    People would RAG on Fury for fighting Agit even if it was a stay busy fight prior to chinning Usyk.

    Garbage fight. Will be even more boring than the Bodybuilder v Franklin fight.

    Rightfully so you absolute donut...

    Fury is an undefeated champion and AJ lost three out of his last six you gormless minger.

    Whyte is even stupider than he looks if he passes up the AJ fight for £3 million.

    He won't make anywhere near that amount in the rest of his career fights combined.

    Mediocre fighters like Whyte and Chisora expecting mega money for every fight takes the ****.

    If AJ, Wilder, Usyk & Fury gets their contract through there is a little chance they have even a "stay busy" fight. It will be a 0 risk situation. Agit would hardly prepare AJ for Wilder just like Pinhead Dubious wouldn't prepare Usyk for Fury...just put wear on him.

    Agit is the kind of fighter that the Sanchez and Andersons of the division need to be fighting. That is never going to happen because Fury, AJ and Wilder keep dipping into these ranks for their next opponent instead of fighting each other. Guys like Kabayel have no to incentive to fight up the ranks and earn their shot at a big pay when they can sit back fighting nobodies twice a year and get the same opportunity.

    Better than the recycled Whyte fight as Agit is undefeated but has fought no one other than Chisora. All in all probably just a BS name they are throwing out there and a crappy opponent. How many tune ups does a former top fighter need that are not even in the top 20.

    If they go that route why no try to get Miller or Demirezen which would be better fights. Or take on one of the contenders like Sanchez.

    AJ skills seem to have reverted to primitive judging by his last fight and he's going no where near opponents like Hrgovic or even Walling who may box his ears off like another lefty that put him in this predicament to begin with.

    If true, then this is terrible matchmaking by Hearn once again

    Kabayel is negative and would simply box to survive. Joshua would win another boring 12 round decision, and public opinion of AJ would fall further and ask why he failed yet again to get a KO against a C-level opponent

    The double header in saudi seems like the only thing that could save this era of heavyweights from being remembered as the time when the top guys fought once a year, cherrypicked bums, and dodged unification bouts.
