Confirmed?
Fair fucks to him, staying very active and picking off the opponent's.

Watched that Bruno/Tyson documentary on Sky the other night. Decent watch for any boxing fans.

Same here - it's a good insight because I wouldn't really have been abl to connect the dots of his struggles (bit before my time to be fair)...........

He’s always gonna get haters but no one can deny he’s always fought the best constantly. Be a great fight that also

Finally the deal is signed. Date and venue not yet announced but I’m assuming it’s summer and in the US
Cant wait. Hope Fury boxes his head off

May the best man win, would prefer it's AJ myself but if not so be it. I just hope it's a good fight with no controversy.

I suspect it will be a show and they'll win 1 each. Agreeing a 2 fight deal outright just stinks of some sort of agreement.

Certainly seems odd but it could just be a bilateral rematch clause which wouldn’t be surprising for a fight like this. The media always find interesting ways to report on these things so I wouldn’t be surprised if some of it was embellished and it was in fact a simple rematch clause with perhaps a bit more meat on the bones to ensure there’s no ducking and the loser gets another shot at the belts.
It could also be a case of both camps being wary of losing and wanting to agree on the financials for the rematch so that the winner wouldn’t have more leverage in deciding how to split the purse (or even the venue, date, etc) - they’ve gone for 60/40 to the winner of the first bout for the rematch.
Only way Joshua wins for me though is if Fury throws one of the fights or he gets incredibly lucky. Fury is a far better boxer in my opinion

If I were to script it now, Fury wins the first fight on points without damaging the Joshua brand by knocking him out.
Joshua then gets the stoppage victory in the second fight then Fury retires.
But I'm a cynical sod.
A fight like this is really tough to call for me. Fury is a brilliant boxer but he's neither the most active in the ring AND can be hit. Meanwhile Joshua is improving with every fight it seems but he's a bit of a plodder at times and he's got a size disadvantage.
