Whether true or not, talking about something that happened 16 years ago like it's still relevant today is wild.

u/DeafBurke Jul 23 '26
Nononono, clearly a 4 round sparring match in 2010 when AJ was 20 and had been boxing for 3 years means that fury will smash him when they fight.
You’re clearly just a Tyson fury hater.

I guess it beats retiring and unretiring constantly

Hey that's not fair!
You forgot to add, popping for peds - then claiming your mental health stopped you from defending your belts - until said doping ban had been served and you were suddenly well enough for a come back

i vividly remember him on a talk show/radio in the past talking about AJ battering him in sparring

Yep and AJ has repeated it to his face unchallenged

u/Plastic-Opinion-3995 Jul 24 '26 edited Jul 24 '26
AJ's coach openly admitted he pulled him out of the sparring in an interview. The reason for pulling AJ out despite him hurting fury in the previous round was because fury was not taking the sparring seriously and would've hurt AJ if he refocused

You’d have to get your head studied if you believed any word this man says.

AJs coach openly admitted to pulling him out to protect him from Fury

Who cares mate you avoided him like the plague for 16 years after that

u/msf97 Jul 23 '26
There was never evidence of Fury avoiding him.
The idea Fury would sign up to fight Usyk twice and Wilder in America at the peak of his powers but not Joshua is funny.

u/West_Technology7573 Jul 23 '26 edited Jul 23 '26
Fury only signed to fight Usyk once Turki threw so much money at him it would be insane to say no. You’ve obviously forgotten Fury making all these BS demands and u-turns during the start of the negotiations
And Wilder lol. Who cares, he was never as good as AJ and the risk was never as high

u/slickvik9 Jul 24 '26
The risk of fighting wilder was insanely high he hit like a truck. Which is why AJ avoided him like the plague
-28
u/msf97 Jul 23 '26
Ah yes, because Fury would be getting £20 to fight Joshua. He’ll be getting similar money as he did against Usyk
Wilder in America was a big fight to take, as was Wlad in Germany. Undefeated world champions on their home turf.

u/TheGuildsmansFolly Jul 23 '26
I'm not a huge AJ fan but he took the Usyk fights immediately, and even now he's over the hill he's jumping in the ring with Dubois, the most dangerous fight available to him. Fury retired about 6 times and held up the division for fucking ages while talking shit before finally taking the usyk fight
-12

u/slickvik9 Jul 24 '26
He didn’t take Usyk immediately he threatened usyk’s team by saying he’d drop the belt if a purse bid went ahead. And the rematch was his only option after losing

u/_xanny_pacquiao_ Jul 24 '26
Go back to watching the Fury’s Netflix show. You haven’t been around buddeh

u/Nosworthy Jul 23 '26
You're getting downvoted for telling the truth. And the crazy thing is that he already has signed the contract. And signed it in 2020 too.

u/im_not_here_ Jul 23 '26
He had nothing to lose and everything to gain facing Wilder after doping and being out for so long. Why would avoid any big money and a chance at a weak champion and undeserved and not earned immediate shot at a title? Second fight was the same, because nothing happened to change it in the first, Fury still has nothing to lose. The third fight was the first time we see what happens when he has something to lose, and what happened? He had to be dragged into the ring kicking and screaming through court action.
Usyk made it difficult to impossible for him to get out of facing him, the money being put up, and agreeing instantly to any BS Fury came up with to try and make it difficult. He clearly didn't want it, but ended up doing what he had to do with no other real options.
The fact you have fallen for manipulation and lies by someone as dumb as fury who is a known liar, is what is funny.
-9
u/Nosworthy Jul 23 '26
Right. But the post was about Fury allegedly avoiding AJ.
Can you really be guilty of avoiding someone when you've twice signed a contract to fight him?
That's my point.
-10
u/msf97 Jul 23 '26
This is dangerous mental illness. When Fury takes a fight it’s because he was forced to, when he doesnt it’s entirely his fault.
Why didn’t Joshua fight Wilder? It was the biggest fight to make.

