[ BOXING POLL ADDED ] The Heavyweight Battle of Britain - FURY vs JOSHUA

[Baofeng]

It's hanging now, it looks like the fight will not push through, and based on the statement of Joshua they have done their thing but Fury just pull out of the fight, we need to hear Fury's side of the story, he is the one that offers the fight he sent the contract and maybe because of waiting too long he just wants to make it happen anymore, we'll see the development of the talks Fury can go back because this will be an easy fight for him.

I'm not all that interested in what their side has got to say, just get it done. Anything else is just going to annoy me, and the rest of the fans I'd imagine. I'm not interested in the politics I just want this fight to happen. Personally for me, and I think I've said this before I want this fight more than the Usyk fight. That fight I'm not even all that excited for. I'd ideally like both, but I think I'm being a little bit optimistic considering these fights always take months at a time, and a whole bunch of chatter on the side.

And it's just so crazy that Fury pushing for it, then issuing a ultimatum on Joshua, and then saying that he will be fighting a unknown in Charr? What will be get out if it? Money is him and Joshua simple as that.

Come to think about it why Charr though? Joe Joyce won recently, and he is promoted by Frank Warren, both of them, so it doesn't make sense for Fury to choose Charr unless he wants an easy fight this December. Or just simply playing mind games as usual with Joshua and his camp.

Unless it's a mandatory opponent Fury can pick or even cherry-picked fighter of his choosing, Joe Joyce is a good choice for a great matchup but I'm sure he still wants the Joshua fight, he just wants Joshua to speed up the process of agreeing to the fight, Fury has a huge advantage on a fight against any of Joshua or Charr but not on Joyce, so he is not setting his eyes on Joyce, he knows he's a threat to his title and legacy.

Not sure, Joyce a threat to Fury? Fury is above all they boxers in the heavyweight right now.

And also Joyce volunteered as well to fight Joshua if his fight with Fury does not materialized. And I would say that Joshua has the good chance to beat Joyce.

But we all want the British showdown between Fury vs Joshua, less than that, fans might not watch or hype about who is either one of them are going to face next.

Usyk will probably fight Wilder before Fury, and that fight will probably take an age to make. I see Usyk actually losing that one too.

Agreed, I love boxing but it is exhausting the games promoters and even boxers play in order for the fights to actually happen, it seems they really think that doing something like this encourages more people to actually watch the fights.

And who knows maybe it does? In my case I will watch a fight if I think the fight is going to be any good, but maybe I am a weirdo and people love the politics and the mind games, and this is why they are so prevalent in the world boxing.

The fight is officially off. Here is the article




John Fury (father of Tyosn Fury) has embarrassed and taunted Eddie Hearn by saying his failure to sign a deal to fight Tyson Fury means Joshua will not receive a £100 million payment for the fight.

In the given article, it is said that Derek Chisora was offered contract to fight Fury. The name Mahmoud Charr also appeared in this topic as Fury's next opponent. Also Fury was interested Usyk's belts and to fight AJ. And in the same time Fury wanted to retire. Either I am confusing something, or Fury wants to fight anybody and nobody.

That's really confusing I think the best answer is Fury might have some medical condition to not continue his career as a boxer anymore and since he has the best record with no losses, it is better for him to step down and be one of the legendary boxers that will gonna have this amazing record. That's only my two cents if we want to translate this article. Anyway, since he is not yet old, maybe they will still pursue having a fight with Usyk since that fight will still be a big money for them since he will be against a Ukrainian guy, not his ordinary opponents.

I don't know why I get my hopes up. It's the same old story with boxing. While I'm sure both camps will blame one, another. The fans will likely pick a side too, but honestly every big event is always the same. Plus, I'm of the belief that Joshua, and Fury have been avoiding each other for many years now. Not necessarily the fighters, but their promoters trying to get the cash cows going for as long as they can.

As a result if we ever do get this fight, it'll likely be when both fighters are out of their prime, which you could argue that both fighters have been showing signs of decline, especially Joshua. It'll be a joke when both of them go on to make fights with cans. I wish we could just boycott the sport until they start making the fights that the fans want, actually happen.

[TopTort777]

I understand what you mean, it will be like Canelo vs GGG 3 fight. The fight everyone wanted, but the fight that happened to late. No wonder if that will be Fury's last fight. And Eddie Hearn will become as hateful Don King.

Frankly speaking, if their fight happens now or next half year, it wont be interesting to watch, as I think it will be Fury's pure dominance and sunset of AJ career. I'd better re-watch Fury vs Wilder 1, than see AJ destroyed.

Yes, you are absolutely right. This has been like the cycle, the last superfight that we have seen Floyd vs Manny took years to made when one of them are in the decline and obviously, the fight is not what we have expected as it was a snoozer.

And this could be what is likely going to happen if ever this fight is going to be made in the future. And Joshua will bt the Pacquiao, damage good already, and then Fury is Floyd, 0 loses, and still very much in his prime years.

This is so infuriating, they could have kept the negotiations a secret and in the case they refused to fight each other at least the fans would not be disappointed by the fact the fight is not taking place.

But of course this is not what happened, they did everything to make this public and create hype only for the fight to not occur at all, and now by the time it happens, if it happens at all, then most likely it will be when they are out of their prime or even many years later as an exhibition fight, similar to the ones which are so popular these days.
