    He's always been a cherry picking joke.

    Even his cherry pick is better than AJs though, which makes this whole situation even sadder.

    Both fighters are so far gone in the eyes of the Saudis they feel the need to use bubblewrap to protect the fight.

    AJ got pissed on for wanting a tune up after his destruction by DD and then brutal car crash, after Fury already got one.

    Now Fury is getting multiple tune ups and this selection is just as bad as AJs yet it doesn't get a fraction of the hate.

    The AJ double standards is pretty funny actually.

    Fury is the one waiting on AJ, not the other way around tbf. I'm not gonna begrudge Fury taking a stay busy fight while AJ gets his sparring session in, especially as the alternative is Fury twiddling his thumbs.

    Both Albanian tune ups are shite, but at least Fury did one with Mahkmudov which is a reasonable enough tune up.

    Exactly,like I said earlier in the thread there is far too much money involved in this fight for either Joshua or Fury to be fighting anybody at this point that could derail what will still be a mega fight even though everybody knows it is happening yesrs after it should have .

    Supposedly it’s not Hysa, I thought that would be weird anyway since I think Fury and Hysa are quite good mates and sparring partners

    I was ready to take Joshua seriously again when he was willing to fight dubois. Also i wouldn't put him down for losing to dubois.

    But since the paul fight, joshua is just a joke to me. Fury isn't even much better.

    Both get way too much attention and money. If that money could be used to make a few tournaments in different weight classes we could get so many good fights. Instead we get washed up privileged has beens in their late thirties having a bunch of half assed build up fights to then look okay-ish against each other for a relevant portion of the whole money spent on the sport in total...

    AJ is a bodybuilding bum who should be reviled for being such a hypejob and casual fan love throb.

    These tune ups are so bad I don't really see why they're bothering with them. Rico should have been AJ's tune up next to Fury mudov and Usyk should have fought Kabayel but boxing is truly a circus sport right now on the down slope.

    It all started when he cherrypicked a bum called Wlad Klitschko in Germany.

    Lovely idea in theory, in practice however little money would be made

    Fury and Joshua are WASHED, why are they wasting everyone's time and risking (albeit a small one) the bag fighting these bums? Don't need to hear **** about warm ups, these men are close to 40 just get in there ffs

    Fury often tends to have two tune up fights or a gap between big fights
    After Wladimir he fought Seferi and Pianetta
    After Wilder he fought Schwarz and Wallin
    Before Usyk he fought Chisora and Ngannou
    It looks like before Joshua it will be Makhmudov and possibly Hysa

    Who’s nuts are you going to swing off when fury gets beat by aj and then retires?
    Do you have a boxer picked out or are you just going to wait and see

    How does AJ beat Fury when all he has is a punchers chance which Fury is very aware of? Fury will jib jab that bum dosser all night for fun. Easy work.

    Id like to see AJ try a pressure strategy which is his only shot which Usyk is very clued up on...but won't take long for that big bum to walk into a jab that rattles him or a hook. Fury has that man's number.
