    Fury Joshua have signed a two deal fight meaning some where along the line who ever wins will either get stripped or they will voluntarily vacate the belt. Lets say Fury beats AJ both times. The likley scenario is the WBC would elevate Fury too franchise champion therefore not having to face his mandatory whyte ( sorry whyte fans) . by then maybe usyk should be WBO champion getting the stripped/vacated title .

    Would Fury fight Usyk if usyk was his mando or wanted to unify?

    Fury wont duck anyone. He is an ATG in the making, he will beat AJ twice as stated to cement his legacy (and make alot of money in the process both of them)
    AJ then retires after being ruined and Fury dominates for 10 years like Wlad did.
    Belts will get dropped and passed around like parcels at a birthday party with Usyk, Whyte, Dubois, Hrgovic, Yoka and Ajagba and maybe Franklin and Joyce all getting a schooling from the Gypsy King.
    Fury Vs Dubois will be epic in a couple more years i really like Daniel and rate him very highly for such a young guy.

    Fury has said that he will not fight Usyk because he is not a big enough draw. I am a bit disappointed because I am a huge fan of both, but it is what it is.

    If Fury beats AJ, Usyk and a couple of prime top 10 fighters he can enter top 10 top 15 all time HW.

    I don't even know if Usyk beats Chisora.

    If Usyk was so confident he could mop the floor with all these heavyweights, he would've been a heavyweight for the past seven years. Instead, he turned pro at heavyweight, and immediately went down to cruiser. Clearly, he thought the cruisers would be the better path for him.

    Now he's in his mid 30s, and he's been inactive, and injured, and he looked pretty mediocre against a very mediocre Chazz Witherspoon.

    Maybe the question should be: "Will Fury give Chisora a third fight when Chisora wins the WBO belt?"

    I really have to disagree with you Fury is very very good imo he holds his own destiny to be the UKs best ever HW in his own hands (as it stands i only really have Lennox above him if you class him as British).
    He just has to keep fit and mentally straight and looking at him at the moment he seems to have both in check. There has never been a HW at 6ft 9 that can box and move like Fury he has all the skills to be ranked up with the likes of Ali ect he just has to fight the best.
    He has already beat Wlad and Wilder, AJ is next then on to the next crop of talent over the next 5 years.
    I do really hope he fights Usyk as for me that is the only real test out there for Fury at the moment but i just think he is too small to compete with him over 12 with the mauling and leaning, but i may be wrong and we may get a boxing masterclass from both if it happens i hope so.

    No he can't because those guys will most likely be footnotes in heavyweight history when it's all said and done

    If Fury beats Wilder then AJ twice, it will be another year and a half or so and perhaps Usyk would have some good HW wins by then and be considered a legit HW name. If this is the case Fury would definitely fight him for legacy and win comfortably, I'd say.

    The people you usually duck are KO artists and Fury has fought two of the best and is willing to fight Joshua too. So the ducking narrative is absurd at this stage. Usyk isn't a KO artist.

    It's actually more sensible for Fury to wait until Usyk has a better reputation at HW because otherwise he'll get no credit for the win, just like he got no credit for the Cunningham win given Cunningham had fought for years as a cruiser. Fury has most of the advantages in the match-up with Usyk. Usyk's extra speed and increased skill of a smaller fighter likely won't be enough to close the gap because unlike many other big fighters, Fury has a whole lot of speed, skill and variety, meaning Usyk won't get the kind of edge he normally would in those departments and will be completely outsized and outpowered in the other departments. It's the same concept on display in the Haye Wlad fight. Haye was faster and more agile than Wlad, but Wlad was fast and agile enough to close the gap there and then had the physical advantages to pull away with the fight.

    This puny Usyk is no match for Fury. He wouldn't even put a dent on that chinny bodybuilder Joshua, because he has no punching power whatsoever! That Witherspoon stoppage was the most pitiful stoppage I ever seen. Chazz was more tired of chasing that scrawny cruiserweight around the ring than anything else.
    They lured him out of the bakery with a stringed donut and bundled him into a van, straight to the arena, pathetic!

    Fury has 2 good wins and one of them, he was on steroids when he won. You guys are acting like Fury is the best thing that ever lived when in reality, he could have lost the first Wilder fight and he could have been stopped on cuts against Wallin, who is ranked #83 in the world right now hahaha. Fury is now trying to duck Whyte because he knows that's a fight he can lose. All of this doesn't make Fury a great champ, bu a big chump

    There aren’t many challenges out there for Fury at the moment, in my opinion.
    Once Usyk becomes established as a HW, I’m certain they will meet.
    I reckon Fury has about 4 fights left : Wilder, Joshua x2, & probably Usyk.
    He has the belts, money, a beautiful family & more importantly his health.
    2 years, 3 at the most and he retires.

    Fights Wlad, fights Wilder twice (once 6 months after 2+ years out) and signs up to fight AJ twice.... yet you question if he would duck Usyk lol
