    And Fury loses by TKO/KO/Stoppage, how much of a hit would his legacy take?

    I think it's like Khan - Brook now, and the impact will be minimal, but obviously the Matchroom shills on here will have the resume's prepared in seconds if AJ knocked Fury out.

    It will be the resurrection of @Mitch87

    Mmmh not so sure about that. Usyk is elite, no shame in losing against him.

    But if Fury loses against Joshua then that's..Going to be a problem.

    Sure, the fight should've happened a few years ago but you can't compare it to the Khan-Brook fight. That fight should have happened a bloody decade ago.

    Fully expect Fury to beat Joshua*

    *Fully expected Fury to beat Usyk both times, so what do I know..

    This should've been the fight for undisputed.

    Warren and Hearn are going to regret this for the rest of their lives.

    Any future fight now is an irrelevance just like Brook v Khan.

    Usyk is the Daddy and nobody really cares who finishes 2nd, 3rd or 4th as the best of the rest in the era.

    Both legacies will always be what they were when they left the ring after both fights versus Usyk.

    The Larry Holmes liberty job on Ali had no impact on his legacy as people are only interested in measuring prime periods of activity.

    Not as irrelevant as the Brook - Khan fight, as for the rest I fully agree.

    I'm a bit meh to it all. What a shame.

    At least 5 years past the date they should have fought.

    Andy Ruiz, Covid and the subsequent arrival of Usyk finally deprived the UK fans of a huge fight at Wembley for all the belts.

    Ridiculous how it's still being talked up as a fight in 2025.

    Lol I really hope Eddie Hearn paid him well for all the work he did for Matchroom on here with his constant copy and paste of the same content.

    I assume Eddie told him his services are no longer required?

    Should have happened in 2021 or 2022. Just after when Fury and Joshua "bumped into each other in Marbella" when were the restrictions lifted? 2022 wasn't it?

    Just googled the covid timeline and it seemed like an unfortunate series of events, which you rightly pointed out, on why it didn't happen.

    With his resume-building skills, I'm sure his services will have quickly been acquired by someone like Reed or Michael Page.

    If he worked in HR, anyone with the surname Fury or Wilder was hitting the shredder regardless of contents.

    So does this mean that if Tyson wins his fangirls on here will class the win as redunant?
