Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua - 2020 OLD thread

[joshj909]

I can't be the only one that thinks this stinks of Warren

[tonyevs]

So now fWank muddies it further by adding Slo-Joe to the mix.

Joshua has nothing to gain fighting Joyce at this time. That's never gonna happen.

What has Frank said?
At least we get Fury or Joyce for AJ. As we know, he will fight anyone, look at his record!!!!!

Haven't heard him mentioned today. Heard Ruiz, Herg etc...
At least AJ will definitely accept Joyce's challenge.

I saw those guys mentioned by John. Tyson’s only mentioned fighting one other fighter apart from AJ and that’s our boy Charr. And he said the fight was on a few days ago. Perhaps he was lying though.

AJ probably won’t accept Joyce’s offer as he seems he’s trying to still make the Fury fight. Seems to be the only fight he’s interested in. Unlike Team Fury.

Let’s see what happens.

Aside from all the rubbish, has AJ been brought before the board following his behaviour after the Usyk fight?

Honestly, give it a rest

If he gets away with it, it sends a terrible message to other fighters.

He looked concussed and it's far from the worst thing any of these guys have done (uncastrated wild boar?). It's also not particularly relevant to this topic.

Your pro-Fury/Queensbury/Warren sentiment and your anti-AJ/Hearn/Matchroom views are just tiring. You've quickly replaced EO in this forum in a way that you probably wouldn't want, which is a shame because you clearly know your boxing.

Tyson Fury's rumoured next opponent Mahmoud Charr was once knocked out through the ropes by cruiserweight Mairis Briedis who now has Jake Paul tattoo

I love this headline

[mickey1975]

Agree. It sends an awful message to young fighters. He should get a 2 year ban (the same as Tyson received for elevated levels of Nandrolone) as throwing a couple of highly respected title belts from reputable sanctioning bodies brings the sport into disrepute.

[coneye]

Mmm , whats worse , a fighter going into meltdown after a gruelling 12 rnd s of getting punched in the head and being concussed ,,, Or a fighter claiming to eat wild boar when tested positive , or the same fighter ,, saying he's giving the purse to charity , then skurking away when said charitys are all paitently waiting for the money

[Frostieballs]

I have no idea if Fury actually wants this fight or not. He is in a weird place at the moment.

But the suggestion that AJ is somehow ducking it is absolutely ludicrous - and ignores the facts.

He has said he wants the fight and, unlike Fury, is happy to let his team and his lawyers do the required work without jumping on Insta every two seconds.

Both men are multi million businesses in themselves and the contractual work involved must be huge.

I’m not AJ’s biggest fan, but he has absolutely no form for ducking anybody. He’s already signed to fight Fury once! He jumped straight back in with Usyk after getting his arse handed to him.

If the offer is fair without tricky clauses AJ will take the fight.

Well said. Joshua’s never ducked a challenge and I for one respected his performance against Ruiz in the immediate rematch.

He’s far from my favourite guy but he’s willing to fight anyone and keep his mouth shut till the fights made.

He released a (terrible) rap video, hardly keeping his mouth shut, is it?

Come on Mickey…. One video saying he wants the fight versus numerous videos calling fighters out, retiring, calling the same fighters out…..

I think Fury is filming a Netflix series so maybe this is all just pantomime for that. Sadly, I don't think it will be as popular as it could have been because it has become increasingly difficult to believe a word he says.

I’ll still watch it but it will be as fake as the majority of these cash in reality shows.

One episode will be him going to Iceland to try and fight Thor. Another will be saying how’s going to takeover the WWE. It’s sad to say but a lot of the casuals will believe it.

Do you think this isn't pre-scripted or at the very least authorised by fWank?

It's a blatant distraction from Fury calling out Joshua and having his bluff called - fWank is pulling out all the stops to enable Fury to save face in all this.

I forgot about the Fury reality program. It makes perfect sense that he'd make all these ludicrous announcements - and makes his call out of Joshua look even more a case of just using his name to sell the TV program.
It's a shame Fury doesn't put so much effort into his time holding the heavyweight world's title belt.

Recent article on Fury singing praises of Jared Anderson:

"You need dedication. You need the ability to leave women alone, leave the drink alone, leave the fame alone. You need to [leave] all that stuff alone for the next ten years if he’s to succeed and be a good champion.”

A case of do as I say not as I do

Must admit I’ve unfollowed nearly all boxers / promoters / pundits on social media now, they all talk absolute contradictory shit and it’s incredibly boring. Much better to just watch fights as they happen and ignore all the nonsense about contracts.

Plus tweets get constantly posted on these threads anyway, so no point following them separately anymore

[maverick23]

Bob also said the Wilder arbitration wasn’t an issue to stop the AJ fight and when it became an issue blamed Eddie for the AJ fight not happening as if the fight had been announced already then the arbitrator would ruled differently.

[Wee Tommy]

Arums not just a horrible cûnt as a promoter he’s is everything wrong as a person as well. A liar, a crook, a snitch and just an all around scumbag. Always has been always will be.

I don’t get why people even listen to him.

[Ruthless-RKO]

So Fury called AJ out.

AJ/Hearn accepted, calling Fury’s bluff..

Not Hearn is the one stalling because the Warren’s/Fury are calling their bluff a bluff..

What next?

Don’t really believe anyone.. promoters, boxers, team members etc.

Only god knows what is actually going on.

Agreed. Whenever I see or hear Arum I am always reminded of his famous evidence in court: "Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth.."

Like most people, I am left with the impression that Fury is being steered away from danger, which means no Uysk, Joshua or Joyce fights.

Joshua agreed the generous terms but has now had the contract for 16 days. The fight is due in 2 months and now Hearn is publicly saying it could take them weeks to sign. Do you not think that someone is stalling?
