What is your definition of the word "fact"?

Is it intentionally offensive, shocking, or absurdly false content specifically to provoke people to become angry or frustrated, so that they feel compelled to comment on a fabricated lie conveyed by rage-baiters and trolls?

I have told many people before 'if this fight does not happen, it will be because of Tyson Fury.

That isn't a fact, it's an opinion, just sayin'.

Yes! That is my opinion, and? Well it is looking to be a very strong one.

Note: It is September 10th 'if this fight does go ahead, they will in my opinion have to move the fight dates'.

Anthony Joshua in reality should just focus on trying to win a World title 'I think both Fury and Joshua have the ability to win another world title. Because let's be honest? None of the top heavyweights active now, are as good as Fury or Joshua at their best'.

Neither Wardly nor Dubois are great boxers 'Kabayel has been a professional for years, he turned professional before Anthony Joshua. And during the peak years of Fury, Joshua, and Wilder's heavyweight reigns he quite simply was not good enough to even be a factor'.

Moses Itauma is also been proven to be a front runner at top level 'and clearly does not hit with the power, that the British media like to portray' etc.

Gassiev is about as beatable a Heavyweight titlist as there's ever been so i do think Joshua would have a reasonable chance against him, but he's about it. He'd lose to Dubois or Kabayel.

Hrgovic might be a toss-up.

I'd favor Fury to beat most of the current titlists. Either way though their era is on its way out.

Report: Principality Stadium back in play for Anthony Joshua-Tyson Fury

Staging the Anthony Joshua-Tyson Fury heavyweight bout in the U.K. remains “absolutely” in play, Joshua promoter Eddie Hearn told BS Thursday following a report specifying such a scenario.

Veteran boxing writer Dan Rafael of Fight Freaks Unite! cited sources reporting that Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, is being proposed for the matching of two British former world champions on November 28.

Hearn told Boxing Scene, “Lots of dates and venues [are] in play.”

The other central issue in Rafael’s report is that streaming partner Netflix “was now OK with the move” after a previous effort to place the bout at New York’s Madison Square Garden on November 20 to maximize revenue and exposure.

Principality Stadium, offering a retractable roof and seating capacity beyond 80,000, is considered a superior site to Wembley Stadium because it isn’t obliged to the start-time restrictions that the north London venue adheres to due to neighborhood noise limitations.

Starting the fight in the early morning hours in the U.K. is preferable, at least to financiers, given the eight-hour time difference between there and the Pacific time zone in the U.S.

The stadium has history in that regard.

In 2007, the unified super-middleweight title fight between Wales’ Joe Calzaghe and Mikkel Kessler at Principality Stadium started at 2am local time, 9pm in the U.S. Eastern time zone.

Joshua has fought there twice in consecutive fights, defeating Carlos Takam and Joseph Parker in 2017-18.

Rafael reported the matter could be “resolved” within “the next couple days.”

In the U.K., The Times’ Tom Kershaw reported that the officials at the stadium could approve an extension to the typical curfew (10.30pm) within 24 hours.

A spokesperson for the Welsh Rugby Union that owns and operates Principality Stadium told BS in August, “We’d be delighted to host this fight.

“We are very keen to attract more boxing to the stadium, which has a rich history in the sport, enhanced by its close-able roof, unrivaled sight lines and unique city centre location.”

Fury 36-2-1 (25 KOs) has never fought there. The “Gypsy King” has spent recent days bemoaning Hearn and Joshua’s resistance to fighting in the U.S., saying he’d like to pursue a trilogy fight with recent undisputed champion Oleksandr Usyk; a notion shot down by an Usyk associate.

Fury, 38, stopped veteran Mariusz Wach July 24 in Thailand in a tuneup bout for Joshua.

In his warm-up bout, the 36-year-old Joshua, 30-4 (27 KOs), recovered from two first-round knockdowns on July 25 versus Kristian Prenga to win by emphatic KO in the second.

Benn vs garcia would/could be the perfect event to announce it at if Dana is really in charge of fury vs AJ...

I can't wait for Dana the Wife Beater to not be the promoter of this fight.

Baldy claimed over a month ago that he knew “where the fight is.”... and even now, nobody knows where it is...

Death, taxes, and Dana lying...

Chances are it will be in Wales in December. We'll see.

If it's going to be in December in the UK, Cardiff is the only viable option, because of the roof at the Principality Stadium.
