Is Tyson Fury the biggest fraud in boxing?

Personally, I think AJ’s a bigger fraud. They knew he wasn’t good enough to face Fury so they avoided him at all costs.

Yeah he should’ve signed the the contract within the few days he had to sign it.
Not like Tyson is dragging his heals now though eh?

Very sensible off the back off two defeats. He needs a couple of tune up fans before he thinks about getting back in with anyone of Fury's calibre.

No different from Fury fighting a few bin men after a long lay off before fighting Wilder. Which was also sensible.

Joshua's been fighting at the top level for a long time now and he's just been well beaten twice by Usyk. His head will be all over. He needs at least one, probably two confidence builders before he thinks about getting in with a Fury or a Joyce. It's always been like that. It's nothing new.

Remember Amir Khan knocking a nobody out at Newcastle in the first roundafter he'd been knocked out by Prescott then beat Berrera next.

Hatton beat a nobody after being beaten by Mayweather before going on to beat malinaggi and then fighting Pacquio.

They are just the first two examples I thought of but boxing has always been like that. Joshua was daft for saying he would take the fight, but his team sensibly talked him out of it. This is the right path for him if he's got any hopes of being a champion again.

If he had went to fight Fury now, I would have looked at it as him cashing in on one final pay day to be honest

This is before the defeats! Everyone wanted to see Fury V Joshua years ago but Hearn kept swerving it, presumably to earn more in the long run. He’ll have known how limited AJ is.

I think his chance at that fight has long since gone now, he’ll probably win his next one and start shouting his mouth off again and we’ll go through the same boring spiel.

Fury v Joshua couldn't happen because of the rematch clauses in the Wilder Fury contract. Fury tried to get out of the third fight but lost a court case.

Unfortunately that was probably the right time for both fighters for it to happen.

Also a purse couldn't be agreed. At that point AJ wanted 60/40 in his favour and Fury wouldn't fight for less than 50/50 as he felt it should be equal split for undisputed fight. Its ironic really because now Fury won't accept the 50/50 split with Usyk and want 70/30.

The man is a walking contradiction
 
Absolutely bizarre the mental gymnastics people carry out on this site to defend one fighter and then criticise an other.

Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk has a new target date

Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk will take place at the end of April, Frank Warren has revealed. The undisputed heavyweight world title fight is known to be in advanced negotiations to potentially take…

I read this earlier, it's still backing up the points further up the thread. Usyk has agreed his deal (and did weeks ago), the date has been pushed back because Fury has still not signed his side.

They are still talking about Wembley as an alternative if Fury doesn't agree his side (not Usyk). They know that Usyk won't agree to Fury's demands at Wembley because Fury wants 70/30 and Usyk wants 50/50. So that's not going to happen.

Fury is throwing alternative opponenets out there, most notably Ngannou for a lucrative exhibition fight.

Let's get it straight, the fight isn't signed because Fury hasn't agreed a deal, and it's been going on weeks. Usyk is ready to go. How long did Fury give Joshua before he pulled out? 10 Days? 2 Weeks? This has been going on six or seven weeks,
this is what people are sick of, the contradictions.

I still don't think this fight will happen.
 
“Where it takes place I genuinely think will be determined within the next six or seven days maximum.

“If we can’t do what we’re being asked to do with Tyson and Usyk [in Saudi Arabia], then the fight will take place in the UK.”

Well today is day 7 Warren, let's hear it.

Totally priced himself out of the Usyk fight.
Wouldn't accept a deal in the middle east after Usyk had signed his contract.

Booked a date at Wembley and offering Usyk crappy terms that he knows he won't accept.

Now throwing alternative oppponents names out there for the Wembley date.
