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

[JollyGood]

On the surface what is clear is that Fury offered the fight to Joshua on a 60/40 split which is an excellent 40% for Joshua considering he lost back to back fights and his titles along the way and is currently not holding any championship belts. Joshua says he has accepted as long as Fury and his team talk to his team.

Keeping that aside, no contract has been signed yet and until one is I remain dubious it will go ahead. Why would Fury put his belts on the line in return for fighting someone with no belts and thing to lose? Why has Joshua not made an assault on the media shouting off he will claim to beat Fury? Something does not add up.

Because Joshua understands that this fight, most likely, will not happen. It is not clear, for what this fight for Fury, maybe he just sees that Joshua is now depressed after the defeat and considers him an easy opponent. And he is afraid to box with Usyk, because Usyk is confident in himself, and Fury admits that he can lose with him. I don't know, Fury is weird, who knows what's going on in his head.

[Ararbermas]

Well for me i think it would be FURY because even andy ruiz can dominate him on their match so how much more when it comes fury wherein a heavy puncher and have a good technique to dominate his all opponents. How many times fury proved that his the king? So for me IMO prediction joshua will end up KO..

Fury loves to take people for a ride, just when we all thought that he is retiring for good now here he is daring Usyk and Joshua for a fight and coming up with huge demands, he's good at mind games, he knows that Joshua is vulnerable and he wants to attack that vulnerability,

Keeping that aside, no contract has been signed yet, and until one is I remain dubious it will go ahead.

Promoters are waiting for the public's interest in this fight but who would be so interested in waiting for a fight against a fighter who just come from two losses, people will perceive this as going to be a very one-sided match because of Joshua's mental condition and motivation is at its weakest he will desperately be trying to win, he should first go on a build-up road first, a fight with Fury can wait, he can regain his winning streaks in two fights even if those fights are cherry-picked.

Fury was on Talksport this morning and has said he's offered AJ three different dates at three different venues: November 12, or Wembley stadium for November 26 and December 3 in Cardiff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nUu5qgjjQk

If you take Fury at his word AJ can't get better than that.

Because it's the biggest fight to make outside of Usyk, and some even say it's even bigger than that. If Fury thinks he beats AJ easy then it's a no-brainer for him along with one of if not the biggest payday (which Usyk will probably eclipse if it's in Saudi). I don't think it will be an easy fight but Fury will be by far the favourite and 90% of people will expect him to win.

Why belts if it was initially only about the WBC belt (did something change?)?

By the way, what odds will make you bet on the victory of one of the fighters? 1.1 on Fury would be a good choice? Or 20 on AJ (which we are unlikely to see since there is always a place for lucky punch in boxing)? At the moment I'm out of ideas although it's obvious that Fury is the clear favorite.

Usyk has announced he will not be fighting again this year even though Fury and his team were desperate for the fight to go ahead therefore Fury has made an open challenge via the media to Joshua challenging him to the Battle of Britain fight and putting his belts on the line while Joshua has zero belts.

If Joshua accepts and this fight goes ahead, what will will the outcome be and will it shape the future of boxing for years to come?

I was surprised to see the call out by Tyson Fury in Instagram, but there is a timeline for Joshua to accept the fight and if Joshua accepts the fight within the timeframe we could see the potential fight between them and i was eagerly waiting for this fight long back, but the hype is lost after couple of losses  against Usyk and i don't think Joshua will be mentally prepared to take on this challenge within the timeframe. Either Fury has to wait for Usyk to return or find another opponent if he is planning to fight this year.

Tyson Fury is looking for the next biggest payday that he will get if he will get out of his 'retirement'. And the best second fight is Anthony, although doesn't have the belts, but still has al of fans in their native country, so there is money to be made. And who is he calling to call? Andy Ruiz? the WBC eliminator winning? yes he has the right to challenge Fury but the money will be less compared to the "Battle of Britain" that Fury wanted before the end of this year.

Fury every day of the week, and twice on sunday! (Yes, I'm paraphrasing Fury there). Honestly, I think there's a massive difference between the two, and while I definitely want to see it, that's only to confirm it in reality rather than in my mind, that Fury is the best thing to come out of the UK boxing scene in a very long time. Especially heavyweight.

Joshua probably gets one last big pay out after this fight, and it'll likely be Wilder. Then I see him either retiring himself or continuing to fight the Chisora's of the division. Hearne will want to milk the cow as much as he can after these fights.

Also, it'll be nice to see these two fight in the UK for once. They've fought overseas far too many times.

It's because that's what have been offered to him when they supposed to fight years ago. They have schedule a blockbuster fight between them, AJ 3 belts still and Fury has the WBC. But Fury has a contractual obligation to fight Wilder and then AJ lost back to back to Usyk. Now the tide has turn, AJ now is being offered 40. And as per report there will be a rematch clause.

Still at works, lots of things to iron out, they are domestic rivals including their promotions, Matchroom by Hearn (AJ) and Queensberry Promotions by Frank Warren (Fury).

