    I'm still hopeful of it but only if it's held here. Not arsed in the slightest if it happens in Saudi.

    I'd actually quite like to see it with no belts on the line too. If they both lose their bouts this year then it makes sense as a final fight for each of them.

    Yes true. Once upon a time a good fight was a good fight. Belts and unbeaten records didn't matter.

    It's still a big fight but I feel it relies more on AJ dealing with Dubois, which i fully expect him to, than Fury beating Usyk.

    It's still a good fight and a fight I'd like to see. Obviously, it would have been better years back, but both guys still have enough left to make it an intriguing fight still.

    I agree.

    AJ has his confidence back so isn't fighting scared anymore. This makes the fight closer as the old tentative AJ never stood a chance of beating Fury, even a fat faded Fury. If AJ gets beat up and stopped by Dubois, then he might revert back to the old AJ making the Fury fight uncompetitive and, ultimately, pointless

    I still can't see anything but a Fury win for what it's worth.

    Too much ring IQ, too much heart, too adaptable and too awkward for Joshua imo.

    The only thing in my view that gives Joshua a slight chance compared to the past is that Fury gets hit a lot more than he used to.

    Will be a good fight though and the build up will be fun as can see both getting extremely rattled at different points.

    Mismatch. Even shot legged Fury jabs his NUT OFF all night and makes him QUIT on his stool then steal the mic. AJ too predictable both during, and postfight.
