    They each should take a warm-up fight, to get back on a winning track, and then fight each other in the fall of 2025.

    I hope we will see that fight as well, even if they are no longer at their peak...

    2 cowards without the guts to risk their zero when they could have done it.
    I'd watch it, but I'm not really interested anymore, tbh.

    The bodybuilding bum does what his masters tell him in this case Turki & Eddie.

    Fury will retire and Usyk should follow.

    I feel the same. But I also know how excited I got for Floyd v Pac and even Brook v Khan so no doubt I'd get excited for this as well.

    Very good matchup still, but disappointing that it happened so late.

    Did you enjoy them fights? Not really. Khan Brook a fresher Brook with some life in him beating on a shot Khan. Bellew Haye was a payday grab fighting a finished Haye. Mayweather Pac was 5 years too late at a minimum. Even Fury Usyk to a keen observer was too late not any of their faults but both well on the slide. Spence Crawford. Spence was Lamborghini written off well past it weight dead.

    Fury always just boxes AJ's head off it's not an interesting fight. Only AJ fans who think he's any good get excited for this fight.

    I'm trying to think when we actually last got two fighters best of their weights in their primes or even near fight each other? First Canelo GGG fight probably and they robbed GGG and I didn't even watch it because I don't care for either of them especially that ginger midget.

    I actually did like Khan v Brook. But for both fights I got very very hyped.

    Usyk’s adopted sons will fight each other.

    More like in 2026. Joshua is lined up to face the winner of Zhang versus Kabayel for the interim belt. Should he be victorious, I imagine Usyk will drop the belt, similar to the way he did with Dubois and the IBF belt. Plus Fury will want an easier fight after his last two fights.

    Who you got? AJ is targeting the fight for 2025. Everyone knows what happened in their infamous sparring session when AJ was just an amateur. Both have a pair of losses against Usyk.

    Joshua's desperate attempt to return to the top and he himself knows that he is in a hopeless situation because both Zhang and Kabayel would crush him...

    Hope it happens. No belt on the line, no 0’s on the line, might as well at this point.

    The Fury who just fought Usyk would give AJ a public boxing lesson. Should be interesting.

    No he isn't. Joshua's next fight will be against Fury, unless Fury doesn't want to fight him, and then instead Joshua likely faces the winner of Dubois vs Parker for the IBF World Title.
