Tyson talks a lot of shit and everyone jumps on it as if its all gospel like when hed retired
The main reason he hasnt fought for so long is because he had to sign his rights away to fight Wlad. The same reason Joshua now has one of Tysons belts.Otherwise Tyson would have had an easy defence against Glazkov first and Hearn would still be manoeuvring Joshua.
Dates and venues had to line up with TV before they could set a date. The Klitschko are notoriously difficult to deal with and the contracts werent finalised until a few weeks ago.
Maybe Tyson is fed up of being tied to Klitschko and doesnt mind the consequences?
I think what could happen is Parker fights Ruiz for WBO and Klitschko fights Brown for WBA with Oquendo stepping aside with guarantee of being first defence.
Mean while Joshua is left looking for someone to fight. This could all affect Joshuas next date because I cant see Hearn really wanting the Klitschko fight. The sanctioning bodies arent likely to risk being sued by just saying ok you two just fight for these belts, fuck the ranked contenders next in line and then they are contracted to seperate TV channels. Like Hearn said, things will move on and they will. No one is going to wait further for him to organise a huge fight which in reality wouldnt happen until 2017.
