[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Barry Hearn, promoter for IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, believes a unification with WBC champion Tyson Fury can certainly be next - based on the current situation. Boxing is currently on the shelf for the most part, as the coronavirus pandemic continues to play out.

More chance of hitting the Sun with a snowball...

I love how it's titled Barry and not Barry Hearn.

I just thought of extras.

How can you guarantee both Wilder and Pulev the next fight?

There's bound to be a rematch clause in the undisputed contract (too much money at stake) so you can't make any guarantees to either for the next fight.

And where does that leave the insufferable Whyte? Probably needing snookers!

Barry who?

Barry you greedy sod! Stop telling the fight fans what we wanna see. All you and your son care about is who makes the most money out of our pockets smdh!
Getting soooo bored of listening to these leech promoters sucking the blood money out of our sport.
How the hell can you guarantee both Wilder and Pulev a shot at the belts next?
Get lost with AJ to Dubai or Saudi and go get all the oil money your bank accounts need to create your “legacy”.
Since all your kind care about is cash, consider this then.....
Wilder, Fury et al don’t need AJ....AJ needs them and the purse split needs to reflect that, I’d say a 85-15% split in the Gypsy Kings favour. After all Fury is known worldwide for being the undefeated champ of the planet. AJ best known for getting known for eating big right hands and getting KTFO by Ruiz.

I think every true fan of boxing alive would support fury Joshua happening next, however then that pushes back usyk as well while the wba mandatory also gets in line behind Dillian whyte . That would make the traffic jam even worse . If that's the route they are gonna take they may as well just drop some belts now and make the fights the fans wanna see because I doubt the belts stay together too long either way with this heavyweight traffic jam .

Are you seriously trying to debate that the fans don't want to see Fury vs AJ?

Embarrassing to even suggest it. Clearly the fight everyone wants and the fight that should be next in boxing terms.

No one wants Fury vs Wilder 3 or AJ vs Pulev right now.

[Bunch Pag]

Only makes sense if both hold the belts...

Other than that I couldn't give a monkeys about the fight.

You don't want Bazza to tell you what fights you want to see. Fair enough but don't you want to see the undisputed fight? I know I do.

However I do agree the logistics of making it so everybody is happy while being fair to everybody would be a total nightmare.
