    I think that is the fight that holds the most interest for Fury and Joshua fans
    I wouldn't want to see Usyk against either of them again now

    I think if both were given fair notice and time it could happen
    I don't mean like before when Fury called out Joshua at quick notice straight after his 2nd loss to Usyk saying something like you are fighting fit and ready to go after that sparring session. Fury retired after the 2nd loss to Usyk

    I think it would definitely have the fans split about who they think would win

    I have a feeling it will be a waiting game for the right opportunity to pounce though

    It's hard to say like that because you are basing it on the last resort where one managed to go the distance in losing and the other stopped, but all fights are different. It's like saying who would you favour between Joshua and Fury after the Ngannou fight, but that doesn't mean their fight would be that way.

    If you said to me, who do I favour at this very moment. Based on Dubois coming off a recent loss and Fury having had rest time and head space, I would likely say Fury, but if you asked me less than a week after Fury's second loss to Usyk after Dubois was coming off wins over Miller, Hrgovic and Joshua, I would likely pick Daniel, but I doubt Fury would rush into another big tough fight without giving himself time and rest even if that meant delaying

    Maybe wait a month or two and then decide

    I think that would be a tough fight and fair play if it was
    I don't know if Fury would be able to keep Miller off or push him back making it a tough nights work
    I think Fury would have to use those good boxing skills

    Maybe not as close then, as he is to Kabayel and Parker?

    He did defend against Wilder. Admittedly there were delays but he did defend.

    The right fight at the right time

    Won't likely be Kabayel
    They are friends
    Already heard it won't happen

    I am surprised he has such a high rating at this time
    Historically he has a great career but the wn over Whyte was over 3 years ago

    Usyk is the only champion that's gonna have to fight all the same opponents three times :smash2:

    If Fury is unwilling to fight Joshua, Kabayel, or Parker, i could care less who he fights. Fury certainly does not deserve a 3rd fight with Usyk.
