it's all about the Benjamin's bro

Joshua won't take the fight. He will fight hrgovic or wallin instead.

Bob arum just said this isn't happening.

Come on guys this is boxing of course it wasnt going to happen next fight

Cue thousands of repeat mentions of the word dosser being used on fcbk feeds. The 'he's a middleweight' is already trending.
Fury's shtick is fvcking tiresome now.

I think Fury is so caught up in his own importance he’s lost the plot. I doubt he will box either Uysk or Joshua.

... Far as Fury and his fans concerned he has proved he is better than Usyk because he said he wanted to fight him before Xmas and Usyk couldn't do until February/March.
And he better than Joshua because Usyk beat him twice ..

Joshua must take it, because it can be his last chance to gather so much cash. He won't win Fury and Usyk anyway, so his championship ambitions must be restrained infront of the great payday opportunity.

Pretty sure he'll take it if it's a real offer.

I can see it not getting done and then Fury calling AJ a pussy etc for it not being signed.

and then idiots will eat up the idea that josh is ducking, like when he didnt accept wilder's instaoffer

far more damning on the state of the division is when the likes of gerald washington, eric molina, artur szpilka, jo duhaupas, etc are fighting for titles. a guy like wilder can get to being a 40-0 champ with 10 defenses when dom breazeale and bermane stiverne are among the top 3 guys he' s ever beaten

Yeah. These things take time. I listened to an interview with allegedly from earlier and he was coming across as a bit deluded. Saying for AJ to just agree to the deal as there’s nothing stopping him. When asked about how that will tie in to AJ’s exclusive DAZN deal Frank said he had no idea. AJ almost certainly has a contractual obligation to fight on DAZN unless they sign off on it for him to fight elsewhere. That won’t be a quick process and neither will be trying to sort a dual PPV between DAZN and BT. Also AJ has a global deal with DAZN whilst Fury is with ESPN. It all would need sorting and it would all take time.

Not just a case of sign the deal and to hell with his other contractual deals.

A deal like this would take weeks to sort out with all the different parties involved.

60-40 sounds reasonable, but that’s the bit being harped on about, it’s the details that matter.

Will dazn be involved at all? Would Dazn let AJ fight completely off platform? Rematch clause splits? Date? Venue? Ect ect.

If fury really wants this fight, and there team isn’t hiding anything unreasonable just publicise the contract, that way Eddie and AJ have no little details to hide behind. If the public deem it fair and the fight doesn’t happen fury can say AJ ducked, if the public deem it unreasonable then fury can cop criticism or update the contract.

This 24 hour bullshit is piss too. 24 hours for a vague 50 million dollar decision…. Just get the teams on a room and talk about it for fuks sake.

I'm pretty certain it's a load of bollox, when a fighter and his promoter start saying the opponent has 24 hours to sign, you know it's BS.

in his interview yesterday Warren came across as someone who doesn't want the fight, laying down demands such as that it had to be signed in one day etc. His language on the whole was mainly negative.

Interestingly Arum has suddenly appeared over here. singing the virtues of women's boxing no less. Slight change of tune from the old fossil.

Has Fury delayed the deadline as a mark of respect?

He won`t be happy she has died - he be salty she has taken away his limelight.
Expect to see him on Insta/Tik Tok claiming he be fighting in respect of the Queen and donating all proceeds to housing her corgi`s.

allegedly told TalkSPORT today that they’ve put conversations with team AJ on hold in respect of the Queen.

It’s hard to take anything anyone associated with Fury seriously anymore.

No doubt AJ will get the blame from some people if the fight doesn’t happen though…

Warren: Fury-Joshua Discussions On Hold Out of Respect For Queen Elizabeth II

"We’ve put it all on hold at the moment. It wasn’t appropriate obviously. That’s how we feel," Warren said to Talk Sport.

"We’ve put it on hold and will pick up on it in the next week or so. From our perspective, we don’t feel it is appropriate out of respect for what has happened."
