    Timestamped. Lot of big updates in this one.

    Says that if Fury isn't available, he will look to make AJ vs Wilder.

    He also wants to make AJ vs Bakole in Africa if Bakole beats Ajagba (which is a done deal according to Turki).

    All we've heard from @billy nelson is how Bakole is going for IBF belt no matter what as it's his dream and then opportunities will follow

    I smell shite coming from Billy

    Another fight 5 years too late
    Hey let's make SRL v Hearns 3 while we are at, I think Tommy was robbed of the decision for the rematch
    Maybe Bowe v Lewis in the undercard, another fight that got away

    True, but there is no fixing that. Might as well get it done now.

    Not for me, I will probably stream if I am not busy
    It is pointless

    So long as one of them gets KOed then make it happen.

    Most boxing is pointless, if you are speaking in terms of legacy and world titles. So what, you only watch world class boxing?
    Given where these two are at this point, yes, it´s a meaningless fight in the grand scheme of things. But it would still be an entertaining one.

    After seeing Wilder look absolutely awful (more than usual) yes I think it is pointless. I am not interested watching shot fighters. Had he been remotely competitive? then yes fair enough, but no I don't care about this fight

    Peaky Blinders is entertaining, I could just watch that over again or something else

    This is like Brook vs Khan in terms of the fight timing, but certainly a bigger money fight

    I would much rather see AJ fighting Bakole than Wilder.

    I guess, I wouldn't mind seeing it. Just for confirmation purposes.

    AJ would destroy Wilder at this point.

    Wilder needs to show us he still wants to fight
