    I’ve said it before but if Fury and Joshua are to fight it will not happen till 2027,Fury has just had a warm up fight and no doubt takes another one later in the year and Joshua also needs probably two warm up fights before facing Fury. The biggest fight out there for both fighters is against each other and Joshua also has the option of a Wilder fight which no doubt should also have happened years ago but is still a massive fight many would like to see and at this time more winnable than ever for Joshua. A win over Wilder would certainly hype things up for the Fury v Joshua fight and would also give Joshua a big platform going into any negotiations with Fury .

    The bout will be made behind closed doors not at ringside in a call out by Fury.

    Yeah, the wealth is causing the duck. The man said he's going through personal stuff. I wonder if he's having issues dealing with seeing 2 of his friends, friends that helped him prepare for fights, splattered dead in the road, one with his head crushed off. Guys made excuses for Fury because he looked bad in one of his fights, saying, oh his baby was sick, Fury slept on the hospital floor. And yet you have no empathy for AJ? And who cares if he ducks Fury. Fury ducked the rematch with Wlad. Let me guess........he was struggling with mental issues and cocaine. Got it!

    I guess shot Wilder was still too dangerous for Joshua, despite Hearn claiming that they would fight him next.

    I still don’t like the Wilder fight for AJ idc how washed the bronze dosser is, Joshua will always be fragile and so will Wilder I see it as a permanent 50-50. Joshua is a much better fighter but I just don’t like the match up for him, never have.

    No fighter is afraid of Joshua, he wants to be dangerous without fighting, I hope Prenga can take advantage of the minimal chance he has to knock out Joshua...

    Hmm that's not true

    I saw many observers, pundits etc raise such concerns
    I'll admit I personally didn't see as much as those people but the signs were clear to some

    Who and why ? He demolished everyone he faced up until Dubois the only real criticism was the lack of genuine competition

    Joshua should concentrate on his bodybuilding tbh, I think he can still qualify for the Olympia if he keeps his mind to it… lol

    Most people were expecting AJ to win comfortably based off of his recent run. A "new and improved" AJ.

    Had AJ not been so careless he could have won that as well. Dubios isn't that hard to figure out.
