Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn: We Need Full Crowd Capacity in the UK For Joshua-Fury

[Butt stuff]

Also I noticed that when a boxer is hugely overmatched, without a crowd it just feels like a sanctioned assault. Very uncomfortable to watch a guy getting badly beat up in almost silence.

This fight ain’t happening in England, Scotland, Wales, Ulster, Cornwall, the Isle of Man or anywhere else in the United Kingdom. Nor will the rematch. All big matchroom fights will take place in Saudi Arabia or some other location in the Arab lands. Edward has been bought for 30 pieces of silver...

First off, who the hell wrote or edited this article? It states the AJ/Ruiz rematch took place in Dubai hahaha what the hell BS, is this the standard of your so called journalism?

Second, I watched Eddie's most recent interview on Sky, he does not state that the fight can not happen in the UK without full capacity but it does mean both guys will take a hit. He does however state top priority is UK.

In terms of Usyk, he has stated in that interview and others they wil give the WB an opportunity to be part of the biggest heavyweight fight. No talk of wanting or needing to fight Usyk next.

The other question is regarding Fury v Wilder 3...that case is now in the courts and no side would be smart to sign a contract as long as that stays that way. Eddie then quotes Arum as saying its not a problem but everything in court is a problem.

Which interview was this **** show of a journalist quoting, cos BS certainly didn't interview Hearn any time soon.

Put in on in Saudi Arabia, Tokyo, Sydney - wherever! - just get it done!

everyone realises that it should be in the UK - but it can't be here for the time being. So deal with it.

Than Wilder/furry 3 and AJ/Usyk

[VashDBasher]

That can’t happen any time soon. Fury and AJ are better off making a mandatory defense in the meantime.

The #2 heavyweight Aj couldn't get was some one called Wilder who has only beaten one top 10 heavyweight and fought two according to teh Ring magazine a record worse than Dylan Whyte who he also refused to fight (4 opponents 2 wins)

Wilder kidnapped the belt stealing from American fans of their hard earned cash for 10 odd defenses refusing to leave the States or fight anyone not a paid for Haymon/King fighter and refusing to unify against so many champions from so many promoters.
How did this guy call himself a world champion. This is a guy who even ducked Chisora! left him at the press conference with Frank.

Let the two great champions Fury and AJ fight they've earned winner get all the marbles who cares who wins as long as it's a great fight and spectacle.

I've been saying this throughout covid life.
It's Aj vs Usyk next without a massive site fee.
Any excuse to protect his cash cow & take the path of least resistance.
Aj has never boxed a top 2 heavyweight & alway's uses his trinkets & money to avoid the best & box pensioner's in oldmandatories. Giving no respect to the sport or the fans.

Simon Legree defended his decision by pointing out that his only job as a Louisiana plantation owner is to make the most money; to do so otherwise would be a dereliction of duty.
