Comments Thread For: Joshua Throws Water at Tyson Fury's Lineal Champion Claim

[Boxingfanatic75]

Possibly but not for 4 years and an organisation has definitely not been as accommodating as the WBC have for Wilder. Am I bothered? No who cares so long as I’m seeing great fights he can keep avoiding his mandatory because Breazeale is Ass. And I talking a 300 lbs woman with thongs on. That type of ass

Well you and I can agree on that one

[REDEEMER]

Yes it is. The linear HW title is the Ring ****zine belt which Fury was stripped of about a year ago for inactivity. It can only be won or lost in the Ring, and it does trace back to John L Sullivan. You and Josh should read a book or two on boxing history.

No one holds the ring ****zine belt it is vacant so that is false. The lineal title is a fantasy label that boxing went by and it's idiotic because the actual lineage is the WBA belt. The ring ****zine belt was around in Sullivan's time? Maybe you need to be the one reading ? Ha

Yes I won’t argue with that assessment. However do you recall Winkel saying Joshua signature is not on the contract then later in another video stating it didn’t need to be. Honestly I don’t get embroiled with all the promoter talk. Fans are giving Hearn legendary status because he has the ability to evoke so much emotion( negative mostly) out of individuals. Similar to Floyd in some respects. Media want to talk to Hearn more than fighters which shouldn’t be the case.

At least finally we shall see some real heavyweight action in 2019..no more excuses

I agree only now even though Tyson only has his lineal title to cling to I think he is in a better position than he ever was even when beating Klitschko. You see if Fury insists in negotiations he is only willing to fight in the U.K. because he feels wilder got a home cooked decision he is well within his rights to insist on that. However, unfortunately as the WBC champion Wilder is well in his rights to say no especially with the understanding he could look to Joshua where he would earn more money as the possibility of being undisputed.

Fury could well say skip Wilder I want Joshua but 50/50. Fans would say it’s fair but as AJ holds the belt he does deserve the lion share of the money but who knows. 40% in my opinion is Fury bottom percentage.

Either way if Fury is not in a mega fight next whoever was negotiating with him will be blamed. Fury is in a win win situation. He deserves it though he should have the WBC strap

Sorry for the broken link, but here's the money quote from the piece I was trying to link to:
“Wilder can come to the fight against Povetkin, sure he can, but he also wanted to get in the ring,” Joshua said via givemesport. “But I said, ‘You ain’t getting in the ring unless you sign the contract to fight me. You’re not going to make your name out of this, just sign the contract,’” Joshua said.

I know, I know, the contract! The contract with no date or venue, although Wilder had made it clear that he'd agreed to the flat rate on the condition the fight took place in September. How convenient! Hahaha! Keep slurping that *****!

Oh yeah... He couldn't sign AJ's contract with no date and venue but will quickly sign with unfit fury with no date and venue.

Lolx. .....i can understand where you are coming from.

totally agree..perception is everything as considering fury has charmed the us public with his recent display in and out of the ring hes in such a powerful position that was unimaginable months ago..it must drive joshua insane that many americans consider fury the top heavyweight on the scene, which he is until proven otherwise in my opinion

Let's see, Wilder agreed to take the flat fee in exchange for the fight to be their next fight. That's what they AGREED to. So if it wasn't in the contract, do the math. Save the mandatory bull****, they never included the language in the contract before the surprise 24 hour enforcement was ever mentioned.

With Fury, they obviously didn't feel the need to have that ironed out because there wasn't the same issue with money. DUH!!!!

Don't forget buddy, the real point of my comment that you ignored was that your girl was too scared to let Wilder in the ring with her. Straight from her mouth.

My point still remains that no Interpol was attached to wilder from entering the ring on the contrary.

An ambitious man would have locked down that contract irrespective of the date and venue.

Getting to a mandatory position is hard work and a serious org should sanction it if unification or undisputed can't be achieved.

One org we all know has sanctioned just one mandatory in 4yrs against voluntary defences.

That's seems a more better approach I guess. Huh!!

[Califire209]

It's not like there was special forces attached to him not to leave the commentary section. It's part of the antics to make him sign the contract. He got shook and found an excuse not to be ring side despite being offered to be paid.

AJ did not want to have Wilder face-to-face with him in the Ring like a little punk,, but Wilder didn't turn down Fury when he was ringside after he knocked out Szpilka.
Come on get out of here with that got shook crap, bro you already know who the shook one is and it's AJ

[Califire209]

What's the point when they've both stated they don't want to fight him next? I think Joshua should block these two chumps out and clear out the rest of the division until one of them comes begging. Whyte 2, Miller, Ortiz, Pulev, Kownaki, Usyk there's plenty of other opponents without having to fight the other two drama Queens. Imo Fury has a massive shot of beating Josh but Joshua has nearly all the belts and therefore has nearly all the power.

Have you been properly following everything that's been going on? Wilder was getting dycked around by Eddie Hearn and AJ so Tyson Fury saved face for the UK and fight Wilder now the rematch is bigger
