn to have a crack.

    Whether Joshua has talked to Team Wilder or not -- and Warren's claim that he spoke to Finkel and he denied it really means very little -- it's a smart move to claim he has. Suddenly Warren is talking about trying to make Fury vs Joshua in the near future.

      Frank Warren is a muppet. Joshua didn't say he'd had meetings with Wilders team, he said he'd had meetings about the offer they were going to propose.

      The talks were with the interested parties (Saudi Arabia etc) to try to sort out the size of the purse available.

      Now all the Yanks will go crazy calling AJ a liar because they don't like facts to get in the way of prejudice.

        Its a misunderstanding, AJ's team said they had had meetings about the fight.
        Those meetings were with Saudi money men (and others) to try and get a massive payout set up. They haven't said they spoke to "Shirley" at all.

          He has the best record for fighting top 10 heavyweights and has fought the fighters Wilder avoided.

          The four belt champion is still the biggest name in boxing right now.

            I'm sure AJ meant that his team have had meetings. Not that he has held meetings with Wilder's handlers. Frank Warren will never change.

              Exactly. AJ's quotes shouldn't have been interpreted any other way as what he was saying what clear as day. Frank just can't help himself.

Fury will challenge Wilder on February 22 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. They fought to a controversial draw in December 2018.

                Jesus, Frank; you are a muppet.

                He doesn't know if its true so he reaches out to Shelly to ask. If Shelly was to say; 'Yes, it's true', I would be questioning whether Wilder would try and wriggle out of the rematch (As Joshua suggested) if he beats Fury. Shelly wants to keep the commercial relationship strong, not raise questions right before the fight!

                Then to say 'I would like to see Tyson in with Joshua straight away after Feb. 22", is a slap in Shelly's face.

                What a tit.

                  The same guy has by far the best resume. He has beaten Klitschko, Whyte, Parker, Ruiz, Povetkin to name a few. They are all at least top10 fighters.

                  He holds the belts , the cash and the best resume. So of course he isn’t irrelevant, he has the most people wanting to watch him for one (with possibly only exception Canelo in certain areas of the world)
                  except for resume, everything you said, unconfirmed purse information, cash etc is irrelevant concerning to topic of who’s the best heavyweight. Whyte and Parker are trash and are perfect examples of how easy it is to get into the top 10 in this weak era. Ruiz was a fringe contender before he beat AJ. AJs resume is overrated and it doesn’t support him being #1 especially after the Ruiz debacle.

                    having 4 belts (really 3) doesn’t mean you’re the best especially when AJ beat two bums to get two of the belts. AJ is not the best when there are two undefeated elite heavyweights in the division. You AJ fans want the world to believe AJs #1 but he’s really #3 behind Fury and wilder. But hey look on the right side AJ will move to the #2 when wilder knocks fury tf out

                      Ethe original point was around relevance , and all of those points are factors.

                      Even so, the best heavyweight factor - if his resume is overrated then god help wilder and fury with what people should think of them and their cv’s
