and we've got to talk about Tyson Fury
and what is going on you know it's
coming Frank I can see your face already
we've sort of touched on it a little bit
um the whole situation with Tyson Fury
in a way has infuriated a lot of fact in
the sense of what's happening with him
when are we next seeing him in the ring
is he gonna fight this person is he
going to fight that person
where are we at with everything with him
well he's gonna we'll be announcing
something soon he is fighting he's gonna
fight
um
we as I say would be announcing that in
the next week or so it's more or less a
done deal
um don't ask me you because I'm not
going to go down that road or where or
when but um he will fight in the
meantime
you know people The Narrative was
controlled at the time by
using a lot of people balled into what
was well when I repeat what I said
earlier you know that fight uh we were
desperate to get it on but it was all
going to be back going on with in Saudi
they asked us to pull Tyson at these
fight last December so they could put it
on February had we done that Tyson would
have had a fight
because then they were talking about
doing on April 29th that got postponed
and then they're talking about doing it
at the end of the at the end of the year
and then last week they were talking
about maybe moving that date now to the
uh to the January
um 24.
um
the reason osik wants to fight dad
because as you heard what Joe you know
Joe said they get paid far far more
money than we would get from a gate here
you know or an event doing it here
because they'll pad premiums and put the
event on
um Tyson wants you to get the fight and
we made we made various various um
moves to try and make that happen and it
just didn't happen it was nothing to do
with Tyson it was the fact the truth for
the matter is the bottom line is is that
usick wants to take walk away with what
he feels he's going to get 70 75 million
dollars to do the fight
in December or early next year and I'll
get that and understand it but that
wasn't Tyson's fault Tyson was willing
to take less money to make the fight
here what does the timeline now work for
you with Tyson Fury then yeah that's the
key we're not we're not being dictated
but to anybody what's going to happen
we've we'd have been sitting around
waiting that which has been happening
and that's not the Saudis that's not
skill challenges for because they've
made it very clear that they can't put
the put any fights on till late December
now pushing it back again they made that
very clear what is clear is that the
other Fighters don't want to jeopardize
a big payday by fighting on in the
interview it's the same thing that's
going on at the moment with uh with AJ
he doesn't want to fight that you know
why did why why is he not fighting
dillian white why didn't he fight Tyson
Fury for 60 40. all those reasons are
because he didn't want to jeopardize a
big payday that he's supposed to be
getting if he fights uh Deontay Wilder
that is the true for the matter in the
meantime Tyson was willing to fight in
both here at Wembley we had the dates
book everything pencils dates pencil in
everything for it but they were not
interested
and that's the truth of the matter as
you can imagine we're getting reaction
on social media and everywhere and of
course it's whether you care for it or
not but for example Matthew Gould here
said about Tyson Fury the most inactive
Champion ever can't be bothered to hear
anything about him for example now Tyson
Fury does take to social media he does
put out videos telling us this
potentially is going to happen something
is happening on the horizon does that in
a way make your diff your job more
difficult because you're having to deal
with these videos that sometimes don't
lead to anything when do you lose it
last fight
um lost to August wasn't it well ties
has been more active than him
at the start we had two fights last year
and he would have fought again if Saudi
Arabia delivered if skills challenge
said what they were trying to do come on
come on
in April 29th yeah we're gonna compare
to fighting criteria 06 full uh oh six
fault Joshua and your boy's fault Derek
chisora no he thought he's mandatory at
Wembley he thought he's mandatory and
went and the reason
is because usik was not ready to fight
you understand that but you're comparing
records so I'm pulling up
no no I'm answering the question the
question put back activity he said he
was inactive he's not been inactive he's
been fighting and he would have fought
more this year had the the fights that
was proposed been put through if he
hadn't a full chisor or anybody in
December he would have been inactive
waiting for this fight to happen until
the first quarter of 2024 so please do
me a favor but surely there's only two
fights for Tyson Fury at this stage in
his career so Joshua fight and it's a
you sick fight those are the two fights
that the world wants to see but those
are the two phones
is that fair I don't think the world
would watch a fight against Joe Joyce or
Zing Zang I think when they when when uh
Daniel Dubois knocks over knocks over
who's sick they'll watch that if he
beats you sick and I think people will
want to see uh Fury in Dubai and that's
what happens but but I think those are
the two we can't sit around waiting for
waiting for something to happen we've
got to make do the best we can under the
circumstances and and we've got to make
make the Right Moves but we feel
all the right things to do and and as I
just said there's no you talk about
inactivity there's another guy's it is
pretty much been actively inactive is is
uh Joshua and he didn't want the fight
we offered Joshua to fight 64. he didn't
want it yeah so wait but he's not yeah
last December you mean but that's an
unfair comparison Frank because he was
offered it in December yeah I know he's
just come off the back of a meaningful
set of fights against us if it was the
other way around you wouldn't have
suggested for Joshua
a couple of months ago was not coming
off of a win
um okay that's fine okay that's true but
there's a background narrative that's
built up and it's been allowed to build
up by Tyson there's lots of noise and
you don't like it and you get all
defensive about it right a lot of noise
he's a WBC champion in the world we
listened to him last year but he wasn't
going to fight he found it about saying
he wasn't going to fight didn't pay his
million pound bet to Piers Morgan when
he did fight right and we've got a WBC
champion here that seems to be given
latitude by the WBC which is all because
he's such a meaningful Champion he
doesn't have to fight until he feels
like it I mean
hang on a minute it's less it's just
over a year ago that he had his
mandatory right okay so his mandatory is
not due yet it's not latitude how long
does that how long so he can have a
manager of 18 months can he uh it's
unless it's called for and it was called
for because what they said is that
um uh Deontay Wilder had to fight Ruiz
and the winner of that would be the
mandatory that was what they called for
and neither of those wanted to fight
each other so there's no mandatory
that's not Tyson Fury put aside
mandatory then for the purpose of this
conversation insert meaningful then
way too meaningful fights all year we've
been trying to make too many full fights
why don't they want to fight Tyson Fury
because they're waiting to get these big
paydays but no one's had a contract
offer yet from sorry that's what's so
weird about it there's nothing weird
about it what it is is they have they
are they are convinced that they will
get these offers and maybe they will but
they've said that they may they may have
to push it back until the first quarter
of 2024 but they're waiting for that and
I'll get that and understand but don't
keep saying that we're not trying to
make fights or he's ducking people we've
made offers you know for for just think
it through you're asking why they're not
happening we offer
uh Joshua who's had a fight now we
offered him that fight for September and
there's nothing wrong he's incapable
because he's training for a fight
allegedly for August we offer in the
fight you've got the 60 40.
