I know many say they have been flip flopping on who they think will win, but I have been flip flopping on who I want to win. I am still very unsure who I want to win, but when the fight comes I guarantee I will back someone, it always happens in every big fight. I feel like AJ winning is better for boxing but I'd like to see Wlad get a huge win to cap off a great career. I suppose at this stage I'm slightly leaning to Wlad
I like them both... Ive been a supporter of Wlad since pre Mercer... but really like AJ, and the torch needs to be passed, AJ is the perfect candidate. So Im hoping AJ can be as good as boxing 'needs' him to be, to fill the role as the next dominant heavyweight champion. So will probably be rooting for AJ when it comes down to it.
Joshua winning would be healthier for the sport but I've always been attracted to the fallen veteran getting one last scalp in an upset that reestablishes his greatness. I've never been a big fan of Wlad but outside of the ring he seems more interesting than Joshua, and I feel Joshua is here based on hype rather than beating quality contenders in the heavyweight division. Not a knock against him because he's just seizing the chance after delivering against his opponents thus far but he hasn't earned my complete faith yet.
Took the words right out of my mouth. At this point though, I'm starting to lean more solidly to Wlad. I don't think I'll be disappointed in any result though, except if Wlad gets completely embarrassed. I really hope he doesn't lay an egg in terms of being shot AND overly cautious.
I'm definitely excited for this fight. As for WHO I want to win I really don't care. Never was a big fan of Wlad. AJ at this point is a contender (a champ in a 4 belt era is no champ for me). AJ is good for boxing as he has loads of fans so I'm leaning towards AJ to win solely for the health of the sport. As to WHO I THINK will win, I got a feeling that AJ will be too much for Wlad.
Wlad because if he wins a decision I will make £700 off £100. LOL And because it's what Tyson Fury deserves. To show the world who the real champ is. Let's go champ!
I'll be cheering for AJ, as he's really grown on me over the last year and is humble. I have nothing against Wlad, but I just think his time is up.

I will be rooting for Wlad because I've been a fan since before he even became champion, but if Joshua wins I will be happy for him. In the interviews I've watched of AJ lately he seems like a good guy who is actually pretty down to earth. Plus, he says he wants to see the best fight the best and is willing to make those fights happen. Props to Joshua for even taking this fight, but I can't go against the Steel Hammer and AJ might not be able to either.
I really don't mind either man winning, but I want a good solid fight before it happens. It would be great to get a dramatic fight, maybe with 1-2 knockdowns on both sides. Then a big KO win. That's what fans want to see and then it doesn't matter who wins.
