AJ really doesn’t want to call out Fury - Post Fight Interview

[The plunger man]

Joshua will knock out fury .......that right hand sends love handles out for the count

[removed]

Used Furys name constantly during the build up to sell ppvs then refused to mention his name after the fight.

Quack Quack.

Sounded more like he wanted a fight sooner than Eddie wanted for him so maybe they do that Usyk fight next to avoid being stripped of the WBO title. That gives Fury a chance to get the rust off which likely is to his benefit. I ain't mad at AJ vs Fury happening in mid 2021 with a another fight in between for both.

That said I still feel like Usyk could fook things up. Usyk has been having trouble with the size of HW's doe so who knows how much success he can put together vs AJ.

I don't think any of this mentioning mfers name stuff matters at all. I legit think AJ knows he won life already. If he gets KO'd the rest of his boxing career it don't matter cuz there are things bigger than boxing & as there should be. So I doubt he's trying to avoid anyone at this stage & why should he? He's usually KO'd everyone he fought & when he lost he avenged that L. What can Fury or anyone else do to the man? Sh^t I like Fury to beat AJ, but idk that Fury can embarrass him like Ruiz already did.

BS. This is AJ's night. Fury was invited but couldn't be bothered to turn up. So why should aj now give him a seconds thought?

Did Fury comment on why he didn't accept that invite? Would seem to be right up Fury's alley to hype things up at an event like this one.

Is there some weird DAZN vs ESPN angle to making this fight maybe? Bob wants the fight in the US or something?

But yea it could be that AJ's lack of hyping a fight between them was a getback at Fury not showing up. Idk doe & idk that I care. It seems a virtual lock these two will fight in 2021.

[DaNeutral.]

Scared to say Furys name? He mentioned Fury. As did Hearn when he said they were going to start trying to make that fight straight away.

You haters really have no shame.

Fury wasn’t going to turn up simply because they asked him to.

Fury isn’t going to act like the guest. As he said, AJ never turned up to his fights either.

It’s basically Fury doing things on his own terms. Not going somewhere when Hearn asks.

[Zaroku]

Fury is legit one tough Irish fighter.,,

I think he can take out Joshua!

Thats fair. I wasn't taking a hard stance I just seen the upside to it, but then again if no contract is signed then I'm just helping you sell your event for free by coming.

Yeah exactly

we kind of know the way Fury works, the way he got into Klitschko’s head was basically not doing the whole corporate routine and following Wlad’s orders and acting like the opponent. so there is no way he was going to turn up because Eddie asked him.

Also he actually couldn’t anyway even if he wanted to, unless he was willing to be in the bubble all week. Fury lives in an area with tier 3 covid restrictions. They’re not even allowed to go to the event. The tickets also weren’t available to anyone living in a tier 3 area.

It's all about gaining leverage during negotiations. Whoever calls out the other kind of shows that he needs the other person more, so the one who got called out gains leverage during negotiations. It's been that way for years unfortunately. That's why top fighters don't call out other fighters like we would expect

This.

AJ learned from calling Wilder out for years and getting ducked whilst being made to look like he was the one doing the ducking.

If Fury wants the fight it will happen.

If Fury doesn't want the fight then it will be AJ v Usyk which will be a bigger fight than Fury v Wilder III and AJ would become the clear A side. Top Rank will not let Fury fight Wallun or Schwarz anymore, he must take risks if he doesn't land the AJ fight.
