Comments Thread For: Barry Hearn: Joshua-Fury Has 95% of Taking Place in 2021

[MulaKO]

Again, totally get that but for some reason I don't think Joshua would get away with doing the same thing. (Joshua record severely underrated no matter how poor the division is)

I’m talking about Fury walking away

As long as your son doesn't block it bazza with unsignable options.

How do you figure
Personally , I think if Fury were to fight AJ and defeat him , i think Fury would retire right there
Why not ?
He fought the the two big names in his division and now is unified , with no losses on his record
Wilder would then be left holding his tail

I think exactly the same. Fury wants to beat Wilder & Aj then retire happy in what he's achieved.
My fear is Hearn won't allow that so no fight.
I hope Fury does it. Then watch Aj & Wilder avoid each other scurrying for the easy belts, Fury's belts all over again.

If Bob and Fury plan to stall AJ fight until 2021, then Hearn should force Fury to fight Whyte instead of AJ. Fury's got only 2 fights left, he'll retire after.

Nobody's stalling anything here. When/how do you expect the fight to happen?

No boxing for the foreseeable near future due to COVID-19. COVID-19 cases are still increasing, not subsiding. There ain't going to be any vaccine available this year. So, the entire future of boxing (and other spectator sports) is uncertain.

Once boxing resumes, Fury HAS to fight Wilder and cannot back out. Joshua HAS to fight Pulev and cannot back out or else lose that title. May be AJ vs Usyk can be delayed depending on Usyk vs Chisora fight's outcome or since both are promoted by Eddie. By February, Dillian will be demanding his chance at the title.

The suggestion of studio fights is open to debate. Do studio fights earn the required money to have those bouts? Do they even get permission to fight? What happens once you start opening up the economy and ease lockdowns...a new wave of even more cases?

What are the chances of Fury realistically fighting Wilder, then Joshua and then Whyte before February? Why would either of Wilder or Whyte agree to step aside so Fury and Joshua can make money while they are mere spectators?

We will finally get an undisputed fight. No more “he said, she said”, no more signing up to multiple fights to avoid it, no more calling a guy out as the other guy announces a contract has been signed for another opponent, no more Wilder!

Bring on that all British, all belts, history breaking heavyweight clash!

What if Wilder clips Fury and wins?

Fury will walk away, and then return in 10 years to defeat the new king of the division, whoever that might be.

Then it probably won’t happen. Wilder has had ample opportunity to make the fight but his masters advised him against it. Spaghetti legs does as he’s told like a good boy.

I just remember everyone telling me I'm crazy taking AJ in their rematch. Fury is the best but I just don't know which one shows up??? I mean he looked like dog sht in that Wallin fight. All it takes is one lapse of judgment and Fury could be in serious trouble. Wilder isn't as bad as everyone is making him out to be. Just like I knew Ruiz wasn't that great

Just watching Wilder's 'footwork' in the clip you have.
He's astonishingly bad.
