Simple. The circus we see today results in the best not fighting the best the majority of the time.

To be fair - ridiculous clauses in contracts have been around a very long time. Obvious old time one being Joe Louis v Jim Braddock.

Joshua did the right thing by accepting ... but we all kinda knew fWank would clear up Fury`s verbal shite by making the terms so ridiculous that Joshua would never be able to agree to them.

We always make an assumption that our top athletes are as cognitively gifted as they are gifted in the sports they excel in. This is almost always wrong - Fury probably had less education that most contemporary sports people - and unfortunately it shows. He is pig shit stupid to be fair.

Tyson was brought up in a mansion and went to public school

Most of what's been written about Fury comes from his or his dad's mouth - which as we know is 99x out of hundred a load of nonsense.

Depending what you read - Fury lived in a modest house to a mansion when young .. of course it was built by hand by Big John alone to add that Fury flavour to it ..

But I have never read anything of Fury attending school/education past 11yrs old .. I think you may be confusing fee paying public school with a state school available to the general public.

Yeah, nobhead that bloke. He thinks he's clever because he's a couple of years older than me.

Does this mean you think Fury`s videos are ridiculous too Mick?

I just seen Joshua`s video on youtube - no idea if its the one you referring to - one where he is in a park or somewhere and saying of course he`ll sign the contract?

To be fair to Joshua`s there was no talk of middleweights, bodybuilders, or sausages .. so nowhere near as ridiculous as any of Fury`s last few vids.

Lets hope the fight gets made now. It seems Hearn has played this to keep Fury`s back against the wall and difficult for him to back out of; but lets wait and see ..
