[BOXING POLL ADDED] FURY vs JOSHUA: A Two Fight Deal Has Already Been Signed !!

[JollyGood]

Mayweather is on friendly terms with Fury and Joshua. When recently asked who would win he refused to name a winner. If he gets involved training one fighter he will alienate himself from the other one so no chance will he get in to the Joshua camp. If Fury or Joshua allow others to get involved with their training it will unbalance the structure they have with their own teams so it is clear it will not happen.

50 votes is an easy target once they will finalized the date of this fight and started promoting and hyping this one, this is one big fight that boxing hardcore fans are waiting for.

I've read an article lately that Mayweather Jr offered his services to help train Joshua into this fight and i would not be surprised if Mike Tyson would do the same  .

I am disappointed this thread received just 30 votes in the poll. I hope we can get to the 50 votes mark soon 

I just voted and I think the other just don't know that there has been a poll going on in this thread. I was shocked that most of the users are in favor of Fury the same as I do. Man, Fury is something that Joshua cannot be underestimated with his unique skill to throw some punches and knock out his opponent at any round, he should not blink or he will lay in the floor when the time he opens his eyes.

I agree with the bolded text, either camp can't just let people come in to help them train as the people around them are all experts in what they are doing. It's just Floyd's way of throwing his name into this fight hoping to get involve in a fight with this kind of magnitude.

Mayweather added that he was not on such close terms with Fury, but nonetheless praised him as a "great guy."

Will there be betting odds for this?

I guess the odds will be x50, if it happen that it's available, then I might take a chance risking my money to that although I have a feeling it's almost impossible. Fans have spoken, they will not be wrong because Fury was really impressive.

Good for Joshua as he really need to train hard here, it's the world vs him in this fight as we can see in the result of the poll.

[JollyGood]

I just do not see another trainer or mentor being allowed in to a boxing camp when a team is already assembled for a big fight such as this. Fury and Joshua have their trainers and their entourage worked out so whether Mayweather or another fighter is being mentioned in reality it is very unlikely they will be involved.

Assuming he is serious then this is not a good idea, Mayweather is a great defensive fighter but the difference in reach and power of the heavyweight division does not make his style viable at that level, do you remember a boxing fighter with a style like his? Even Muhammad Ali had to eventually learn how to take and tank hits as it was impossible to keep evading as a single shoot from the likes of Foreman could have taking him out if one slipped through his guard.

Mayweather will teach a fighter how to score and run and to be quick, I guess Joshua is not quick, well obvious because they are heavyweight fighters but if we compare him to Fury, I guess Fury has a better ring movement and a good ring IQ as well, all the edge is only Fury so let's see what preparation Joshua is doing, and I think hiring Mayweather is just another experiment, who knows it would work.

Bringing a new trainer or team member to assist in an already established group of highly focused people will create problems. Either a new member (be it Mayweather or anyone else) should have entered the training camp from day one to minimise disruption or should not enter at all.

You have a point though, why would they add new member when Joshua is going great in his previous fights, in fact he loss once in his career and he was also able to avenge is loss afterward, so for me he still looks undefeated which he can certainly match with Fury. He should trust his current staff though, just saying.

The dates are not fixed yet and if they want to consider that there is enough time for the fight then there is no problem in adding extra coaching staff and many fighters have done that in the past to have additional input as an assisting coach and the head coach remains the same.

If the government gives the permission the fight will take place in Wembley Stadium with full capacity according to Eddie Hearn and the offer stands from Arab nations as well to host the fight.

If the government gives the permission the fight will take place in Wembley Stadium with full capacity according to Eddie Hearn and the offer stands from Arab nations as well to host the fight.

So how is the situation in UK and whether the government will give permission to carry on with the fight in full capacity and i believe that the stadium has a capacity of around 100,000 people and i do not think they will allow to fill half the stadium let alone the full stadium until the government somehow magically control and isolate the virus . The best bet will be to take the Saudi bid and conduct the fight and by the time of rematch hope that the situation will be back to normal and it can take place in Wembley stadium with full capacity crowd.

Full capacity?

It sounds impossible unless if this entire covid problem would be resolved then we would see such thing but if not then we would really be still having that similar arrangement where
only a few audience and staffs would really be the only one inside the venue.

We cant deny that it is much better to look up this fight when crowd is there.I missed those good old days.
Towards the fight then I would be rooting for Fury on here.

Votes in the poll: 35

Fury to win both fights: 29

Joshua to win both fights: 0

I was hoping the thread would have got around 50 votes in the poll so far but we are at 35.

The overwhelming majority of voters here are going for Fury to beat Joshua twice and that speaks volumes about both fighters.

[Russlenat]

1st & 2nd Fight: Joshua, that's my vote.

No one voted for that because all you guys in favor of Fury, well, let me vote for that as Joshua is also a legit champion.
Fury was impressive in the 2nd fight vs Wilder but Wilder looks exhausted, maybe Joshua is different and he can beat the gypsy king.

Majority of us here voted Fury will take the first and second fight

1st & 2nd Fight: Fury    - 30 (81.1%)

while thinking what to vote I'm thinking that Joshua did a great job on his two last fight but Fury shows a lot when he beat Wilder decisively, and yes I am right Fury is the favorite of the majority here and it shows with a huge 81% vote, but this is only us I don't know the experts if they will also unanimously favor Fury.

[freedomgo]

but this is only us I don't know the experts if they will also unanimously favor Fury.

Experts would always say that Fury will win, it's not all about betting though.

There are experts analysts who always favor the best fighter per record and as we can see between these 2 fighters, Fury has the best record since he is undefeated and beat the fighter with the highest KO ratio.

Thank you for your vote and comments. We all know Joshua is a legitimate champion and he deserves to be. We all also know it is boxing and at the end of the day anything can happen in the ring when two champions meet but the majority of analysts seem to be sure Fury will dominate Joshua.

I am looking forward to the fight

Unpopular opinion but why not?

We have seen some upsets and Joshua has the tools to beat Fury. I think this is more of a mental game now, the fighter with the bigger heart have a high chance of winning. Although Fury is the favourite because of his demolition of Wilder, Joshua was proven himself as well when he extract his revenge against Ruiz Jr. So that alone tells us that Joshua has the heart of a champion.

If you talk about the heart of a champion Tyson Fury already displayed that, when you are against the fence how you overcome that and Fury showed in the first fight against Wilder when he was down and how he recovered and countered his attack and Joshua when he was against the fence against Ruiz he was not able to make any changes and showed the heart of a champion in the fight, in the rematch he won but not during the fight.
