Comments Thread For: Joshua: Tyson Fury Came So Close, He Won't Let it Go This Time!

I agree 100%. I truly believes he feels the same way. Which is why he wont budge on the 50/50 and will try to either price himself out the fight or get so much money he wont be mad when he cash out.

Wilder isn't a problem for AJ, Fury would be tough though.

I question how much power Frank really has when it comes to promoting Fury.

Warren has stated in many interviews, he would be happy to make that fight as a co-broadcast with Sky/BT and co-promotion. Whether they could make that happen is another thing. And that’s even assuming Fury has any real contract with BT. But that’s not the problem. I don’t think Warren has any impact on the fight happening or not.

The problem with that fight is the USA side of things. Joshua fights on DAZN, Fury on ESPN. They are entirely different models, so won’t work together. One does PPV, the other doesn’t. So i don’t see how this fight is possible while Fury is contracted to ESPN. And even if AJ doesn’t have a contract with DAZN, i’m not sure Hearn would be keen on letting him go fight on ESPN for the biggest fight in boxing..

The sky/BT part would be ok, their models are basically identical and could work together.

Maybe they can do that, then foreign broadcasters bid for the rights, but that’s not going to happen when one or both are contracted to a broadcaster.

I agree with your take on Warren influence, if Tyson wants it, it'll get made whatever Warren thinks.

Joshua isn't contracted to DAZN like he is with Sky, when Ruiz v Joshua 2 was announced DAZN weren't signed on at that point and had no logo on the poster etc.

From a recent interview Hearn said that the money from Saudi Arabia for an undisputed would be enormous which I could believe.

But yeah end of the day what do you do if you are Joshua and DAZN offer $100m for the fight and ESPN offer $50m? The fairest way would be broadcasters bid for it, but can't see that happening, can't co-promote as DAZN would get all the buys, so Joshua fighting on ESPN would seem the most likely route.

Ducknathy Joshua wants no part of the Wilder bomb 💥 . He can't take a punch which was proven in the first fight which is why he ran like ***** in the rematch.🥊

Ducknathy Joshua?
...You're really reaching there bro.

[theface07]

Joshua is in a lose lose situation regardless of who wins the rematch. They both wash him.

Huh? Whose doing the washing?

If the 'Bronze-Bomber' hit you on the dome like this, you be in a coma.



Tyson Phooey only landed 13 more punches the whole fight against the champ Deontay Wilder. Now let me ask you this, how many knockdowns did Tyson score?


Bruh I just remember how Deontay blew the roof off Staples Center in the final round, I don't know what you were watching.

Yep, like I said a few skiffs to the top off the head and a clear slip. Nice GIF and thanks for cementing my well observed point. Two landed punches in the 12th and that was Windy's lot.

Josh shouldn't condone decisions like that, which he is by sitting on fence. Tell it like it is man, fury was robbed.
Knocking someone down twice when you've been outboxed don't get you draws

He can't fight Wilder because he's running in the opposite direction. The only one trying to get the fight on is AJ.

Yeah he sure does speak up when Wilder has fights scheduled. He is scared of Wilder IMO.. everyone is entitled to their own opinion though.

Speak it into existence AJ!

Gotta humbly disagree. I think Wilder's style is all wrong for AJ so I'm not sure how that fight pans out but I actually am confident AJ beats Fury. It's all about the styles, not trying to be cliche either.

Interesting point of view. I see it as Wilder takes a long time to warm up, Joshua's knockout record is second only to Wilder's.
If it takes Wilder 6 or 7 rounds to get his timing and distance right (as it usually does), he simply won't be there long enough.

People forget how hard AJ punches. Those who have faced both AJ and Wilder have said that they are different but comparable in punching power.
AJ is a lot better than Ortiz who Wilder has struggled with. He wouldn't just get rocked as with Ortiz in those rounds he would be unconscious.

As for Fury, he is just too evasive. I can't see AJ getting to him with a big punch.
