    Unless the situation in the East comes to an end quickly I think it is likely that Usyk will not fight until at least June and therefore the rematch against Joshua will be cancelled.

    Let's admit that Fury beats Whyte quite easily on April 23, in which case nothing would prevent a duel between the two from being set up around September and since the Covid has disappeared we could imagine it at Wembley (especially since Fury does his return there in April).

    Joshua could make a bit of an easy fight around May-June to regain his confidence. The ideal for the storytelling would be to put it in front of Hughie Fury.

    Of course it wouldn't have the same sporting interest as in 2020-2021, but no doubt it would be a huge success.

    Fury says he's going to retire, but I think he'll change his mind.

    Fury vs Joshua for 4 or 0 belts is still the biggest fight in boxing.

    Does Fury really want to retire with his best wins being 40 year old Wlad, Wilder and Whyte?

    Good wins, but AJ would be his signature win. He'll double his net worth through it and it will be what he's remembered for.

    The ticket sales speak for themselves. Fury and Wilder were struggling to sell out 25-30k stadiums, AJ filled up wembley 5-6 years ago, and still could.

    If Fury wants to go down in history, he should fight AJ.

    Joshua would obviously lose to Hughie Fury, though. The guy was clobbered by a 5'11'' morbidly obese man who was on 6 weeks' notice.

    Tyson Fury says he will retire after his fight with Dillian Whyte: "This is the final fight of my career, I'm retiring after this. 150million in the bank, healthy, young, I'm going to buy a massive yacht abroad. I'm retiring, I'm out, this is my final fight, I'm done."

    No, didn’t think it was ‘hateful’ - just think a bit misjudged. Time and a place.
