    Exactly what I was thinking, I believe Bakole with his head on the line is tailor made for Joshua's straight right after Joshua controls the distance with a few hard jabs. Skill wise there's a big difference between the two .In my opinion the only unknown is Joshua's mental state after Dubois knocked him out, will he fold or panic if he takes a hard punch early? Only time can answer that...

    If so, why don't bury it forever? Why let the news go public after over a year.

    Yes and he was sluggish so what`s your point? He was overweight for both tose fights, I don`t get what you don`t understand.

    That he is crap and that some prime Fury only exists in your head. He's had one top showing in his career and even then it was boring and tainted. Besides that he's either looked like garbage or gotten punched around the ring. Tyson Fury just isn't t that good. Wilder is the single worst apparent top heavyweight of the last 20 years. Fury went life and death with him. 2 times. He also went down, and he's apparently a defensive genius, a few times as well. He's met a man with zero professional boxing experience and got dropped and should have lost.

    Posted about this in the 'British forum'. I really like the match, but can only see one outcome.

    The thread title is erroneous, by the way. Nothing confirmed.

    Fury is overrated but levels above Francis, he clearly didn`t train for that figt and there`s no way AJ could put away Fury in two rounds.

    I am a fight fan. Fury never looks healthy and he isn't the superhero you think he is.

    Still dangerous enough to have Joshua going for Bakole instead of Fury. I cant even count the times of AJ ducking Fury on one hand anymore.

    You know that AJ targeted Fury and the latter retired after there was no stopping the fight from being made, right?

    “Not training for a fight” is a poor excuse and your own fault. It’s a lie too.

    Nobody stopped you training, it’s your own tactical error.

    Fury only retires to raise his price- wich is pretty obvious at this point.
