    Usyk & Fury both retire after this bout in December.

    Belts will fragment one way or another next year.

    Joyce Joyce, Wilder & AJ could easily get a belt next year even some other undeserving people.

    I understand that but let's just say neither man retires and holds those belts...can Joshua and Wilder ever be champions again?

    Joshua will definitely have a third act.

    Wilder, maybe, if the belts fragment and the WBC set him up with another outpatient, but his act is probably done and certainly on its way out.

    Why not they’re a dime a dozen/ ten a penny, Come one come all, collect your plastic belt and pretend you’re a World champ!

    I think it's very possible Usyk and Fury both retire soon. If that is the case, I think either could become champions.

    My guys is that they'll both get 1-2 belts back each and then refuse to fight each other, or likely Wilder ducks like he did last time, and refuses to fight outside of the US.
