Hot take...Usyk is putting a belt out there to give Fury or Joshua a means to redeem themselves.

    You’re giving Wardley way too much credit. He was already losing to Parker before the early stoppage. If that’s how he performs against Parker no way he’ll beat AJ or Fury.

    I'm going to agree with @Oddone here and say there is very little chance Fury or Joshua win a belt back or defeat another top 10 opponent.

    Whatever Fury plans next, he should take 1 or 2 tune-up fights in the meantime if he’s coming back. He was always sharper when he was active.

    Joshua will collapse the moment wardley lands, hes a shell of him former self and fury isnt far behind. Wardley too fresh, too hungry, too much of a handfull for either of them to cope with at this stage in their careers.

    exactly. I also see a lot of problems with either Fury or AJ coming trough a tune up fight. At this point any opponent is a problem for them.

    That's if AJ doesn't catch him first
