    This fight may happen in 2025.

    What is you prediction?

    I'd like to see Joshua win, it's what Belly and old Fish Eyes deserve for their poor sportsmanship and dishonesty.

    Fury wins if he isolates himself again for 3 months.

    Heart hopes Fury; head says at this point AJ.
    Fury is too far gone; chin fading, gasses out at around round 6. His shots have always been questionable. But they seem even less effective now. I even think his color/blush was unhealthy; i worry about the lad.
    It would be a win in itself if he stays fit and mentally sound after this deflating defeat. Imo its not even guaranteed hell be back in the ring.

    AJ has the edge, is fitter. Has had deflating losses for years now. Nothing to lose and a good payday. Shame it will pay off the ducking strategy by Aj/Hearn.

    If Joshua is dumb enough to try to box with Fury, he'll lose. If he goes for the kill, he could stop this Fury. Don't think Fury will mentally recover from the back to back Usyk losses for a while.

    I would, considering where both men are at this point, probably slightly lean towards Fury. I would like to see it. But I just don't think it will ever happen.

    Fury has arguably lost his last 3 fights and Joshu's kryptonite is power which he lacks. He also has basically zero size advantage which lets just be real is his only advantage against other fighters

    Fury runs away for 6 rounds and gets tired and KOed shortly after

    They're both clearly past their best.

    Joshua's mentality is clearly damaged - Fury's too thick to accept his losses, which helps him avoid being affected too much by them.

    On the other hand... Fury's grab and lean tactics don't work on physically strong opponents - I don't think he'd have too much luck with that with AJ.
    Likewise, AJ's able to be hurt, but Fury's power is pretty mediocre and AJ is worlds away from being basic enough for Fury to fight like he did with Wilder - accumulation stoppage is possible, but then I don't think Fury would necessarily be able to trade, and short of getting on his bike he'd get hit back harder (and let's be honest, he might not have the stamina for it now).

    It could go either way... I'd probably pick Joshua, but not with too much confidence behind it.

    Joshua is fading faster than Fury

    Fury is clearly past-prime but he still gave ATG Usyk his 2 toughest fights since Briedis

    I would have given Joshua a slim chance if he hadn’t of got absolutely steamrolled by Daniel Dubois recently

    I’d be very surprised if Fury declined so much that he got beat by Dubois’ leftovers

    I used to think AJ wouldn't lay a glove on Fury who would box his ears off over twelve. Now I think Fury stops him after multiple knockdown. I don't think AJ is cute enough to catch Fury hard or often enough but I think Fury lands with enough spite to rock AJ...now, bet you never thought you'd hear that!!
