Fury is going nowhere. In his absolute prime and enjoying his boxing.

It was Xu who wanted to wait it out until crowds were there , like most he probably assumed that the Lara win was a cert

So it would have been a unification without World champions?

Eh? Warrington was still champ when it was supposed to happen and it was assumed by most that he would still be after he fought Lara, the Xu fight was apparantly happening in summer

His fight with Lara was a non-title fight. Hearn was talking of a "unification" at the start of this year.

Thats right mate, i forgot he ended up vacating because the IBF wouldnt sanction Lara, the title was initially meant to be on line, doubt the IBF would've even sanctioned it as a unification because none of the other ABCs recognize the Regular title,

look at the moaning about the location, crowd, etc.......it's like people dont even give a f@ck about the fight in the ring!

The IBF wouldn't sanction it. They were insisting that he faced his mandatory challenger. Neither of these facts prevented Hearn spending months talking of the "unification".
"Saudi contract within 24 hours" is looking remarkably similar to me.

For a laugh? I doubt he'd have time to play games

As for Arum and Warren maybe they should get off their arses and try make things happen, they've got 100+ years experience over Hearn, maybe they can do better if they really want fight,

If this fight doesnt happen only a simpleton would blame Joshua and credit Fury, you can lead a horse to water...

Don't forget 'Gypsy John' on tele every week playing down the chances of it happening. He's petrified of his son losing.

They made as much headway in the Warrington - Xu Can "Unification" as Hearn did, but with a few less IFL interviews.
