    I'm still skeptical that the fight will happen, but it looks like Joshua and Hearn really want it, as does Turki. The only roadblock might come from the fickle Tyson Fury.

    I'm not a fan of either fighter, but it's obviously an interesting matchup! I dislike Greedy Belly's disparaging statements about other boxers and his erratic behavior, but Joshua too has made negative comments. So I won't be rooting for either.

    Who do you hope wins this important legacy fight for both men?

    I am a fan of both fighters.
    While Fury is more charismatic,
    AJ seems to be a more genuine individual.

    Fury is the better Boxer & knows how to place his punches better.

    AJ the Heavier hitter & better combo puncher.

    Fury will fight him like he did Wlad as opposed to how he fought Wilder in fight # 2.

    & he will likely get the decision.

    Joshua. Fury talks too much and he needs to be humbled.

    I don't mind who wins

    Fury win will harm all his haters who have gone into insane overdrive lately

    & AJ win will be brilliant comeback story & set up excellent rematch & justify AJ's decision to take risks

    Would've been torn a few years ago. Now I don't particularly care, both have sold out.

    Can you imagine the fallout if Joshi knocks Fury out?!

    Fury will play it calm being the boxer for the first few rounds making Joshua work hard for full rounds,once he decides it’s time and Joshua is starting to blow then he will switch over to Kronk Fury and stop him mid to late rounds .

    I’m rooting for Fury, but if Joshua actually takes this fight when Usyk turned it down, he has earned my respect, so good luck to them both.

    Joshua just because if he won it would upset the present status quo, and get a lot of so called knowledgeable folk saying WTF how did that happen?

    It's rare when I root for a particular fighter, one round I'll be yelling "go after him!" to Fury & the next round "double up the jab!" to AJ. I guess I'm temporarily rooting for each guy lol? Regardless of who wins, I will applaud the fight. Let's get it on!

    This fight is a lot closer than anyone thinks, it's a 60/40 at best for Fury.
