WOAH.....there's no mention of a Tyson Fury vs Tony Bellew
MEGAFIGHT
....anywhere in there @Master , that's the fight that the PEOPLE want!
I can't remember him turning down wilder, I've got a vague recollection of something to do with Joshua, wasn't that when his leprosy was playing him up?Quote:

It was yeah, when he was still beating better opposition than Joshua at 30%. Wilder they wanted more time, Joshua they wanted more dough.Quote:

It's not harsh putting those examples down at all. A month after Tyson beat Wlad, he was offered a shot at Wilder. Team Fury's reply was along the lines of "we've had a hard couple of months, we just want to relax and have a good Christmas."Quote:

So what's more important? Turkey and getting bladdered or the HW Championship of the World?
As for Joshua, they wanted more dough. Ok, fine. I want a blowjob from Michelle Keegan but that ain't happening either!
Hughie Fury has had a very stuttering career, not all his fault, but who the fuck is he and who has he beat to demand bigger money?
Sometimes you have to take the short end of the wedge , prove your point and then take what you deserve.
It looks like Razvan Cojanu will be the replacement. The only good thing about that is Parker stays active, doesn't waste all that training and should come out unscathed to hopefully set up a better opponent for July/ August. They should have fought a non title fight against a better opponent or just cancelled and tried to negotiate the Wilder unification for July.