No doubt, both promotions know there's a lot of money riding on this, and I imagine Hearne is going to be pushing for a 50/50 split rather than taking the smaller purse. I imagine it's going to take...in typical boxing fashion a few months to sort this out, while both fighters are ageing. There will probably be issues with securing a venue, all of the normal excuses you have when it comes to these two fighters.

I also see them selling out, and going to Dubai to host it. They'll want the money, and the UK side of things can't compete with that, which will be a huge shame for British fans wanting to see these two fight in their home turfs.

It is quite surprising that Usyk had avoided fury, but this Fury - Joshua fight is indeed very interesting.  This had been long overdue and I hope both the fighter will come to terms and schedule their fight.  Fury might have an advantage in this fight but I am hoping that Joshua win's the fight.

But Fury has a contractual obligation to fight Wilder and then AJ lost back to back to Usyk. Now the tide has turn, AJ now is being offered 40. And as per report there will be a rematch clause.

It is reasonable because AJ poses as a challenger in the possible upcoming fight.  Besides, it is an offer of opportunity for  AJ to have a title fight asap after he losses to Usyk.

Keeping that aside, no contract has been signed yet and until one is I remain dubious it will go ahead. Why would Fury put his belts on the line in return for fighting someone with no belts and thing to lose?

Possibly because Fury thinks that he has an advantage over AJ and easy money for him if ever AJ accepted the fight. 

Why has Joshua not made an assault on the media shouting off he will claim to beat Fury? Something does not add up.

It is simple, Joshua doesn't want to look like a clown on social media.  Remember he lost back to back to Usyk, so claiming he will beat Fury will possibly become a laughing stock on social media until proven.

I take any talk online as gospel, and with a huge pinch of salt. So, I doubt they'll avoid each other personally it'll be their promotions if anyone. They'll want to setup a cash cow, but the only problem with mega fights is they derail one of the fighters careers, unless you can make a massive rematch or trilogy out of it. However, I don't think the two fighters are close enough in terms of ability that it'll be close, and therefore after the first fight a lot of interest will be lost.

Usyk has only recently really got his career rolling in the Heavyweight division so his promotion will want to keep milking that cow, and they'll avoid any risky fights in my opinion. Fury obviously is at the tail end of his career, and probably just wants to mop up the rest of the division, and be the undisputed best fighter of his era.

If I'm not mistaken, in the schedule first fight of Fury and Joshua, the side of Anthony pushes for a 60:40 and then Fury camp come back with the 50:50 split. Perhaps Hearn will used it against Fury this time and see how they will react with that kind of split.

Of course, it will be a shame if the fight is not going to happen in the British soil. But the money is going to flow if ever this is going to be in Saudi again. It seems that Hearn has build already a good rapport with someone rich and influential in Saudi that he can just go there and ask for the fight to be held with this amount of money.

If I were from AJ team, I would suggest him to fight someone he would definitely win (I guess that is called a cherry pick fight; correct me if I am wrong). If AJ looses, and it looks like he will definitely gonna lose to Fury, that might end his career.

And it is going to be a perfect fight for Fury to end his career undefeated. With his dirty boxing (laying on opponents) and lots of AJ muscles, AJ will be fighting oxygen, not Fury in late rounds. Imho, AJ should avoid this fight, even for a big cheque if he wants to continue boxing career. He has already proved that he is far from being the best, now it is stupid to prove that against more dangerous opponent.

We have 17 votes in the poll and just 1 is in favour of Joshua to win. 16 of the 17 votes are in favour of Fury to win the fight if it goes ahead.

Considering the fact Fury has offered so many options to Joshua in order to accommodate the fight, there should be no excuses on part of Joshua to avoid getting in the ring to face Fury. I hope we something written in a contract soon so both fighters can concentrate on the fight itself.

Based on this article it's almost a done deal and they are just ironing out the tiny bits of information they all agreed on many things.
https://metro.co.uk/2022/09/07/anthony-joshua-accepts-tyson-furys-60-40-fight-offer-on-one-condition

Fury’s promoter Frank Warren also confirmed an offer would be sent over with Hearn now telling IFL TV they have accepted the deal which also includes a rematch option.

They are very transparent in their talks, they should be because this is the fight that should have happened years ago but it's under different circumstances now, made possible by Fury's gesture of giving him a chance to redeem himself or to end his career

It would be strange if the results were different. This calls into question the expediency of the fight. I would like to know what the odds of the bookmakers will be for this fight, it seems that due to the current situation we will really see something extremely one-sided. Like 1.05 on Fury and 18 on AJ. You will either have to bet on an outsider or guess in which round a knockout will occur.

Joshua should really grab this fight as an opportunity to show more of his skills in the ring. Fury has always been ready and prepared for whoever his opponents would be so we can't question the number of supporters who trust his strength in the ring. He has been showing his eagerness and dedication to making a good name in the industry.

What do you mean, he had to change his trainer just in his rematch against Usyk, to show his skills in the ring but it was not enough as obviously he has lost that fight already.

Nevertheless, he said he wanted to still fight and there you go, Tyson Fury offered him a all British match. There are dates and venue, purse split, we just have to see the sign contract. And base on the votes, Fury will be the favorite, probably Joshua will be 3:1 underdog in the opening odds.
