The fight will only happen when both boxers have no other options on the table. I suspect when both have had a defeat and interest is waining.

It’s been removed now from his story.
Yes, I know it’s serious money, but I’m convinced Fury wants to find a way of delaying this. He just doesn’t sound 100% confident when he talks AJ. I think he would love the Saudis to turn around and say no money in escrow/cause offence to them, to give him an escape route.
Really?
He doesn’t help himself when they’re seemingly trying to close a deal with some high profile Muslims for a fight in a Muslim country to come out and pledge support for Israel.

Whether he runs his own page or not doing something like isn’t going to help in getting the deal done.

I don’t think he’s worried or scared in anyway but it seems like team AJ are doing all they can to make it happen whilst team Fury aren’t.

Has he said this?
Has certain marketing stuff done by others but most of it is him videoing himself. Noticed he always deletes all his photos.

I saw a few pictures on Twitter of Tyson getting oiled up by some random lady in Miami - I wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of Paris!

Sounds like something Joshua would do tbh

It sounds like something only an absolute idiot would write on so many levels that I shouldn't have to go into.

If you pray, pray for innocent Israelis and Palestinians alike.
He's released a pretty strong message that he's been hacked.

Those photos were weird. Fury didn’t look out of shape for him but had these huge haunches and hips on him. Also swanning around all the time in flashy Versace clothes and dark glasses. Not sure what to think of it all.

Yeah - it’s a bit strange but that’s Tyson. Who’s have thought he’d go from Sefer Seferi to Wilder in 6 months.

Still don’t get why he’d run the risk of pissing Paris off though - happy wife, happy life.

I'm done with Fury and I've been a supporter a long time. I don't believe the "I was hacked" line. It's what they all say when they drop a clanger. If you post something in the morning and can't stand by it in the afternoon, you are soft and have no credibility in my eyes.

Not really. But I don't believe he runs his social media. There's no way he would be that grammatically correct.

He also won't have the slightest clue what's going on out there. Like O'Hara Davies, had no idea how many people he upset when talking about Hillsborough. Then admitted he didn't even know what happened at Hillsborough.

He didn’t even mention Hillsborough. Properly thrown under the bus by Eddie on that one.

Hacking is the 2021 pandemic. It is entirely possible that he was in reality hacked, although it is more likely that whoever posted it made an ignorant mistake.

The resolution for the Fury-Wilder arbitration hearing is expected on Monday. What are the odds that Fury's holding signing the contract up because of this?

FW does an interview with Talksport a couple of days ago and it says about the date being August 14th and it gets barely any attention.

Eddie says the same thing and they’re looking to make a stadium and it’s the main banner story on Sky Sports, getting loads of traction on social and other sports sites.

Its weird how the media jump on one but not the other.

Are the Saudis actually capable of hosting an event using their existing facilities? Or do they just enjoy building a new stadium every time?
