If AJ stops Usyk what next?

If AJ beats Usyk there's two options

A) offer Fury another fight again and hope he's not ture to his word about retirement.

B) Mandatories - whoever gets called first from Joyce at WBO or the Hrgovic and Zhang winner.

 

I had AJnwinning 4 round. As I did with Briedis. Bellew and Chisora won 3 rounds. After that no one has given Usyk any trouble.

 

Either Fury or Wilder would be a great fight.

 

Is Usyk still the same boxer before the war? Or did he lose his ambition and will because of what's happening in his country?

Is AJ taking advantage of Usyk's situation? If AJ beats Usyk at this state, will the victory be legit?

 

I don’t think AJ wins this fight but if he does, there is zero chance he gives Usyk a rematch even if it’s a close controversial decision. Don’t forget the first fight. Usyk dominated and the cards were questionably close. He’s going to have to beat AJ even more convincingly this time to get the same close decision. I hope he knocks him out but expect the fight to be decided on the cards. Always a crap shoot these days.

The AJ Fury fight is massive $$$ and it makes the incentive for a robbery very high. Usyk might need a KO to get the W.

 

Usyk fans go into meltdown.

 

Thats the big problem. Usyk might not be the same and the win would be tainted

 

Fury vs AJ will be interesting as Fury is past his prime.

 

Just because you say it a lot and hope it’s true doesn’t make it the case. Besides, who’s to say Joshua isn’t past his prime? Explosive athletes like him tend to peak very early.

 

Agreed. I suppose my point is that Prime Fury would destroy AJ, but now Fury is past it, it will be a more interesting fight.

Fury looks noticeably slower, and that may be the thing AJ needs to hurt Fury.

 

I’m not sure why his past performance vs Whyte gives you that impression. He beat Whyte more effortlessly than anyone else has. He clearly didn’t prepare properly for Wilder 3.

 

I gave you my reasons before. He looks noticeably slower now than he did between 2018-2020.

It's not anyone elses fault if Tyson decides to not bother training until weeks before a fight.

He should have been training throughout covid, but he wasn't, he was boozing, which is why he was noticeably out of shape.

There's preparing for a specific fight, and then there's staying in shape in general.

Fury doesn't take his fitness seriously enough and now it's catching up.

No I'm not saying this because I just hope it's true because I want AJ to win, I'm saying this largely because it's fact and I'm disappointed in Fury for not decided to dedicate himself to his fitness.

 

If you’re right and the same is true with Joshua because of natural decline and a couple of bad defeats, surely it evens out

 

Surely usyk has a rematch clause in place?

 

Probably a tune-up before sharing the ring with Fury. Fingers crossed we get a massive all-British showdown at Wembley for all the marbles.

Jesus that really would be something else, that would be HUGE.
