    Standard fare but if he were to lose, I doubt AJ would activate it
    He'd know to walk away

    They should make this fight a closed off sparring session otherwise the pressure might get to AJ

    Still not sure why out of all the soft touches for a tuneup you choose an unknown with 100% KO win rate.

    lol. Such an unbelievably pointless and awful fight. Car crash or not.

    Shouldn't be needed. But if AJ loses, a rematch is the last thing to consider. Same with a Fury fight. Best hang em up, especially if a KO loss.

    The pressure is on Joshua, I choose Prenga after Joshua needed 6 rounds in an unimpressive performance against Paul...

    I think people are blowing his accident a tad out of proportion in terms of how it affected him physically. He was cleared very quickly and was quite lucky to come out of it physically unharmed, but there appear to be no major injuries (otherwise he wouldn't be doing hard training with Usyk in a gym).

    I'm not going to doubt there's a personal, mental toll. However, if it was serious enough to affect his career he wouldn't have signed to fight Fury until AFTER he had a tune up. The fact remains that this is a poor opponent to shake off ring rust, and if it was Fury fighting him, you'd probably be one of the first to lambast him for it.

    This also feels like a pre-emptive excuse should he lose "ah well, he's past his prime and the accident took a toll prime for prime he'd have done xyz".

    Now that's gonna sound harsh to some, and maybe it is, it's just the way I see it.

    For someone who recently stated they like to only deal with facts, that's an awful lot of speculation right there fella
