Comments Thread For: Joe Joyce: Joshua Too Wary of Shots Coming at Him, I Back Fury To Win

[deathofaclown]

Wilder is the only fighter he hasn’t managed to get over the line with AJ. Fury isn’t yet confirmed but looks likely and Ortiz turned down the offer because he felt wilder would be a better chance to win.

Otherwise ... Eddie managed to make deals with:

Klitschko
Parker
Povetkin
Pulev
Martin
Takam
Ruiz
Ruiz (again)
Etc

But yes - it’s all Eddie and nothing to do with wilder for that fight not happening if you like !

And he basically had options on all those fighters after the fight, except one or two.

I believe the fight happens anyway, but Eddie is the master of saying he sent a contract without actually telling people what clauses are in it, which can be a way of not making a fight with the public image you’re trying to make it. I think Fury is too big of a fighter for that though, Hearn will know it has to down the middle.

For me the real hurdle is going to be broadcasting. Fury has an exclusive ESPN deal. I don’t even see how they can work with DAZN as DAZN doesn’t do standalone PPV. I know AJ is not exclusive to DAZN but Eddie has a stake in DAZN which not many people know about. So is he just going to let his cash cow fight elsewhere? Cant see it.

In the UK they’re also on rival networks but they should be able to work together because their format is basically identical and there should be enough money to satisfy all. But there’s no certainty of that still.

If you judge a fighter off his worst performance (which all fighters have eventually), you will underestimate that fighter. Shouldnt judge Joshua by the Ruiz fight, shouldnt judge Fury by the Wallin or Cunningham fights. Joshua has beaten more current Ring-rated fighters than any fighter, any division - Fury beat up Wilder, but hasn't defended a title. Fury is world class but you can make a case he fights and defeats a style that suits him...then sits on the title and barks. Bottom line is this fight will be HELLA interesting...but neither fighter better underestimate the other, even if their fans do. The fighter that underestimates the opponent is gonna lose the fight. My two cents...

What? His superior Ruiz performance had him even more tenuous.

Fury fought on Dazn in Germany against Wilder . Dazn is not just a U.S thing .


You guys are still theorizing roadblocks ,but the fight is happening, I envision many Fury fans going to be sweating a lot come fight night .

I expect this fight to be announced within the next 7-10 days 'If it is going to happen'.

If it is not announced inside this time frame? Some other issue will appear 'Wilder or Usyk' etc.

It looks like the fight is there to be made, the contract has been sent as of today.

Dont forget Whyte.... he failed to make a deal with 2 of his own fighters against Whyte.... lol Thats how crooked he is... ripping off even his own fight team.

Deal was so bad Whyte ran from his shot at 4 world titles and a biggest pay day ever.
Deal was so ridulous that Whyte didnt even bother negotiating further.
Let that sink in...
