I hope this is done. It'll be great for boxing.
I think Fury can do this thing.

I'll believe it's happening when the bell rings for round 1.

Biggest commercial heavyweight title fight since Lewis-Tyson?

Most important heavyweight title unification bout since Holyfield-Lewis II?

The biggest all-British pound-for-pound world title fight in history?

Big shame about the location but boxing is a gutter business at the top


Presumably the undercard will be pathetic?

At last AJ is fighting a live opponent he doesn't have every advantage over, height ,weight, age etc.
I really hope Tyson blows him out early!

The Gypsy King will outbox Joshua and batter him in the later rounds.

x2.
joshua has to bring it, get inside and apply some heavy pressure...

otherwise he's fucked.

so... he's fucked.

of course he got the power should he catch fury off guard to knock him out.

he won't catch fury off guard.

ruiz left him gun shy and overly cautious.

The Gypsy King will outbox Joshua and batter him in the later rounds.

I think that AJ is hoping that Fury tries that.

get some saudi to pay him off or something, does wilders side even want a straight return vs fury. make him a guarantee to fight the winner, that way he can earn vs some softies will having a bigger payday to come after

God, what a farse!
Undisputed fight belatedly agreed, and then this. Does boxing ever stop shooting itself in the foot.
Maybe some massive step aside money would work, but then they can't both agree to fight wilder next, as it's a 2 fight deal & there will be mandatories too. So Wilder won't want to go to the back of the queue.

Hopefuly the prince of Saudi can just subtly imply he will air strike wilder unless he steps aside for a few extra months, or pay him, either works for me.

I do not care how they figure it out, but somebody needs to get in the ring and sort the HW div out.

There is a reason that Canelo is the undisputed king of boxing currently.

wilder legal wins are unfortunately not helping with that at the moment