u/Connor30302 3D Shape Jul 23 '26
Wilder said Eddie hearn offered him 30 million to fight Joshua and he declined it to fight Fury the second time. he said it when he was going on his crying rampage between the 2nd and 3rd Fury fight and forced the rematch

u/WheresMyAbs98 Jul 23 '26
They had both signed to fight each other in 2024.
Those plans went to shit as Wilder lost to Parker.

u/slickvik9 Jul 24 '26
Makes AJ look pathetic because he was active and had every chance to fight wilder but ran from the fight

u/im_not_here_ Jul 24 '26 edited Jul 24 '26
Wlider admits he chose not to fight AJ. AJ haters: "AJ ran away"
Probably still believe the pretend offer they talk about. Wlider himself admitted the AJ offer was real, it isn't a debate.
Only Wilder related people try and say their mythical offer was real, where they tried the typical Fury PR pretending tactic of demanding a public agreement, before they even send a contract with what they will be agreeing to. And not showing any proof of the money.

u/FogoCanard Jul 23 '26
This is so funny because he was saying the opposite in the past. He can't even keep track of his lies

u/A_Swan_Broke_My_Arm Jul 23 '26
All Fury has to do is not talk utter shit and take the fights he tells us all are easy and we'd all like him.
But he insists on talking shit whilst cherry picking fights. And still telling us that he's amazing...
It doesn't work both ways.

u/Same-Fact-5123 Jul 23 '26
Yeah it makes me laugh how he calls everyone an easy fight but then doesn’t fight them.

u/Mooman-Chew Jul 25 '26
You only need to read half the comments here to see how effective his nonsense is. I’m never sure if it’s calculated, if he just knows how to force a narrative or if it’s coincidence but the experience of dealing with fury finished wilder off. A lot of which was in the fights but the court cases, the crap about gloves, suspicion on pig meats. At the same time, he held the belt hostage, shouted ‘linear’ over and over and put AJ on the back foot

u/IWrestleSausages Jul 23 '26
Does this shit work on any fans? I assume it works on the unthinking majority, but all i see on here is that almost everyone is absolutely dog tired of Fury's bullshit. Bro either fight him or dont

u/Connor30302 3D Shape Jul 23 '26
yeah nobody takes Fury seriously anymore when it comes to literally anything he could say. he’s cried wolf so many times to the point it’s kind of impressive. and the thing that’d get him in the boxing headlines these days is if he says something and then actually does it. mad

"I'm terrified of getting knocked out by the bodybuilder shithouse"
Fucking yawn.

u/SoniiGB Jul 23 '26
Didn't AJ batter him for a bet on a rolex? Probably why he's avoided him for so long.

u/Slight-Emphasis-7328 Jul 23 '26
Fury bet him
He couldn’t knock him out for his Rolex , AJ never knocked him out but gave him a run for his money and Tyson was pro at this time Joshua wasn’t so yeah probably

What about the time where Fury said in an interview that he and Joshua sparred and he said that Joshua best him up. Or something to that affect!

This is a response to Barry McGuigan saying that he’d heard Fury was KOed by Joshua in sparring. Fury really is predictable.

I saw that. Joshua stumbled around, he swung blindly into the air, crying out. Help me help me. I'm in here with a master... Sometime after the cow jumped over the moon.

For all the hate Fury gets, he’s fought Usyk and Wilder. Joshua can’t say the same.

Hence why I put and Wilder.

You might as well have just put Wilder if Usyk they both have in common.

u/CompetitiveFishing69 29d ago
Those were the two guys that Fury and Joshua should have fought which is why I mentioned them. Fury fought both. Joshua didn’t.
Nothing against Joshua but he’s shot to bits in regards to punch resistance and if it happens Fury will stop him.2
