Wilder has won his court case , fury must honour the rematch clause , ( which they claimed wilder broke by not activating in time )
So while everyone was excited for a fury v aj fight in august , that is now looking unlikely .
It’s looking like fury v wilder ( again ) aj v usyk , mid year , and should they both win, aj v fury end of year .
Or does Wilder get bought out? $ plus first shot at winner?
Other option risks belts going in all directions again doesn't it?Fury has said he asked for 20 million , not sure if there is any wriggle room with that
Arum has said we won’t be paying him , we will take care of him first , then fight AJ later in the year

Boxing boils my piss
As a sport it is in serious danger of not being relevant soon too, especially with how UFC is going. Boxing icons of yesteryear are a relic of the past unfortunately
At least Paul Gallen is going well though !
At least SBW had the good sense to realise that there it was no more fun and games after he was one round from going to hospital. Gallen will be the next Hopoate. Will build a record beating up bums and half-cripples then get destroyed by a recovering drug addict who was a contender a decade or more prior.
I think a SBW/Gallen fight would be interesting to say the least. Think Ali/Frasier with considerably less skill.

Gallen can actually fight though.

I have an inkling Joe Frasier may have been better.
Gallens power and chin are pretty impressive though. One wonders how he would have gone if he’d started years earlier.

SBW got injured? Which fight? I haven't kept an eye on him apart from chuckling last year when I read what Tyson said
And TBH I think he might have caused SBW a few too many problems, at 53 even!
Mike Tyson Views SBW Fight as "Insult To Boxing" - Wants Real Boxer
Former undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson has not interested in a potential exhibition fight with the likes of Sonny Bill Williams or Paul Gallen. Recently, the 53-year-old retired fighter had discussed the desire to return to the ring, in a few exhibitions, to help raise money for charity.

Surely you remember the Botha fight? The 12 rounder that suddenly became 10 when SBW was on the verge of being knocked out. That was about 8 years ago and I don’t believe he has boxed since despite his generous offer to Iron Mike.

ah that one! So long ago was why it did not click for me, and yes SBW did seem troubled alright, quite lucky for him.
there was one since then but I don't blame you for forgetting Chauncy Weller. -

Imagine if it was a prime Frans Botha ( no seriously, imagine it ) SBW would be in a world of trouble.
Six years is a long time to be inactive in the fight game. Is he still seriously in line to fight Gallen at any stage ?
-
@kiwiinmelb wilder is such a fucking idiot. He could bide his time and just wait out the winner. Taking a couple shitty opponents in the mean time. But no he wants to fuck up the biggest fight in recent history to only lose again.

It’s all a massive joke isn’t it. It would be like taking 13 elite boxers with a basic understanding of league , giving them the best training for a couple of months and then have them play a game against 13 broken down losers who they found in a pub the afternoon of the game.

It's no more a joke than Gallen kicking off a career, after no real boxing ever at the end of his career....
SBW is now mod 30s with some boxing background. Gallen is late 30s and the biggest draw in Aussie boxing. Or are we saying that boxing in Aussie, on indeed, the world is a joke.

Is this an argument against it being a joke?
-
@rancid-schnitzel for it to be an argument I guess there would need to be opposing views. I see no need for debate here 😅
-
@raznomore Easily a future world champ imo. Don't think he'll get gold at Tokyo (Jalolov has his number), but he's well on his way to winning a world title. Fighting Gallen will get him much needed exposure which is very important in the pro game, and whether people like him or not, Lonergan is a good promoter.

Weird how my opinion of these two has flipped. But who knows how much is AJ and how much is his management. That tweet was clearly from the thumbs of Fury 🤣

He definitely went to the same school as @Virgil by the looks of things.

@rancid-schnitzel unless his management team are made up of travellers.....which is highly likely.
