This is a message to @anthonyjoshua.
My promoter Frank Warren convinced me to let Queensberry carry on negotiating with your team this week, despite me knowing that you were never going to do this fight… pic.twitter.com/XpcHOpZJzk

Must have started negotiating with Charr and realized that getting that guy to fight more than once in a year isn’t as cheap as they thought it was going to be.
LoL! Charr still wouldn’t come with as nearly as big a price tag as Joshua of course, but you get what you pay for.
If Fury-Joshua doesn’t happen, I wouldn’t mind seeing Joyce in there with one of them, especially Joshua. I always thought that Joyce was too damn slow to ever amount to anything, but with his durability and work rate, Joyce-Joshua would be really interesting IMO. Would make business sense as well….it certainly would be big in the UK. The winner can then get a shot at Fury. Fury-Charr needs to not happen.
Impossible to think about Charr anymore with thinking about that cartwheel attempt after stopping Lovejoy. Way funnier than it should have been.
Yeah, you don’t mind paying Joshua whatever he wants because you know the business that fight does, Charr’s surely cheaper… but nobody wanna see that lol!
Joyce is interesting because, if you look at all of the top 20ish heavyweights, he’s older than all of them besides Helenius and Ortiz. I think now that he’s proven that he is one of the top guys, he probably wants to hurry up and make the biggest fights and biggest paying fights that he can. I read yesterday that he’ll be back in March. If Fury – AJ doesn’t happen and Joshua fights a lesser opponent in December, I think maybe he takes a Joyce fight in the spring.
If not…. Miller – Browne winner??? Bakolie?
Fury is desperate to get Joshua in the lowest point of his boxing career (mentally mostly), desperate before an unheralded foe flatten him in an upset and the big money fight will be gone for good. My guess is that Joshua doesn’t feel motivated right now to face Fury after his loss to Usyk, fight that took a lot of preparation that even included a new trainer and maybe he wants to rest, regroup his thoughts, fight un easy opponent next year and then go for any top guy like Fury, Joyce, Dubois or Wilder, because don’t forget that Joshua is no longer a desperate fighter in search of a money fight, instead he is a money fighter
Please take your not-so-funny comedy act to the gypsy circus.
Leave it to Fury to keep kicking a man when he’s down. This is the first, in heavyweight boxing history, the champ is chasing a fight against an opponent with 2 straight loses. And this is all after announcing his retirement from the sport.
Only Fury could get away with holding the title in this manner.
Good point. Fury is seeking a vulnerable opponent with two straight losses knowing he has a good chance to pocket a better secured win. Yes, agreed, politics and favoritism run heavy in boxing and Fury is taking full advantage of the opportunity.
I still chuckle over Fury wanting to fight Charr when Charr is a minimal threat and a bad ticket seller regardless of Fury’s twisted endeavors to seek the fight.
Fury already said once he is retired, and the boxing council gives him this grace period with a few extensions to make good on another possible manufactured cash cow cherry picked fight. Yet, there are opponents waiting to fight, who are active in the sport, wanting to climb to the top, and fight for a title Fury is dangling onto for his manipulative BS reasons.
You guys are missing the point. Fury knows he has to fight Joshua now, before he gets beat AGAIN by another underdog, and the money disappears. Joshua loses to Joyce, Wilder, and who knows who else? Fury wants the paycheck before it sinks.
He needs to retired like he told everyone he would do.
Just fight Charr or some other easy fight and then line up the Usyk fight in 2023. Shouldnt have even started negotiating with Joshua in the first place.
At this point, Joshua should be lining up a fight with David Price. With a win, Joshua can announce to the world that he is back and is the best heavy out there.
Enough is enough. Make the fight or fight Usyk next year
People are getting tired of him for real
Eddie Hearn talked about the contract and how its gone back and forth. At first I thought its simple AJ is lucky to have the shot so sign and move forward. Then Hearn mentioned AJ has obligations and that has to be covered so I see some of the delay. Still it doesn’t seem like they are rushing this as fast as they can.
Paul Gallen is the obvious next choice. Fight in the MCG 100,000 people – Aussie slaughter house special. BOXINGS BMF TITLE.
What will this fight prove ? AJ is all washed up and has lost his last two fights so, how does he earn a shot at any title ?
Because Joshua brings a lot of $$$$ to the fight. It’s the same reason why Mike Tyson was still able to sell tickets when he was obviously a shop-worn fighter. With Usyk out, where does Fury go? I don’t think anyone is excited to see yet another fight with Wilder. DuBois might be interesting, as would Joyce. The only other options for Fury would be someone like Hrgovic, Makhmudov,or one of the other young guys, but those fights would have a lot more value once they put some bigger wins on their resume.
Long live the Gypsy King, no one gives a better interview besides maybe Deric Lewis and his sweaty balls
Fury go away
Fury called people who jumped on him during his mental emotional alcoholic, drug, suicidal crisis, Haters. Is he not doing the same thing to AJ? jumping on him during a crisis of two big defeats while he’s down.
Who believes this crud. They only have 10 (ish) weeks to sell this fight, so they pretend both sides are holding back. One calls the other scared and vice versa. Only way to put some spice on it with such short notice. The promoters are way too greedy to run with Charr over the Battle of Britain.
The fight will sell on it ‘s own merit. A lot of buildup isn’t required for this one.
This very pathetic fighter Fury supposedly retired. I think he did so, so he could pick and choose who he fights when he’s ready. He wants to make the most money possible, fighting as seldom as possible. Lazy, opportunistic, loud-mouth bum, a Humpty-dumpty on stilts. Please go away.
If AJ wont sign then he will never see a big payday or huge payday like this one.
I just this guy to go away.
AJ signs and Fury retires! Just kidding but if the fight won’t happen the Fury vs Ruiz would be great. Andy said he would step up.
The new Tyson Fury talks the same as before, but when the bell rings, he is brutal.
The new Tyson Fury, talks like that, and is brutal when the bell rings.
The old Tyson Fury, talked like that, and how can I say this – fought much less aggressive.
In AJ’s last fight, he literally looked like he had bad muscle memory trained into him intentionally.
