    He's not afriad of AJ he's just very upset with Turki & the officiation of his Usyk rematch and he needs a 6 month break and a real motivation to get back. AJ this summer leaves him flacid and i'm not sure who even cares for this bout. If Dubious holds all the belts he'd be back in a heartbeat however Usyk will likely chase that. But all that bieng said both Fury & Usyk need to retire. AJ shouldn't retire because I want ot see him get chinned once more. It's hilarious every time.

    Whys he upset with officials? He lost both fights, anyone not biased can see

    If Aj didn't punch hard and have attributes to frighten Fury, he would run at the fight. Just because hard hitting Dubois could club Aj, doesn't mean Fury can

    I can't stand Aj, but styles make fights. Lordlosh and others were right. Fury doesn't match up well against Aj. Probably why usyk picks Aj to win. Fury can give usyk more trouble, but Aj is a tougher fight than Usyk for Fury

    I would love to be wrong, but Aj retires him in 3 or 4 rounds currently. Perhaps not prior wilder and usyk, but I don't like his chances and neither does he, or he would be taking it

    AJ should KTFO Wilder at this point, then hopefully both retire because they're way past it

    I don't know why you keep selling this rubbish about Usyk retiring...you've been on that kick for some time. He has clearly said he wants a couple more fights.

    As for Fury beating Dubois, I don't think he can at this point. Father time has marched on.

    In their primes, I'd back Wilder to flatten AJ, but now, I think AJ wins due to Wilder being completely shot.

    Because I want what's best for him and I know what's best not him. Midget.

    If Joshua can't KO 40 year old Wilder in 3 rounds then he's a bum.

    No, but wouldn't that be cool if he had a cloaking device like in Predator?

    "Well, Joshua's legs and reflexes aren't what they were, but as long as he retains his power to become invisible he will stay a threat to anyone in the heavyweight division..."

    Why isn't Fury looking for the Aj fight?
    We all know the answer

    What a fight it could have been, when both both were undefeated and both had titles. Instead it is a battle of the losers. Both now fragile and way past it.

    Tbh the risk isn't worth the reward solely from AJs perspective. Right now no one will rank Wilder above AJ. If Wilder wins it will fundamentally change the story of this era.

    From our perspective while this fight isn't important theres really no reason not to do it. Its a "why not" sort of fight. Its not a title fight its not taking away from anything else its just the answer to a curiosity many have had for years.

    Joshua isn't going to fight Usyk or Dubois again and Fury isn't an option either.

    It's a cash out fight for Joshua. Make no mistake about that.
