It might be a very lucrative fight, and some kind of shortcut for Fury (just one fight against the popular opponent instead of searching for two or three B/B+ opponents).
Fury would likely win, but all of the involved would earn "the big money".
What do you think about ?
BTW, I am serious, this is not trolling, definitely.

I actually think that would be pretty fair, although it would be unfair to Wilder, who is much more deserving.

Tony Bellew has already made it crystal clear that he has no intention to fight or even spar with Wilder or Joshua.

Yes, but "big money" might change his mind. He has a wife and three sons......Enlightened-One wrote: ↑06 May 2018, 04:48 Tony Bellew has already made it crystal clear that he has no intention to fight or even spar with Wilder or Joshua.

Tony knows the money involved and yet he has persistently made his intentions crystal clear. He won't fight AJ or Wilder.ValMar wrote: ↑06 May 2018, 07:29Yes, but "big money" might change his mind.

His total career earnings are estimated to be in the region of £15m or $20.5m (when you eventually include the promotional revenue from last night's event).

I suppose the press conference before the fight would be much more interesting thah the fight.Enlightened-One wrote: ↑06 May 2018, 07:36Tony knows the money involved and yet he has persistently made his intentions crystal clear.

Fury isn't going to be fighting anyone of note any time soon. His comeback fight is less than five weeks away and there's still no opponent named.
Bellew may be an ex light heavy but Fury is more likely to be in with De Mori level opposition to start.

Bellew doesn't want to fight Fury or Joshua. He's not a heavyweight and he knows that.
