Tyson said he had little interest in fighting Anthony Joshua now, adding: "AJ's been beat now. I was interested when he was a virgin. It was a test. We want big fights, this that and the other, but 'who are you? You don't have any belts anymore. You don't have anything to give'."
Is this Fury admitting he ducked Joshua? Fair play


As for him and Usyk here's hoping but I'll suspend my excitement until it's official
Joshua has turned down the chance to fight Fury twice in the past nine months. Why should he offer him another chance?

Will be delighted when the first bell rings. Given the amount of dough here I’d expect a few good undercard fights as well,l. Probably not as good as Fury v Ngannou but maybe two similar heavyweight fights.

After listening to FW in Talk sport, he sounds super confident that it will happen, let's hope so.

Anything to avoid Zhang :D

Are people this hyped up about Zhang now? Usyk whooped Joyce in 2013 without headgear at York Hall, when he was a whole 10 years younger.

Fair play - that's so much funnier than your local pub comment - it must take you hours to come up with such clever witty comments mate. I'm sure you could have been as successful as comedy script writing as you were at professional boxing.

I know it was a long time ago, but if you look at the type of boxers Foreman struggled against I think you can be fairly confident that of the current top tier heavyweights, it’s probably Usyk who would have the easiest time outpointing Zhang.

Perhaps you should be eating a little humble pie rather than having cowardly pops online at someone brave enough to fight for a living.

Fury reportedly getting $200mill.
Not quite the half billion he wanted but glad a price could be met. With this and whatever he's getting for the Ngannou exhibition, he's played a blinder here.
Sabotaging the Wembley negotiations and all the gaslighting has certainly paid off. :salut:

Anything can happen in the next few months that gets fury off the hook

A cowardly pop?
Just being complimentary/sympathetic to someone struggling to write something funny on a forum. Hardly a cowardly pop by any normal persons thinking.

Lots here have boxed - most of us had other options than doing it professionally though.

What is the 'take home cheque' from a 200 million dollars pay day?

Manager/promotor .. Bob and fWank will no doubt be on a percentage of at least 25% between them.

Trainer will unlikely be on percentage, but on a set fee, so similar to training camp costs I recon.

Tax/NI 60%


Β£40-45 million??
