LondonRingRules Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 --- Yupsir, the heavies are moving like wildfire these days. Dunno what this deal does to the Deyonce rematch, but overall Fury moving to primarily american promotions. We'll see if his noggin can survive it's already substantial expansion without blowing a screw loose.

selij Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Re: *** Fury signs with Top Rank!!! $80m for 30mths deal. Nice work if you can get it. Blows Deyonce II out of the water and also any potential clash with AJ too - probably suits him, as he doesnt have to fight either of the best heavyweights in the world. With that sort of dollar in his trouser, lets see if he can keep his beak out of a bag of coke long enough to finish Uncle Bob's deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repsac Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Re: *** Fury signs with Top Rank!!! I guess this means a showdown with either Parker, or Pulev some time later this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robprosser Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Re: *** Fury signs with Top Rank!!! Good deal for Fury. Big reward for low risk. He now has a get out clause for not facing the 2 best HWs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cableaddict Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Re: *** Fury signs with Top Rank!!! Do we know this? For $80 mil, I would think they'd stipulate fights with both Wilder AND AJ. If Fury were to fight the Parkers of the world, then Top Rank would never recoup their investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sould664 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Re: *** Fury signs with Top Rank!!! With Oquendo randomly (or not so) pulling out of the Charr fight am I the only one who thinks that it'll be Fury V Charr for the WBA World Heavyweight strap so that Fury can walk around with one too?

sould664 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Re: *** Fury signs with Top Rank!!! I see it like this first half of the year: Joshua V Miller Fury V Charr Wilder V Kownacki Usyk V Povetkin Parker V Chisora Whyte V Breazeale Second half bit harder to tell but we might get something along the lines of Joshua V Pulev Wilder V Whyte Fury V Parker Usyk V Who knows (Miller,Kownacki, Chisora, Breazeale.. Could got for Joshua?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say, that makes a lot of sense. Puts Wilder in an odd spot, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonRingRules Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 Re: *** Fury signs with Top Rank!!! --- Perhaps I'm too pedantically oriented, but we have over 10 months to make fights, and Big Baby vs Josh is hardly a mug fight. Whyte vs Breazeale ain't even sighed yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
