Comments Thread For: Hearn: Fury-Joshua Is A Fight That Eclipses All Belts

[DougalDylan]

it eclipses all promoters too eddie, hint hint

.. didn't Eddie drop out of the DAZN talks to make the fight but it still didn't work with no Hearn because Shelly was still involved blocked it and stabbed Lou in the back.

Shelley is the problem always has been the day he drops you get Wilder vs AJ. MAster Finkel no want that fight.

I’m just excited it’s coming. Hearns and Arum feel like they can get it done. Great time to be a boxing fan.

Domestic level superfight at best. If all the belts aren't on the line, really no reason for anyone who's not British to care about this fight at all.

Ok so your putting you're faith in the WBC to do the honourable thing, new to boxing?

It won't be up to them. If Wilder were to win Arbitration, then no athletic commission in the US would license a Fury fight unless he fights Wilder. The WBC will also be binded by that order, not only will they follow the outcome of the Arbitration, but they would not risk their standing with the commissions. If Arbitration favors Wilder, then that means he has a right to fight for the title next, which effectively makes him the mandatory. This is the reason why Hearn continues to bring up Wilder and the Arbitration, its a legitimate impediment to the Fury/AJ fight.

Why don't this clown make the fight already and stop all this yapping. I get he's salivating at the prospect of the huge sums he and Arum are going to pocket. Just save the speech for when the fight is ready to be announced. AJ doesn't seem too excited when asked about it post fight. Perhaps he's finally realizing how much he's giving away in promoter's cut for something he and his management team could do on their own. He is big enough at this point to ride out on his own.

Joshua should honor the WBO mando with Usyk. And Tyson Fury should honor the rematch he owes crybaby Wilder.

The winners then fight for all the marbles. It's simple.

Perfect example of why US sports is the way it is. All you care about is the hype and being able to brag that your guy or team won etc. This fight does not need the belts and having all the belts is only a marketing gimmick. Look at how ESPN tried to spin Teo being the only person in his weight class to be undisputed and being the champ of all the major organizations.

Where all the belts on the line then? No and yet it was still a success. When Floyd fought were all the belts on the line?

At this point Hearn is just teasing us. I don’t see Usyk accepting any step aside money. He’s made it clear that he wants AJ next.

Simple and no good reason why that shouldn't be what happens.

Exactly.

People are acting as if 'Joshua & Fury are above the titles'.

Neither fighter has reached that level of status, the last heavyweight fighter to reach that level was 'Mike Tyson'.