don't worry about rematches and all that
you don't want them straight into it
that's where we go and he hasn't taken
it why hasn't he taken it because he
wants the big payday in Saudi so that's
why yeah
oh six fighting he's trying to get a big
pay down south didn't he he's not fire
no is he fighting he's fighting your boy
because he's older to fight him right
otherwise he wouldn't be fighting at
what point is Tyson Fury as a WBC
defending heavyweight champion that
hasn't had a mandatory now for 17 months
at what point is someone going to step
in and say about time you fought someone
if you've got a mandatory Challenger and
he hasn't got a mandatory they could
have mandated Frank Sanchez who's number
four couldn't they
neither of them look first of all I'm
not in a WPC business that's their
choice to what they're doing they
offered the number one and two and they
were up until a few weeks ago I
understand still negotiating yeah
because they're looking at I suppose as
a fallback if this thing doesn't happen
yeah but Wilde is waiting for Saudi
money it's it's George Warren your son
told me this best it's a blessing and a
curse and right now it's a curse
it's not your fault
is not saying it's your fault but the
people listening want to know a solution
to this and there isn't one at the
moment and it's the fight fans who are
being cheated isn't it at the end of the
day it's why did all the golfers all
walk away
from the from the governing body at the
time that's on it to form their own
thing why did they do that they did it
for money and now what they now they've
got together because money's called for
it to happen why did that and it's no
different with a boxing they said why
are some of why why a lot of footballers
now going to Saudi Arabia to play in
their league for money so what do you
know no it's not it's not we all know
that Frank but I think people would
actually prefer people to come out and
actually say it and so tell you what I'm
not fighting I'm only going to fight at
the end of the year I'll tell you what
I'm gonna do I'm gonna stop Fanning
about I'm misrepresenting the only place
I'm going to fight a sad exam place I'm
going to get paid right and what we've
got is Tyson because Tyson I I believe
is the generational great right and I
would like to see him make the fights
that get made and I understand that
there was challenges in getting Joshua
to get you get in a ring because he's
the other Financial Express train well
that's merited or not but between
chisora and where we are today what
people have listened to is a lot of
noise from Tyson and people are
beginning to get an impression which
you're trying to correct that the
reasons why deals don't happen is not I
don't think Tyson Fury is ducking people
I think he makes it difficult to do
business with him why because I think he
has an impression of what he should get
from the fight and he's not going to
move from that so okay
to me I'm going to fight Michael Kessler
but I tell you what I'm I'm gonna do a
deal because I'll fight a 50 50 because
it makes it happen
I'm not sure your boy does that I'm not
sure he's particularly facilitatory in
making sure an outcome happens why he
publicly offered 60 40 to Joshua who's
coming off a loss and and reiterated
that offer so why is what do you think
should we get 50 50 no not in that
instance
you're just you just made a comment you
just said that he does that well he
didn't do it because you're Josh I'll
have to I'll have to bow to your
knowledge about offering him fights this
year but when he offers him 60 40 last
year nobody in their right mind that's
managing Joshua would stick him in that
fight it was a Mickey take you guys knew
it you're taking Joshua it is because he
wasn't ready and your boy wouldn't have
been ready either and no one would have
advocated for it and you only wanted a
few minutes
training to fight in November and fought
in December of course he was ready your
your boy fought dillian white in a
one-sided beat down seven months before
Anthony Joshua has come out of a
psychologically damaging fight against
someone that's now being sick I don't
agree
let's say I'll I won't agree to it let's
just say you're right about it saying
since then he's come back and had a win
so why didn't he take the fight for 60
40 in September I can't answer that
question because I'm telling me I'm
unaware
I don't answer that question because you
know the answer because you want to
fight in Saudi well that's what I'm
saying okay
but do you worry that the public are
losing love for Tyson Fury
you've got to hate everybody said oh you
keep banging on a batches or a 60 000
people bought tickets for a fight the
guy who buyed a one was the highest
available Contender you can fall some
people some of the time but you can't
for older people I would have I would
have sorry I would have put I would have
paid job Joyce to step aside put Zulily
Zang in with Tyson Fury and made that
fight and you don't like that
conversation but that's what I would
have done no no no no no
it's not bad I don't like I have no
promise Joe Joyce wanted the fight we
tried to make the Zhang fight you just
had him in there you should have put
that to him and asked him and he put it
to you because you're a promoter right I
can't no he's the guy who has the
opportunity to to decide whether he
wants to to call for the rematch and
that's what he did Jim White and Simon
Jordan Monday to Friday mornings from
10.
