Visit; theathletic.com/pugandcoppMike and Lance follow the rapidly unwinding threads of the Tyson Fury-Anthony Joshua mega-fight to the source so to explain what's led to a generational bout being in jeopardy. Why is this colossal heavyweight clash, which seemed like a given earlier in the week, at risk of falling apart? Will Fury be forced to fight Wilder? If possible, will Fury pay step-aside money to the 35-year-old so that he and AJ can slug it out? Where does Joshua fit in all of this? Why did he claim Fury was a "fraud"? Will he be forced into a mandatory? Is there a chance all these heavyweight showcases could happen this year? Mike begs all these questions to Fury, himself, in an on-site interview. The guys preview a soon-to-be stellar fight between Jose Ramirez and Josh Taylor. Why does it seem there's so little promotion of this fight? Should Ramirez triumph, how will he chisel his name into boxing history? And lastly, who will win?! Plus, Triller's Ryan Kavanaugh on Paul-Mayweather, and the Ivan Redkach embarrassment ends.
