Why don’t you give it a rest,everyone knows your not letting Joshua fight wilder and that’s a fact

So no purse bid for Wardley -Adeleye then? Was looking forward to the fight but hopefully it's not on the Fury card.

Think the Saudis have shifted focus to football and golf.

Not sure they want to put on this fight now, not without the undisputed fight alongside it too. Sadd because this is the much more fun fight.

'Hearn was in serious discussions with Saudi-based Skill Challenge Entertainment, who were interested in staging the event. SCE have now been replaced by a different Saudi entity - the company which is financing next month's showdown between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou.'

The fight is not happening anytime soon. Joshua will fight a keep busy in December

It was all talk to sell the Helenious fight, as soon as that was done with Hearn started backtracking and being negative about it happening.

We've been doing this **** for like 6-7 years now. The fight barely even matters anymore, they're both washed up bums. Just **** or get off the pot.

What should the Saudi government finance? £100m on a footballer playing there numerous times, or a one off boxing event?

Their priorities have changed, their sport washing job is almost complete.
