    Doubt it. There's no way he'd fight some unknown over Joshua. They could easily hold both fights in 2021

    Opetaia isn't even a HW and has a lot more to achieve at CW before moving up. What a random rumour.

    It's not a rumour as such. Arum wants to make the fight it just won't happen before 2021 at least

    Doesn’t seem interested in facing AJ ,I even posted a video of him saying it and you still had people on here saying AJ didn’t want the fight ?

    Common Sense. Fight an unknown fighter for peanuts or fight Joshua for another big payday?

    Still to this day I've wondered why Wilder & Fury have not faced off v AJ.
    All three will not be complete till thay have faced each other in the ring.

    Fury and AJ will fight I’m 100% sure of it , there’s just too much money there.

    Fury doesn’t duck anyone, and neither does AJ. The fight will 100% happen.

    It seems likely. That cowardly Fury up to his old tricks again!
    Ducked Price
    Ducked Wlad rematch to drive his Lambo off a bridge.
    Ducked Bellew after Bellew ran through Haye
    Ducked Whyte somewhere in between other ducks
    Ducked Joshua 40-60 split to fight Wilder.
    Ducked Wilder rematch after getting badly KD'd
    Ducked Wallin rematch after getting badly outboxed.
    Ducked Usyk in YT interviews
    Did the Wilder rematch but only because he had nowhere to go! Fought Wilder scared, which is why he went all out, too cowardly to box for 12 rounds after tasting the RH of Wilder. Fury ducked his defensive style!
    Now ducking AJ again!
    Prediction: Will duck Dubois in the future!

    When did he say this?
    I will admit the evidence is there. He never got in Joshua's face like he did Wilder. Joshua offered him something like three tune-up fights before they fought and he said no. Big John came out after the Wilder fight and said he should retire because Joshua's not on his level.
    But I think that if Fury's got true warrior spirit in him, he'll fight Joshua because he doesn't want to leave that question unanswered
    Wilder's scared of him. Fury's been out three years and knows damn well he'd get battered by a non-can who knows how to box, which is why he went after Wilder.

    First of all you have no right to call ANY professional boxer a coward

    Second I think your opinion is clouded by emotions and judging by your opinion you are a devoted casual that has no real intellect in boxing which is why you rely on emotions to justify your opinion

    Bob Arum's just giving Jai Opetaia some publicity.
    Maybe Fury will fight him, but I believe he'll fight AJ before that, providing they both win their next fights.

    It appears that you've ducked an education.
