    Turki Alalshikh has said he is preparing an offer for a heavyweight fight between Fury and Joshua but it is dependent on Joshua beating Dubois.

    Turki pulled Fury up on Facetime while sitting with Joshua following the announcement of his fight with Dubois and urged the two British fighters to get it on.

    “For the business, of course, it will be a huge fight if Joshua wins. His third time winning a world title and after the result of Usyk versus Fury it will be a huge fight. But you don’t know about the future. Imagine Tyson after the fight with Usyk wants to retire.

    “I will give him the offer, but if he refuses, what can I do? First of all, Dubois has a very big chance and it is not easy. I think it is a difficult fight for Joshua and a dangerous fight for Joshua. If Usyk wins, still I want to see Fury versus Joshua if they accept. I will not try to do the third fight between Usyk and Joshua before having Fury versus Joshua.

    “I think Joshua will win against Dubois but you don’t know. I picked Deontay Wilder against Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang, and he lost. This is boxing, especially the heavyweights. But I want to see Fury versus Joshua and the world wants to see Fury versus Joshua.”

    Why have a clickbait titles, why not just have a real title?

    It would be funny if Dubois KO'd aj. That would be the end of his career and it would be glorious. No more title shots

    It’s as if Joshua hadn’t been comprehensively beaten twice by Usyk, despite having all the advantages.
    Hearn continues to harp on about him becoming a 3 time WORLD champion once he beats Dan, for the benefit of the casuals. It he wins, in fact he becomes a 3 time IBF belt holder. First by essentially buying the first one from Charlie Martin, the second from the morbidly obese Ruiz after being battered by the same Ruiz, a substitute.
    Hearn continues to treat the public as fools , with all his inaccurate exaggerations.

    Usyk Fury and AJ Dubious are both 50:50 fights. Whoever shows up with jesus on their side will win....so Dubious and Humbled Fury. Fury Usyk retire afterwards.

    Because the fight happening is conditional on a number of things not just one - refer opening post.

    That would be horrible for boxing. That would give Dubois so much more unnecessary opportunity. He’d just turn into an easy title grab.

    I posted a fairly decent thread just before this one. Only for it to be jettisoned by the mods - for reasons only they could explain - to the smelly bowels of ESB.

    Jermall Charlo hit with DWI charge after drunkenly crashing Lamborghini | Boxing News 24 Forum (boxingforum24.com)

    I think I'll start creating some of those crappy hypothetic threads the mods are happy to leave in the boxing forum. Might start with 'prime Fenech vs fading Mike Tyson' or something equally limp.

    That thread is news about a current day professional boxer - Charlo. Why was it sent to the lounge when there are regularly ridiculous hypotheticals about boxers long retired cluttering the main boxing forum? My 'prime Fenech vs fading Tyson' thread will be right at home in the main forum. Yet news involving Charlo, a current day pro, gets moved.

    Typical Fury fans opinion that they would rather see Joshua retire than face fury. Weird.

    I'd rather see joshua violently KO'd. He can keep on fighting for all I care, just no more title shots for this goofball. Actually I wouldn't want aj to retire just yet, i want aj to fight till he's 41 like Wlad, getting wiped out by the younger generation. We can watch him stack up those losses together.
