    Ruiz is an interesting one. Maybe Miller too if he just wants another sparring session.

    Ideally I'd love to see him just gun for the winner of Dubios/Wardley but a man can only dream

    Jarrell Miller would be the perfect opponent for Fury.

    I think he'd face Joshua next, but Joshua doesn't want it now. Seems like a pride thing to call it a "Second Tuneup" instead of a "stay busy".

    Spencer Brown said he specifically wants another warm-up.

    So, reading between the lines, he wants to fight Chisora again, right?

    The only thing Ruiz and Fury will be fighting over is seating position at the buffet.

    Andy barely fights every 24 months. Between sittings by the looks of it.

    Why are nearing 40 year old fighters needing warm ups and risking losing the pay day, just get in there neither Fury or AJ are at their best, both are washed. This fight will never happen, and I'm not even bothered as it is 8 years too late.

    Interesting scrap for sure, but considering AJs team think Wilder is too dangerous for a tune up I don't see Fury taking on someone who might give him issues. **** as Huni's chin is he makes up for that in boxing skill.

    I wouldn't be confident of Fury fighting any of the top 10 Heavyweights atm.

    I thought Fury looked bad vs that Russian fella he was getting hit far too much by a crude brawler.

    Realistically I can't see Fury fighting any top 10 Heavyweights right now it's too much risk of blowing the big money fight vs Joshua.

    The Heavyweights he could fight outside the top 10 ?

    Bakole, Sanchez, Huni, but I think even those fighters would be seen as too much of a threat

    Miller would be an ideal opponent but he's the WBA mandatory atm and is in line to fight Wilder.

    Ruiz is an okay fight, Miller would be a bit better right now.

    It might make sense for Fury to fight someone that has a similar (enough!) build/height/reach to AJ though like Ajagba, Riakporhe, Hrgovic, Bakole. Rather than a small HW fighter.
