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

[Corelone]

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.

AJ got run out of the US and isn't coming back. All that people here remember is the guy Andy knocked out and chased across the desert. If it wasn't for Fury, nobody would care at all. AJ can KO all the Bumgarians in Europe, but his US debut was disaster and he's not trying to make it right. It's not the audience fault his show stunk. He's a big fish in a small pond and the locals are still smitten.

What a sad sad state heavyweight boxing is in.....

Hearn, you better get those suits to call of that *** crap that was asked to AJ......The majority of the Black Community dont even like Aj here in America...I will cancel my subscription to DAZN and many more people will too...be smart and stick to The Sweet Science..

[Catch n shoot]

Yeah they should elevate aj to galaxy Champion and he keeps the belt..usyk can be elevated to champion of the solar system and give him a belt with hefty fees to make it FEEL legit.. the WBC would've handled this situation lmao

Arum's point was the fights won't be in America and if Fury wins those fights he could just retire or fight round the world anyway.

The athletic commissions in the US just do what they want for cash. If your fighter has a heart defect or a drug ban you just go to another commission. That's the way its been for decades.

Big Baby will find a commission somewhere that will let him fight. The WBC and commissions have never shown a unified backbone on anything as far as I can tell.

I think this is mute I believe the contract has no legal grounds for this Finkel insisted on that when he made it believing Wilder would win, if the contract does have the right clause honestly I would hope Fury would honor it. Its a simple well-known clause for act of God events got to think from Bobs (a lawyer) confidence they got nothing.

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.

You’re wasting your breath, zealots don’t care about the facts

It's a sad state when the governing bodies are as bad as the promoters and to most degree that's why we have this situation ........What a load of bollocks !!!

[TexasCowBoy]

I read all the comments and the wilderettes dont want to see Fury vs AJ....they are so jealous, the jealousy just oozes out of all their orifices, it is fascinating to see....I hope dazn pays attention..

[Dustin Tanner]

AJ clearly said he wants undisputed he even has a youtube series stating such... So if the fight doesn't happen I blame the promoters because I think the fighters want to fight for the titles and why not it makes the fight even bigger

[Toffee]

Firstly if Hearn was banned from adding all these rematch clauses which have no place in a true sport Ruiz would have fought the mandatory last year & Aj would have been back of the line as it should be.

No.

If there were no rematch clauses then you wouldn't fight any decent voluntaries until it got to Superfights. So Ruiz wouldn't have got the first fight.

You can't rewrite history from a point of your choosing.
