    No warm up fights. Fight Wilder, then fight Fury. He doesnt need warm up fights.

    Dubois hits hard, but never heard anyone call him the hardest. If he was then he'd have been able to put Hrgovic, Johnson. Miller, or Joyce down, despite Hrgo and Miller turning into punching bags once they ran out of gas. In fact I think the only noteworthy guy Dubois seems to rattle with every punch is AJ, which would seem to say more about AJ's chin than Dubois' power

    AJ said Wilder WAS the tune up.

    Miller or Wilder are effectively tune-ups that could be over hyped and amped up into PPVs. I wouldn't pay for them, but people would!

    Jake Paul was a tune-up fight, the fight with Fury should happen as soon as possible and there is no excuse for not being ready...

    The fight will be good for him to show his emotions, judging by his look, he is ready to beat Fury, and if that's the case, then let the fight happen...

    AJ said he wants to face Wilder first, then Fury later this year. Quite simple. AJ vs Wilder is as long overdue as AJ vs Fury.

    Fair. But just about all boxers 'call outs' and proclamations of being the best are ego talk.

    That makes no sense

    Judging by his look?

    Looks mean nothing

    And why would he want to show emotions in a fight?

    That's how fights are lost

    I’d wager Hearn puts AJ in with Tommy Fury before he puts him in with Tyson

    Wilder is shot to pieces AJ is on the slide no doubt but he's nowhere near as bad as the current version of Wilder that fight with Chisora was embarrassing.

    In saying that, if he can't get past Dubios or a shot Wilder he has no business fighting Fury to begin with.
