That'll be Wilder v Joshua at Wembley stadium, then.

Tory donors flogging T shirts and hotdogs in the grounds

Pray for doofy. The meltdown will never end

Eddie and AJ will continue procrastinating and failing AJ-Wilder and AJ-Fury, always playing it like it's the other side's fault or the circumstances are delaying the fight. AJ is done - exposed. He will suffer heavy losses to those two and he knows it, Eddie knows it. Any of them will be AJ's retirement.

Not sure if i'd take a pudendum like Skeletor's word on matters.
Man-at-arms, sure, but Skeletor?

Awww poor doofy. There there there, everything's going to be ok.

The rumours are it's AJ v Fury negotiation time again. Hopefully Fury doesn't pull out again.

Eddie and AJ aren’t procrastinating. AJ’s had 2 fights this year and it’s pretty clear they’re trying to get the Wilder fight win Saudi sorted.

In the mean time Wilder has had one fight in 23 months and doesn’t have any kind of fight signed and sealed (there’s been talk for 6 months of him having a pre AJ warm up).

I get they’re trying to make massive money from Saudi and they won’t want to move on until they’re happy that option has been exhausted.

However if it’s clear that it’s a no go for February at the very latest then I don’t get why they don’t just make the fight somewhere else. A fight and a guaranteed £15-£20m is better than just listening to talk of £50m.

After 7 years have you considered that it’s not a fight that the Hearns want to make?

If they didn’t want to make the fight then they wouldn’t have offered Wilder the fight directly, which they have done in the past and Wilder admitted he turned down, or through a deal with DAZN.

You do realise Mav that he's now about to post up the Barry Hearn £50mil quote again......

Ah yes. That £50m deal that apparently AJ had to agree to before seeing any details of the contract/proof of funds. When he’s locked into an exclusive broadcast deal with Sky at the time.

Not forgetting it came from Wilder's own personal email account, all sounded very professional

Sky stopped him fighting Wilder and his sponsorship deals stopped him fighting Fury. Sounds believable.

Yeah, two fights against bums. Actually they are trying to make the fight for at least 4 years so far...

Wilder's only fight in almost 2 years has been against one of those 'bums'.
Fury's last defence was against a shot to shit 38 year old gatekeeper, and now about to fight someone making their pro boxing debut.

Why just the criticism of Joshua and Usyk's opponents yet no mention of Wilder and Fury's recent/upcoming shitfests?

AJ, Wilder and Fury will fight, but as always in boxing they will be about 40 when they do so

Hearn on Joshua-Wilder: "Terms Agreed, But Until We Receive a Contract The Fight is Not Happening"

“We’ve agreed terms for Joshua-Wilder, but until we receive a contract the fight is not happening,” Hearn told Boxing King Media.

“Politically, it sounds like there’s a lot going on. For us, we are ready to take that fight. [Wilder's co-manager] Shelly Finkel and I have spoken, they are ready to take that fight. It doesn’t just have to happen in Saudi Arabia. There are now other talks about other countries that it could take place in.

“There is a movement of management and ownership of boxing in Saudi and it’s up to them what they want to do. If they don’t do Joshua-Wilder maybe it goes somewhere else. It’s one of the biggest fights in heavyweight boxing, we are being told they do [want to do it]. I really wouldn’t be surprised if Joshua ended up fighting Fury.”

I reckon the Saudi's are focusing on football..

Probably get a better return from other sports rather than Boxing.

There were posters on here that claimed that this fight was made and used it as a valid excuse for Joshua ducking the Fury fight this month.

Come on Doofus. How long can you keep this up for?

The man you are defending has even admitted that he is only interested in money.

This is all becoming a bit Comical Ali.

Usyk and Joshua have both turned down the chance to fight him twice in the past 9 months.
Joshua has also said he is only interested in the money.

The point was that any criticism of their behaviour - valid or not - is rich coming from anyone who thinks Fury can do no wrong.

are/were both entities funded by government?
I opted for Joshua KO more in hope than expectation on the poll.
