I see this falling through to be Frank. Any opponent with a name is going to demand a good purse for a fight with Joshua.
Usyk wasn't in trouble in the 9th. Nearly all the bombs Joshua threw missed their target. Watch it again. Usyk did well to avoid most punches.
Eh you are stretching or hating on here. AJ is still TOP 3 HW fighter in the division, and it's a big legacy fight for everyone on the division, except for Usyk, cause he already beat him twice. AJ will be the best fighter in Fury resume, which speaks enough. And he is in his absolutely prime. Also boxing doesn't work like that, aka he can beat anyone in X or Y guy in his resume. Tyson was huge legacy fight for Lewis, yet he was on 3 loses already and heavily past his prime, AJ is still in his absolutely prime, so he is a huge legacy fight for Fury, whether he will fight him or not.
A fight with Wilder next year has got to happen, even tho its not as meaningful as it once was, i think it will still produce big numbers on PPV.
Next fight is simply a must win for him so Whyte and Wilder are too risky, both fights he could easily lose.
And AJ knocked the **** out. AJ gets hit to often and has a suspect chin, no way Wilder doesn't connect within 12 rounds.
No hating at all just stating my opinion on Joshua’s current status in the division. I’d love to see Joshua rebound and become a top three fighter but the thing is for whatever reasons even when he was in the top three and at some point arguably the main man for whatever reasons he never fought either of the other top two fighters. Yes Wilder apparently ducked Joshua but Joshua also ducked Wilder and as you mentioned Wilders arbitration case put a stop to Fury v Joshua. Hearn did also send offers to both Wilder and Fury and a few other fighters for the cancelled April show at Wembley but it was either too short notice or fighters were already in camp.Joshua’s A side contract status helped him immensely after the losses to both Ruiz and Usyk as the rematches where not even necessary as both fights where not even close and the first loss he was stopped after being down four times then quit,will Joshua still have the rematch clause in his contracts now he has no belts ? It will be interesting to see where Joshua goes from here in terms of fights and if he still has his huge marketability after his meltdown which showed the public his true colours. As for Joshua adding to Fury’s legacy ,well it would still be a massive fight but defeating Klitschko the ten year reigning Champion on away soil and also defeating Wilder the long reigning WBC Champion also on away soil will always add more to his legacy than beating Joshua who has no belts and also with 3 losses in his last 5 fights . Hopefully we see Usyk v Fury and also see how Joshua rebuilds his career and which fights then get made .
Become top 3? He already is top 3. You are a biased blinded Fury fanboy that could not see further than his biased nose. This is quite clear for some time. Get your medicine ready when Usyk wipe the floor with that fat fart. Ruiz was late replacement of a voluntary defense, there was nothing wrong in the rematch clause in there. For Usyk was one big pile of b.c. cause it was mandatory. As far as Ruiz fight AJ was winning easily and scored a KD, yeah the rematch was justified. He also schooled 12-0 Ruiz, so i won't even answer your bias on the AJ quit, which is completely untrue. Klitschko was 40, AJ is his prime and it's from UK as well. Yeah huge legacy fight for Fury, even with 3 loses on AJ record. Anyone claiming this ain't huge fight is pure imbecile = facts. Same as Wilder - AJ. And when exactly AJ ducked Wilder? Wilder has 100m. offer to fight AJ, that money is still going to be a record for him, hell that money is still going to be more than he has ever earned. Wilder himself admitted that he ducked AJ and cherry picked Fury. He is that stupid that he done that to himself. This is a fact. You can't fight someone that doesn't want to fight you. Same with Luiz Ortiz who by himself also admitted to ducking AJ to face Wilder for twice lower the money he was offered to fight AJ.
