    If this happens, Wilder needs to work on landing his straight right to the body.

    Wilder admitted that he turned down 20 million to fight AJ to fight Fury for a fraction. He stupidly said it himself.

    If you truly believe this you are most definitely **** drunk. Usyk is the favorite and earned his stripes but he isn’t stopping Wilder in 6 rounds…point blank.

    Ordinarily, I would say you are correct. But if it is Dubois who is passed over, that is all right.

    **** off with that lineal champ bull****. Fury lost over 100 pounds and was battling drug addiction. They thought it was a cherry pick. The entire rest of the world understands this.

    ...Or I just think Usyk is a great boxer...undisputed at CW and looking the goods at HW - impressive stuff

    It was £100m = $120m not $20m

    Also becoming undisputed is kind of more important than beating on-off retiree Fury even if he had been first to Klitschko.

    I recall Wilder and his team publicly didn't give two ****s about the Lineal claim, it was all about defending "Sophia".

    Personally I think they would have used it had they beaten Fury, but publicly they made it clear that they had no interest in it.

    Edit: combined the posts

    that sounds good but I’m reality Fury was the man at heavy not AJ who been avoiding Wilder for a min, every time his name is brought up AL team say they don’t want it

    I hope for Usyk-Wilder rather than Usyk-Dubois. Daniel performed poorly in his last fight and is overall not that great, even that he's next in line for the WBA Super. Not that Wilder proved he is a danger for every top, but the doubt he can be is still there, even that a technical fighter outboxes him with not much effort.

    Is Krassyuk suspecting something, as he recently rushes to explain how they're not in any talk with Wilder, as it might be a fight Usyk doesn't want...

    A lot of BS being posted in regards to Wilder ducking Joshua and Joshua ducking Wilder.The truth is they both ducked each other and both have admitted it.Joshua ducking for considerably a lot more money ! In 2018 Hearn offered Wilder a take it or leave it deal of $12.5 million. Joshua told Wilder he would fight him for $50 million so Finkel,Wilder and his team put a deal together for $50 million for the first fight and also $30 million for the rematch if he lost,Hearn and Team Joshua knocked it back stating at first it was bogus with no proof of funds,however as normal the truth leaked out. To Joshua’s credit and others in his team they admitted that they had knocked the deal back from Finkel and Wilders team and he went on to fight Povetkin with Wilder fighting Fury .

    If Wilder fights Usyk this summer, wins, and then fights Joshua in the Saudi at the end of the year, Fury may not fight at all this year.
