    Once all this over, Wembley Stadium. Get something for the country to get buzzing about. Tell the Saudis, Pulev and Wilder to jog on.

    Hypothetical covid 19 inspired post.

    Hope you’re all staying safe and sane

    I’d rather AJ fought Pulev first and wins with a brutal knockout to get more hype for the Fury fight as his loss to Ruiz has damaged his reputation in my eyes

    Also I want to see Fury destroy wilder again

    I’d be happy to see AJ vs Fury next!

    not sure if that’s possible but if it’s a unification then you’d think that would over step the mandatorys

    makes the most money right now too

    I wish we could skip the pointless Wilder rematch. In fact, I am hoping that lack of interest and the inability to make money kills it.

    Thing is, though, it won't be in Wembely. Fury has surrendered his British boxing license and will only fight in America.

    Would love to see it, but this goes the same way as the Fury v Wilder fight. I think we forget just how much bigger Fury is than Joshua, and with the change of style, he’s using that size. I’m not saying Joshua can’t pull a punch out of the bag that puts Fury down, but I believe Fury dominates this. About 30ib heavier, 2-3” taller with the reach, much better skill set and ring IQ but to top it off, Fury knows how to fight dirty, like a heavyweight Bernard Hopkins or Andre Ward with the boxing dark arts.

    I would take Hughie Fury against Samantha Sexton in a leisure centre in Grimsby at this point.

    Okolie v Riakporhe would wet the lips at this point.

    Dont worry about that the BBBofC will come cap in hand with a gokd plsted license if they can get a big earner. They have history.

    Yeah, but Fury knows he can't get a fair break in Wembley. His comments ruined his career there, and he knows it.

    I think this is Vegas or nothing.

    Yes you cant even stand outside the pub and watch a couple of young farmers slug it out anymore
    The pub across the road from me even has an indent of a locals face in the bar and you cant get to see it anymore ;);)

    What about Saudi Arabia ? Seems to be getting a popular venue ( probably for money reasons ).
    Cardiff could be an option too.
    What were Fury’s comments regarding Wembley ?

    I suspect there will be no stadium events until summer 2021, if you're lucky.
