I wonder which terrestrial channel will be showing it?

They could fight in Cardiff

For the money Fury and Joshua will want, it will need site fees, even though the fight has come 3-4 years too late.

Maybe they won’t get 70m each like they could’ve expected a couple of years ago but surely a huge stadium ppv event in the uk could bring them 20m each which is a lot more than they’d get for tick over fights

It's obviously a bit fight if it happens, even now - but I find it hard to believe they're going to negotiate this in time for December.

Doesn't happen.

The only offer on the table will be like 70-30, nevertheless it's still the biggest payday for AJ out there

I think Fury is effectively semi-retired - he will come back for collossal paydays, but he's not much interest otherwise.

The sad thing is, a fight with Joshua is probably bigger than a fighter with the winner Usyk, it definitely should be on home soil, so the fans can get to attend - but I doubt that is the case. Fury and Joshua would rather fight in a dead stadium with a half arsed crowd and make bigger money.

If this is the case Eddie will say Fury is ridiculous with his demands. Fury will say he’s lucky I’ve offered him a shot and he should be grateful for whatever % he gets offered.

Call me a pessimist but this fight will not happen next.

i am starting to wonder if he is just deliberately playing up to the stereotypes now, kind of like Froch with the 80,000 thing. the outlandishness of his announcements doesn't seem remotely intended to convince anyone.

People somehow still seem to believe him (we basically get a new thread on here whenever he randomly calls someone out on Twitter), so why not play up to it.
