    It's crazy that someone like Degale is fighting in such a small venue.
    Warren has some quality young fighters but they're all a few years away from going for world titles.
    BT/Warren need to invest massively if they wanna be serious rivals to Sky/Matchroom.
    IF Fury does come back they should go all out and contract him up as their spearhead fighter.
    Like him or hate him Fury is the only fighter who has cross over status with Joe Public and he's worked with Warren before.
    Fury doesn't have crossover status, smash. His rematch with Wlad was binned because they couldn't sell any tickets. Fury is a boxing fans cult hero, crossover stars are on BBC/ITV saturday night talk/game shows.

    Fury has NEVER headlined a major show in the UK. The mainstream will not touch racist/sexist/homophobes, hence why Joshua/Haye/Eubank Jr play the squeaky clean PC card off to a tee and are the most popular fighters in the UK by miles (it helps they're exciting to watch, of course )

    I know he'll never be a media friendly tv star but
    .. I mean more.... a lot of people who are non fight fans know exactly who he is but for all the wrong reasons due to his outbursts, which is why he'll never end up on gameshows etc.
    I do see him as one man who will beat Joshua and Wilder and fairly easily.
    BT would be insane not to back, promote, Hype and televise that journey.
    A tip top and Fit Fury is a nightmare for everyone in the division and will clean up IF he does come back.

    and this is all on the strength of one night in Dusseldorf , where one guy averaged 4 punches a round and the other guy 7 punches a round ?

    Forget how many punches were thrown, Fury won against the fighter AJ was knocked down by and nearly lost.

    Fury has been on mainstream TV channel 5 and is very well known without even trying and mainly for the wrong reasons.

    Fury is at least 18 months away from fighting AJ.

    Makes no difference what Furys punch output is because with his size, height and reach advantages plus his awkward fucked up style he's a nightmare opponent. Not saying it's pretty to watch but it does more than enough to fuck with his opponents head and Nick the rounds.
    I actually think he's completely nullify then start to you with AJ within a few rounds.

    He's just asked Donald Trump to walk him out to the ring if he ends up fighting AJ

    He's known for all the wrong reasons which is why he'll never be a crossover star, that's what i'm saying. You don't fill stadiums with 50,000 nerd/hardcore boxing fans. Obviously none of that matters if he fights Joshua - it will be huge regardless. But to the general public he's a nasty racist/sexist/homophobe drug cheat or a clown.

    When Fury comes back i'm sure all the TV companies will be interested - ITV PPV? YouTube PPV?

    I don't doubt Fury will return at some point, I doubt he'll ever be a threat again. I'd love him to prove me wrong. The first step is getting that license, then a return fight. If he can hold things together that long he may have a chance at getting back in the mix.
