    With aj there's never a forgone conclusion. Joshua is only a significant favorite on paper, but you have to take into account that he's a mental midget and will fold to any form of resistance. Once he realizes McKean wont lay down he might quit. Plus with a glass chin like his, anything is possible

    Tune up fight purely to test his new skillet and build back confidence. The worrying thing is that they might try to PPV it.

    Because Hrgovic might beat him. Yes, I know Hrgovic looked terrible last time out, but he's got the ability and power.

    McKean, much as I quite like him, has neither.

    McKean will lay down, from round 1 he'll be getting beaten in a thoroughly one-sided fashion.

    I bet his next couple of fights will be against others that are top 20 to 30. He'll go the Wilder way. I'm sure he's scared of even thinking he has to fight Fury, Joyce, Wilder or maybe even have a trilogy with Ruiz.

    Decent comeback fight. One thing you guys don't get is that AJ is still a huge star in the UK. He will sell out O2 arena in a few minutes and the PPV will do more than Fury's last two fights.

    Femi had a nasty defeat in Saudi, lost to Usyk for the 2nd time - had a MASSIVE meltdown in the ring which was hilarious and cried like a little girl in the press conference.

    You better hope and pray he doesn't get ktfo by Mr McKean otherwise it's over.

    BIG drop from stadium fights to the LITTLE O2 Arena lol.

    Tyson Fury SOLD 154,000 tickets in his last 2 fights.

    Don't forget that loss in America to Andy Ruiz Jr (Embarrassing)

    AJ getting one off. It's ok. He needs to work on some things and should be able to try some new stuff. McKean is a good opponent for that. Not a heavy puncher and limited skills.

    Fury’s last two fights were against Whyte and Chisora - both of who have quite a large casual audience themselves.

    This is a sensible fight, with a new training set-up and previous meltdown it makes perfect sense.

    Hopefully he comes back stronger and we get some good fights

    The names Eddie is going to have to learn to run off the top of his head promoting this one...

    "Demsey is a massive threat in there, possibly more dangerous than Wilder and certainly more of a puncher than Fury. Look at who he's been in with - Korte, Haynesworth, Belshaw. He managed to give carbon fibre chinned Nascimento only his 11th KO."
