Comments Thread For: Arum Very Eager To Stage Fury vs. Joshua-Pulev Winner in 2020

[Fire4231]

Great scrap but if Whyte is such a top fighter and mandatory, why is Eddie pushing AJ past him?

What is weird is Whyte wasn’t even a mandatory at the time and Hearn said Wilder had to fight Whyte to get to AJ?

Now Fury has the belts and Whyte the mandatory gets pushed aside for AJ? If Whyte is so damn great why not have him fight Fury?

Probably because we all know he will not win. But even if he loses it just makes AJ vs Fury bigger? The U.K. gets two massive scraps for the unified title? Or you get an all Matchroom unification between AJ and Whyte? What am I missing?

EASILY does over a millie

[ShoulderRoll]

it sucks because we have 2 clear finalists.

For whatever reason there will be a third semi final btw Wilder and Fury...

For whatever reason? No.

It's because both Fury and Wilder agreed to a rematch clause and both signed the contract.

Joshua is the unified champion , Bob .

That’s all I want to hear, keeping them to their words. Both Arum and Hearn, not hiding behind silence, this is why I always pray Fury wins. Because I know he would placed in an undisputed fight (Win and then retire).

This all sounds good but I want to see Usyk get in the mix! I hope Chisora doesn't burst my bubble!

It's Usyk next. Why would DAZN not want to double dip? Plus AJ will want his belt back the lost for fighting the IBF Mando

Both Hearn and Arum know it is not happening anytime soon but neither wants to say it to appear as if he is trying to avoid it. Hearn is saying it to appear relevant and in the mix. After all, he doesn't have great fights for AJ in 2020. Arum knows that is not happening and neither will he make any extra effort to make it happen. He will milk Fury as much as he can and for as long as he can. It is probably Wilder, a bum, Whyte, bum, bum, then maybe AJ in 2022 if Fury is still boxing at that time. Otherwise, make Fury-AJ he last fight for Fury before retiring.

Haha. I think you summed it up. Same thing if Wilder wins.

[CaptainWalrus]

No, no, no! It needs to marinate. 2022 at earliest.

Arum clearly fancies Pulev to upset AJ.

Pulev is old and shot with no power, but I could see him wobbling AJ with his nice jab. I'm just not sure if he's fresh enough to finish the job.

AJ by split decision.

I think the boxing world would collapse entirely if Pulev was to EVER beat AJ. I think AJ KO's Pulev in 7!
