Fury should call AJ's bluff with the contract situation, threaten to retire if it's not signed soon.

The duck is in from AJ. Fw sounds deadly serious in all interviews.
Hmmm. Are you sure.
Why would Tyson risk a 100m fight with Usyk to please arm chair fans.
Shane Fury.
I don't think we will ever know. AJ would be risking a loss of several easy pay days, too. I can't see his management wanting it. He maybe does. Funny how they've got a venue lined up as well. I heard Zhangs name ages ago.

I thought it could well be bollox all along, a fight that big would surely be in Saudi, sadly becuase of tv networks I don't think it will ever happen.

Risky, according to WBC rules if a fighter retires more than 25 times in a calendar year, they are automatically stripped of the title.

AJ is currently modelling at Milan fashion week. Hardly the work of someone with a huge fight in ten weeks.

Oh ack, we all just need to look at the second Fury v Wilder fight to realise that clothing and boxing just shouldn't be put in the mix together.

That's just not true!
It's 32 times but 25 of those times need to be done by Twitter

I have a feeling, DAZN will want full coverage of AJ's next fight..
Joe Joyce: “If Fury and AJ aren’t fighting then I’ll step in. December 3rd is tight for me @Tyson_Fury, but @EddieHearn you can give your new best mate @allegedly_tv a call and I’ll take the 17th slot with AJ. Easy fight to make!”
JJ has offered now too, but that's getting BT involved.
Let's not pretend DAZN don't have a say..

Lets face it, Joshua isn't fighting in December; he never was.
He's been a 2x a year PPV cash cow for over five years; he isn't suddenly going to start fighting every 3-4 months.

I think it’s good for him to be more active. He hasn’t even been fighting twice a year. If they can get it over 4 months then perfect.

A top 15 opponents.

Why is Chisora not being mentioned? Easy fight to make, easy to sell, at this stage of their careers, it's an interesting match up. Why not?

They’re pretty good mates and AJ’s management team also manages Del.

Simon Brown and Maurice Blocker were best man at each other's wedding and when they fought it was a brutal affair. Style wise, I think it would be interesting while it lasted.

Yeah. From memory that was a title unification so made more sense.
AJ and Chisora are both financially set, there’s no title for either to win and there are other options for them both.
I also think AJ wins comfortably.

Well he’s been selling arena/stadiums over 60k recently.
I’m sure he can sell 20k

Maybe he wants to fight in his home city.

Maybe they have a leisure centre at least.

He could probably fill that with a strong undercard.
