    It is starting to sound like the megafight is not going to be made. So, if not each other, then who?

    My thinking is that Joshua will fight Usyk. Fury would also have a mando against the winner of Povektin-Whyte II, but he has said that if the Joshua fight does not look to be on the table, then he wants to fight in April, which would be too soon. So I am thinking that we will get the Kabayel fight after all.

    What say all of you?

    The new guys:
    Usyk, Makhmudov, Yoka, Hrgovic or Gassiev.

    AJ would fight Usyk.

    Fury would probably fight a poor, overrated HW with a very padded undefeated record again. Looking at WBC rankings Ajagba ticks all these boxes and is also with Top Rank.

    I will cut my wrists as Bob Arum throws a stiff at Fury to keep him happy

    Starting to sound like it won't happen based on what? A tweet for a fight that's still 4 months away??

    Joshua and Fury have both openly said that they don't think it will come off.

    Meaningful since they are the two guys who would be in the fight.

    bbc have reported that bob arum claims the fury-aj fight is now agreed on both sides, and that there are no more issues to iron out.

    Well, let's see them give us a date and venue, then.

    I would like to believe it, but I am pretty sure we are going to get Joshua-Usyk and Fury-Kabayel.

    I think Fury will retire if he can`t fight AJ, he once said he just wanted to fight Wilder and AJ and that`s it, I don`t think he feels a fight v anyone else would be worth his time, I don`t think he can get up for a fight unless it`s a big fight and he`s not getting any younger either.

    Ruiz, Usyk, Whyte might be acceptable opponents.
    Most likely they will get something geriatric instead of these boxers. :D

    The winner of Whyte v Povetkin, especially if its Povetkin would make an ideal 41 year for Fury to fight.

    It's hard to take Fury at face value He said he was fighting on Dec 7, but as he know that fit not happen. The opponent was undefeated and young so there was not fight. Now he's saying he's been inactive for too long. Who's fault is that?

    Joshua said it early in the year, Fury said it last week. There have been a couple of threads, and it is on youtube.
