They all scared of Wilder lol.

Luis Ortiz was supposed to fight Wilder, but got caught using a banded substance that can be used to mask steroid use.

And Joshua ducking. Smh. But Ortiz is still Joshua mandatory even with the scandal.
 
I havent been keeping up with the heavyweight div, mainly the middleweight.

What's up with this Fury? Why hasn't he fought in 2 years?

The business of boxing. You don’t want to take that loss until it is financially feasible. Because the first 1 to lose moves to the B side of the card and money. When the money is right and worth the possibility of a loss they will fight.
 
Idk, i aint hype to see any 3 of em fight till they fight each other. Its been 2 years since homie fought, like cmon b lol



I'm glad the middleweights are keepin this sport afloat and fighting the best.

and the funny thing is that people always glamorize past as when "the best fought the best"
such bullshit.....



promoters traditionally manipulated dimwitted fighters to taking and making fights that they had little to no input in to make the promoter money...and when one went down the next took his place.....it was essentially as barbaric as dog fighting.....

but because boxers are humans....eventually the fighters got smart enough to start calling their own shots....

btu since promoters are classically richer and more established in the fight game than any one fighter....they also control the media, and often shape the perception of smarter fighters as cowards and cherry pickers....and dimwitted fighters as "old school" warriors who don't care who they fight and all that shit.....

Tyson Fury has been out of action owing to his well-publicised problems outside the ring
Fury hasn't fought since November 2015 when he stunned Wladimir Klitschko on points in Dusseldorf to win the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO heavyweight world titles.

A rematch was scheduled for 2016 but Fury dropped out twice, because he was deemed 'medically unfit' to box.

Fury recently ranted at British boxing chief Robert Smith following cousin Hughie's controversial loss to Joseph Parker for a world title last month.

Taking to the microphone in Manchester, Fury claimed: "How long must I be held up and kept out of action?

Tyson Fury shocked the world when he won 'all the belts' by ending Wladimir Klitschko's reign
Fury unofficially retired in July, saying: "Been very blessed in my life & career achieve the upmost in boxing, was a epic journey along the way.

"Thanks to all the fans that supported & believed in me along the way.

"Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. THE END."

But SunSport last week how the 'gypsy king' admitted he would NOT apply for a licence with the BBBofC and instead look elsewhere.

Tyson Fury may well have applied to a boxing board outside of the UK, or even outside of Europe

In a scarcely comprehensible tweet, Fury followed up his claim that he will "not be applying for a BBBOCboxinglicense. After they way they have handled stuff. No thanks". (sic)

He later tweeted: "Make it Clare I'll not apply to the BBBOC for a new Licance I'll go elsewhere, take my money & bisuness to somewhere that appreciate it." (sic).

SunSport has contacted the BBBofC for comment.
 
There are less than 10 people who control the entire sport of boxing. The biggest of whom is Al Haymon. @ Goldie you should study him. He is a lawyer who became one of the biggest concert promoters in the US. He moves in the the shadows and is rarely seen. He is the PBC. Also, the father of the twins that you see in the ring all the time is his right hand man. No on is sure what he does exactly because it is illegal to be a promoter and a manager. But after almost every non Mexican fight your hear the fighter say I want to thank Al Haymon. From Floyd on down. Haymon is a real bad man. In what you guys would call gangster. He controls more than Dela Hoya, Duva, Top Rank and even Hearn in the UK.

but yea, 6 months into his company being launched,

bob arum and oscar de la hoya go together and tried to sue al haymon for monopolizing boxing.....

6 months bruh......

these motherfuckers been running promotions for decades...al haymon starts pbc for 6 months and they calm,ining monopoly......

lol crazy
 
He used to work with them. He was a manager and they were promoters. He got all his fighters to start their own promotion companies to cut those guys out and he would handle the TV contracts and stuff through PBC. But he still takes a large cut and has control over most of boxing. They refuse to do business with him unless absolutely necessary

al haymon always been floyd advisor..and when floyd started making smarter moves tot he advice of haymon....all of a sudden he's a cherry picker who "ducks" fighters....all coincidentally bob arum fighters.....bob hates black men in boxing making money without him.....don king prolly the only one he liked

Ima see if I can find some short docs or interviews with homie.

Won’t be too many new interviews. He doesn’t do them. He was the promoter of the Budweiser superfest. But you guys might not remember that.(no diss). All large black R& B tours back in the day was his. He made a lot of demands you had to work with him. He wanted a piece of the official after parties and everything.
