Heavyweight Boxing

Why would Fury be abusing AJ if he wants him to sign a contract, he's giving him an easy way out.

I don't think either of them want it now. They know the money will still be there in a few years and it'll be even bigger if AJ somehow finds his way back to holding a belt.

the fight wont happen in a few years realistically, if fury beats Usyk and wins undisputed i cant imagine he would fight AJ and give him the chance to win all the belts he will probably walk away undefeated and live his life

But saying that it wouldnt surprise me to see fury throw away all the belts just to fight him lol hes so unpredictable, he lives his life like one of his fights, nobody knows what is coming next

3 times this fight has been close to coming together but didn't happen for one reason or another

AJ and Fury are considered the two best British heavyweights probably ever by today's boxing fans so a fight between them will be a huge seller no matter when it happens. I think it's an easy fight for Fury. I can't see Usyk wanting any part of Fury either. He has no hope of getting near Tyson, Tyson is too smart and too good for a man with his height and reach to be troubled by a small man like Usyk.

Only guy I'd say Tyson wants to avoid is Joyce who is tall enough, busy enough and jabs well enough to give Tyson problems.

AJ wants to get back to winning ways and get a belt before he faces Fury.Two reasons for that which are more money and some belief going into the fight. I'd guess his confidence is low right now and it's very possible that he doesn't believe he can beat Fury. I don't think he'll ever beat Tyson but he needs to believe he can before he gets in the ring with him.

AJ will avoid Fury and the avoid Wilder

I reckon next big fight for AJ will be Joyce hell think he can beat him

The issue is Fury knows he needs a run out before the Usyk fight,

In a perfect world he should do what he UFC do & have an alternative someone easy like Charr who could step in on very short notice but the problem with boxing is they don't do "cards" they do a main event's so you can't sell it without knowing what the main event will be,

Only 2 months out now ,surely you can see the rush, IF it falls through they need to then start the process all over again with someone else who will now demand more as they know its getting desperate ,

Also these guys are World champions with Ego's well one is now,, Fury is giving AJ a chance doesn't currently deserve a lifeline in the division he does not want it to come across as AJ has control of the situation which is exactly how Hearn is trying to play this,

A lot of the boxing world is turning on AJ & Hearn the more it drags out its becoming clear the issues is on there side,

Of course Fury needs a warm up he is not stupid, Do you believe everything boxer's say ?

Do you think Ali could turn off the light & be in bed before it got dark , Did you think Mike was going to eat Lewis children or is it just Fury that you take everything he says as Gospel ,

I would think AJ wants it, Hearn doesn't.

Time to move on.

Looking forward to seeing Wilder in action next week.

He fought back in April & it'll be close to a year until he fights Usyk

Usyk strength is his mobility, The one thing Fury needs is to be sharp, & his timing on point,

You can spar all you want , train all you want but you need to be in the ring to get your timing & sharpness on point, Makes it more important when you can blow up like Fury can between fights,

Strangely its not the actually fight its self that is important its the knowledge that you need it be ready for a fight, It makes them 8 or 9 weeks of training mean so much more, its makes everything way more intense & everything you do becomes sharper , cleaner, that happens even a lowest level we would have done back in the day ,

Yes you can train hard without a fight but its not the same , when you have a fight you know your not putting yourself on the line everything chances ,Fury needs them 8 or 9 weeks on top of the 8 or 9 he gets for Usyk

I'm a big fan of both fighters ,

One thing iv said on here for years to you even back when Fury fought Wlad is people overlook how clever Fury is ,

He knows the game inside out , he knows exactly where his strengths & more importantly weakness are &

Fury knows Usyk best chance of victory is if Fury is not sharp & his timing is off, He knew from the second AJ got beat he needed another fight this year because of this, If it was AJ he'd wait till spring

I think Fury has all the tools to beat Usyk & favour him but i also think if Fury is active he makes it easier for himself,

For example against Wilder actively wouldn't have helped Fury , he was better off having time off to recover because he knew he'd take some big shots & he knew taking no damage for a longer period would help him,

Its all about being smart & preparing for fighters accordingly

admirable for you to look out for AJ 😁

15:54 for fury v aj

sounds like Hearn and co are taking instruction from fury on his instagram rather than dealing with George Warren and the legal team and getting the contract signed which sounds bizarre

When Hearn was new on the scene he was a breath of fresh air.

Now he has turned into the same as the rest of them (Arum, Warren) - bitter and totally engulfed in his ego and the politics of boxing (which is killing the sport).

I was at a wedding in Boston a few weeks back chatting with some cousins, all in late 20s to early 40s. None of them watched boxing or new anything about it. All about the UFC.

It's easy to see why.

I watched Joyce again the other night. I think if AJ is smart and clever, fit and cute, he punches the head off Joyce all night. Joyce is fierce slow…and of course, if AJ really connects clean? I know, some ifs in there!!!

Yes. I’d worry about AJs resilience and chin, but everywhere else he absolutely pummels Joyce, as well as him landing harder/heavier than Parker.

Joyce still to be actually proper tested. One thing walking down Parker (who is an average hitter) compared to AJ, who, when he gets it right, has heavy power.

I see Usyk’s manager is now talking about Dec 3 v Fury being a possibility. FFS, Fury…what are ya at, lad? It be Mike Tyson next!
