Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua Won't Be Held For Ransom By Usyk; We Could Vacate All The Belts

[REDEEMER]

If I were Usyk, I would leave matchroom after that sort of statement. Insane.....absolutely insane that a promoter would say that about one of his own fighters

Usyk isn’t Hearns fighter .

Lmfao I guess mandatories are only important when they're Pulev or Povetkin. Suddenly you're gonna hold onto a live grenade and destroy your own division to avoid a challenge

Fury was not available in either situation, more trash posts from you . And besides that the current situation is one that can potentially be for undisputed without a belt being dropped .Joshuas IBF mandatory was due ,Usyks is still not due until May or around ,stay off the drugs . Ha

If anything it definitely shows heavy favouritism under Hearn. If someone is the mandatory, they’ve earned it, especially when unifying the belts from the division below. I can understand British talent signing with matchroom but after this I don’t see why anyone else would do it.

If I was English at this point, I'd probably sign with Warren. He's got the Top Rank deal in the USA which would make fights easier to get. Hearn is just Matchroom/DAZN and half the time he can't even get two of his own fighters to fight each other.

Awful negotiating tactics. I'd prefer joshua-fury much like everyone else, but to throw one of your own fighters under the bus like that is crazy.

Enough of this alphabet soup b******t. It’s amazing how average Joe fans are so invested in sustaining and growing this b******t. Hearn is doing the right thing. He’s flexing his muscles because he knows that AJ and fury are the elite in the sport not Usyk or any other 2nd or 3rd tier mandatory. Do what’s best for boxing and get the elite to fight -with or without a belt. This is a great opportunity to render belts and sanctioning bodies meaningless at the top level of the sport.

Well what else is Usyk supposed to do? He is mandatory and has been working his whole life to be in this position.

.. because Fury will fight him and Wilder won't.

Wilder has never unified, Klitchko signed a deal in the States to get that chance and he never did, Parker, Martin etc etc .. Wilder has never shown any interest in unifying with anyone regardless of promoter or TV network. If by some miracle Wilder got a win over Fury that belt would be back to States fights only against Haymon opposition or business as usual.

Joshua should just fight Usyk while Fury gives Wilder the rematch he agreed to.

The winners can then fight for undisputed with nothing hanging over their heads.

As usual Hearn is making it more complicated than it has to be.

LOL!

"Yeah well I don't have to fight you, what if I decide to f_ck myself in the ass with a 10-inch strap-on instead huh? Yeah, would you like that, huh? I bet you would. I ain't no-one's b_tch muhfugga!"

Haha damn.

That just makes too much sense.
