In a piece for NBC News’ THINK, Casey Michel, author of “American Kleptocracy,” writes, “For anyone who’s followed Hungary’s trajectory under Orbán, Carlson’s paeans to the country’s supposed ‘democracy’ are laughable. Orban, whom he admires, on the map for his viewers back home, a conservative audience that may be open to the sort of illiberalism promoted by the Hungarian leader.” Carlson, the Hungary trip was an opportunity to put Mr. The New York Times’ Benjamin Novak and Michael M. Or how about this quote from Carlson? “Who’s freer? If you’re an American, the answer is painful to admit.” In fact, Carlson even said on his show, “If you care about Western civilization and democracy and families and the ferocious assault on all three of those things by the leaders of our global institutions, you should know what is happening here right now.”Ĭarlson meant that as a compliment of Hungary’s ways of doing things. And a preview for what Carlson would like to see happen right here in the United States. If you saw any of it, it looked an awful lot like one giant infomercial for Orbán. Two explosive punchers with a point to prove could deliver an al-time heavyweight classic if each fighter believes the risk is worth it.Fox News’ Tucker Carlson spent last week in Hungary, met with authoritarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and gave a speech at a far-right conference in Budapest that is backed by Orbán and his government. That doesn’t mean that the pair don’t have a bright future at heavyweight, especially against each other. Where Joshua has failed to get past Usyk, his long-time rival Deontay Wilder has also found Fury just too good. Both men probably have more personal priorities in the ring, but the money involved could see both men accept this fight despite it being worth a lot less than a few years ago. Once the biggest fight in British boxing, does Joshua against Tyson Fury still have the same appeal? The history between the pair and the back-and-forth verbal spars ensure that the contest will always hold plenty of commercial value.

Derek ChisoraĬould we see a fight between two fighters from the 258 stable? Chisora is chasing another payday after defeating Kubrat Pulev earlier this year, but could he get it against Joshua? The British heavyweights are both extremely popular, but does their business relationship come before a lucrative meeting in London? Tyson Fury The Chinese heavyweight was unfortunate not to become mandatory challenger to Usyk, but could he tempt Joshua to China? The fight would be a huge money spinner and it could provide ‘AJ’ with a much-needed confidence boost.
