    Fight should have happened 3-5 years ago. It means F-all now.

    If there was a belt out there not held by Usyk when this fight happens, I would guess that the winner would get a shot at that belt.

    They may not be the two best heavyweight in the world anymore but I think it's fair to say there are both still in the top five. I'd love to see a Fury-Joshua matchup.

    I think the IBF is currently with Dubois if I’m not mistaken but Jodhua already lost to him convincingly

    I agree. A belt has nothing to do with making this match. As a boxing fan I'd love to see it. Great mix of styles. Pre fight jabbering would be epic. And it would be a huge money maker for everyone concerned.

    It’s the best fight to take for both, by the standards of their last performances Fury should dominate but at their peaks it’s an interesting one.

    If I wasn't British I probably wouldn't care much what happened to either of these two now. But any Brit who tells you they wouldn't be buzzing like your dad's biggest **** ring on fight night is probably lying.

    I agree. If I wasn’t British I probs wouldn’t care one bit. But I am.

    I'd say it's debatable either are top 5 now neither have beaten a top 10 Heavyweight in years well.....Joshua beat Wallin at number 10 barely he was number 10. But realistically he wasn't a top 10 Heavyweight i'm talking about the likes of Parker, Zhang, Kabayel, Dubois, Bakole, etc.

    And Fury arguably could be 0-3 in his last 3 fights with alot of people thinking he lost to the MMA fighter.

    But i do agree i'd still like to see the fight for me it's still a fascinating match up that will have plenty of hype.

    I'm not British but I hope the fight happens. It should be a good one.

    The fight should have happened years ago when they were the two best HWs out there but better late than ever.

    Fighters more deserving of a Fury fight: Dubious, Zhang, Parker, Kabayel, Bakole

    Get in line bodybuilder

    Personally I very doubt Fury will be in a place mentally or physically to fight this summer. I doubt come April Usyk will want to go back into camp either.

    This fight makes the biggest sense for both of them. Even without anything on the line, the fight will sell, plus it is very interesting when it comes to clash of styles.

    A very rare example of a fight that will definitely be on pay per view that I also definitely will not buy.
