With Tyson Fury sounding more and more likely he will relinquish his titles before being stripped of them, if that is the outcome, the titles should be vacant in a matter of days.

I guess, boxing being boxing, there is no guarantee Parker and Ruiz will be sanctioned for the vacant WBO title. But it is a very possible outcome.

Thankfully we should know the outcome of this heavyweight merry-go-round very soon.

Doubt its going to happen , and if it does i believe its already been made and there stringing the public along to make a masssive statement ,, But relisticly there not ameteruish enough to take a big fight like this without a good preperation ,,, Then Again

My prediction is Wlad v Aj and Haye v Whyte the same bill. Hope I'm right

Will that be the 1st £100 charge ppv if so?

Is this a prediction or this is what you want to happen?

Haye fighting on the undercard of a matchroom show is never going to happen.

If he gets paid enough $$$ he will.

They'll never pay him that much on the undercard.

Well it's a prediction I want to happen

I was thinking Haye v Whyte or Price. Doubt it will be Price.i like the Whyte fight for Haye - he does a better job than AJ and it builds that fight for next year.

If Haye is anywhere near as quick as he was, Whyte won't lay a glove on him. I have a feeling he might go after Jarell Miller - unbeaten American, top 15 WBA, can talk a bit but probably far too slow to be a problem once the bell goes

If it's not by the end of the week it won't be Wlad.

It just shows you how awful Haye's comeback has been that three fights in people discussing him fighting a guy he should basically beat the shit out of in Dillian Whyte has me thinking "you poor over optimistic fools!"

He'll either be fighting somebody we've never heard of again or Shannon Briggs and I will be watching neither. Haye, even faded, punches like a train and these mismatches are disgusting and dangerous.

With regards to AJ, I have a feeling it genuinely will be Wladamir in December. And it will be huge.

Well considering that Fury has now vacated the WBA and WBO titles, it paves the way for Joshua to potentially fight in an IBF and WBA unification (despite is going against all the rules of each governing body) while Ruiz Jr and Parker will contest the WBO belt.

That does mean that there could be a further unification between Joshua and Parker for the IBF/WBO/WBA titles in the new year - providing that Joshua and Parker win their respective bouts.

Like Haye v Whyte is going to be on a Matchroom undercard.

Why does Wilder never get mentioned by Eddie as a future opponent??

Money talks at the end of the day and it will be a step up from channel Dave and Hayes circus he's had.
Not sure if Eddie would up his ppv price though to about £20 which wouldn't surprise me

Any developments on Browne vs Oquendo?

We were sitting in the pub last night chatting about heavyweight: the Fury situation, how the belts will be up for grabs now, Parker, Ortiz signing to Matchroom, Haye, Joshua's next opponent, Lucas Browne's paper title, contenders, everything.

It took us ages before we even remembered Deontay Wilder even existed.

He is pretty much irrelevant.

Wilder and Joshua have mentioned one another, but only really in passing. The problem is that Wilder is currently injured, so until he's back on the scene he is irrelevant. I think because all the other titles were bundled together with Klitchko/Fury they almost seemed a different conversation, and with the saga which was ongoing between Wilder and Povetkin it seemed even less in the same conversation.

Once this round of fights has finished, the subject will be re-raised, definitely.

He's injured, and Joshua has only been mentioned in that sort of level recently. Plus if he was just after making as much money as possible Fury and Wlad are bigger names than Wilder anyway.

You have a theoretical scenario whereby the ideal outcome for Joshua is fight and beat Wlad, then fight and beat Wilder next year, which could build to a late summer fight between the unbeaten, never lost his titles in the ring Fury and WBC/WBA/IBF/WBO champion Joshua. That would be ludicrously massive.

That was basically our conclusion from the pub conversation. Fury can sit it out, get his head together, everybody else can battle for supremacy, and then finally, when we have a unified champion, Fury can come strolling out of exile as the true champion. And it would be true: Fury, if he comes comes again, is The Man, and whoever is champion at the time will have to beat him to prove otherwise.

Loads of money there. LOADS. Especially if it's AJ.

Unless he gets stripped/his win gets voided after a failed drug test. Then he's a fat guy who's not fought legit since he beat Hammer and his best win is Chisora. Despite him being inactive there's a massive amount riding on that for Fury, albeit he can still be sold as 'the bad guy' and Wembley will always fill up with punters happy to pay to see Joshua hospitalise him. (Not saying that's what would happen, but the uncomfortable truth is that is what most would be paying for.)

A stadium fight with aj would give Tyson his entire career earnings, eight times over. That's got to be the plan.
