    Fury said he wouldn’t fight in the UK again.

    Enjoy it because it’ll more than likely be their last fight or their penultimate fight if they have a rematch.

    I favour Fury by late stoppage. I think he’s got more to his game & will break Joshua down bit by bit but he’s unpredictable & if the Fury that fought Otto Wallin turns up Joshua will win.

    Agree. Think Tyson would've clattered the pair of them in his prime.

    Fury also said he was drinking 20 pints of lager every night and wasn't training, just four weeks ago.

    I love the bloke, and that's one of the reasons why. He talks b*******.

    There was zero chance of 90,000 in Wembley this summer. Because of COVID.

    But if there had been, and Hearn/Arum/Warren told Fury that was where the most cash was, Tyson would be fighting in the UK. As would AJ.

    They're fighting in Saudi because of the cash.

    The sports is rigged and unfortunately Joshua will win leading to a trilogy where Fury takes the second and Joshua wins the 3rd

    Sadly they're building him into a hype machine by feeding him old past their prime cans

    How do you explain his defeat to Ruiz then?

    Good point, I actually forgot about that.

    Getting up after being knocked down and all that sells, underdog story to an extent, coming back from adversity etc

    There will be nothing rigged about this fight. Someone will get knocked out.

    The WWE did exactly the same. Acted like they cared about human rights then went and put on shows for cash in Saudi Arabia where their female wrestlers couldn't even compete due to the sexism over there. Formula 1 acts like it has morals yet did the same thing.

    I wouldn't single out fury or Joshua because they're far from the only ones for whom greed is more important than morals but it would be nice to see some of the rich and famous hypocrites say no one day.

    Fury cannot pick a side and when he gets called out on it he churns out the usual "I have been hacked" line celebrities come out with.

    There’s a lot of dodgy aspects to boxing. Hometown judging, hometown refereeing then you’ve got sanctioning bodies following the money rather than giving title shots to who deserve them & you’ve got some seriously dodgy managers in the sport but I’d guarantee this fight won’t be rigged & I don’t think many if any world title fights are bent.

    I still believe there are rigged fights though. Occasionally I’ll see stuff online about a specific round stoppage dropping to really short odds & then the fights won in that round but this won’t be rigged.

    Joshua will win the first fight. Masive build up for rematch that Fury will win. Third fight a draw and by the 4th they will be too old for it to matter.

    I think after all the politics, ******** and to-ing and fro-ing, it's going to be the most boring fight of all time. Joshua is too robotic and predictable to get near Fury. Fury will outwork him but without the hand speed of Ruiz, won't catch him clean enough to stop him but will canter home on points. It'll be a snore fest to rival the Fury Vs Klitschko bout and another 2 fights written into the contract.

    Do you even know anything about boxing though? Serious question. 30 years ago was the Larry Holmes era, it isn't highly regarded.

    Also gotta laugh at the Mike Tyson comment, the myths about him will forever live on lol.
