ESPN is reporting that a memorandum of understanding has been sent from Saudi Arabian investors who are committing to cough up a record-smashing $150 million site fee to stage the undisputed heavyweight title fight between WBC champ Tyson Fury and WBA, IBF, WBO champ Anthony Joshua.
Fury and Joshua will both pocket around $75 million each if the deal goes through. The bout is expected to happen in July or August.
Both are well worth that and more! Make both fights this year!
more talk of the fight. i guess its news
Enough yick-yack…get it done for the world to see.
I am with ya on that statement. The foreplay of reading about all this build-up is simply conjecturing until the official contracts are signed, sealed, and done.
Make the fight! I don’t think anyone is worth 75 million. Come on! Ridiculous! I guess it’s going to happen. As far as the fight I see Joshua giving Fury a much harder time than Fury thinks. Fury very awkward n clumsy might be tailor made for Joshua who is the better technician in the ring. This fight will go the distance in a much closer fight than people think. Joshua also the harder puncher.
Agree Joshua has good chance to win-Fury really dosen’t hit hard enough to keep Joshua off him.
Did you call Fury clumsy?? Hahahah Yeah, sure. For his size, he moves around like a middleweight and is very agile. Joshua the better technician?!?!? Wtf??? Fury is going to school Joshua and it’s going to look so easy. Those of you saying “Fury doesn’t hit hard enough to stop Joshua” make me laugh. He’s a 6’9” heavyweight and Joshua doesn’t have the best chin, I wouldn’t be surprised if he floors Joshua more than once.
Your size is your size. Don’t matter if your tall or not if your clumsy your clumsy. Fury all hyped up because he easily defeated the way overrated Wilder in their second fight. Fury best strength is his overconfidence. He believes he can’t lose which is good but he can. Someone will expose him. Might be Joshua.
If Fury dont outweigh his opponent 30-40lbs and/or have a 1-2 ft. height advantage, he will struggle.
Don’t forget nandrolone uncastrated wild boar that he and cousin Hughie got caught with in 2015.
We don’t care about their pay or location. Just announce the fight.
Didnt Joshua get KOed by the little Mexican fella? Give me a break. All jokes aside it’s the best fight to be made in boxing. We know Spence and Crawford will both fight not to loose. This one will be a different story. Joshua is the ultimate corporate guy v a Gypsy. Sells itself.
when the smoke clears it will be nice to see someone undisputed.
In case you guys are in the dark. Fury is still in litigation, playing keep away with from Wilder. This is a ploy to see how much money can be raised to please both fighters and pay Wilder a huge amount of money. And it doesn’t seem Wilder is crazy about the money. Wilder wants the rematch, as agreed. Fury wont fight Wilder now that we know he’s been cheating. If Fury believed he can beat Wilder fairly he would have been fought Wilder for $50 mil and make $100million with AJ this year. Its common sense! Without Wilder saving Fury’s career, we would not be talking Fury.
I read on another website that Wilder said he is not done boxing. However, he did not say if Fury is on the horizon or not.
Aj has got a fair chance to overcome Fury, AJ has got all the mental strength, stamina, body movement, good jab and will keep Fury at bsy just lime he did to Pulev. #AJ is my man.
Yes fury cheated by designing the suit that wilder wore. Remember wilder said the suit was too heavy and made him tired before the fright started. Then Fury cheated by battering him and getting his corner man to throw in the towel. Totally one sided fight – totally exposed wilder as a non boxer just a wild puncher with no plan b. Wilder need to prove he can actually box before anyone pays a cent to see him again
Correction, its 75 million pounds which is 100 million dollars according to today’s exchange rate.
I will put my money on AJ . He is much better fighter than wilder for sure and an underdog. More probability of him causing an upset
