    Both AJ and Wilder stock value is in the gutter now.

    Would the public be up for a AJ Fury or AJ Wilder fight and will the Saudis be willing to offer big money for it?

    I’d still be hyped to watch aj fury just cause of all the needle but it is the Battle of the losers.

    I think either would still sell but both are years past their sell by date.

    I think there is. The fans of both still have an ax to grind on who sucks more.

    AJ-Wilder makes more sense as both just got KTFO and Fury just put in a good performance against the GOAT HW.

    Fury-AJ will probably happen as it's more lucrative.

    Wilder probably isn't even a top 20 heavyweight anymore.

    Fury and Joshua are similar levels of washed so the fight still works even if it's a shell of what it should have been. Call it "the last dance" or some ****, do it in Wembley then both of them retire. Would be a nice ending to the era.

    AJ has damaged his stock by refusing to rematch Dubois. That is an admission of cowardice and complete lack of confidence in his abilities to win.

    Yeah he knows the chances are he gets KTFO again.

    He's probably more competitive against Fury because Tyson isn't a puncher and he'd earn £100m for it instead of the £15m he'd get in return for Dubois making him do break dancing.

    Why not. It'd be entertaining. As a boxing fan, I'd be watching

    Aj v joshua yes. Wilder needs to retire. In fairness to fury i,d get that fight signed quickly and go back for the usyk rematch if he can get a convincing win.

    In honesty i think joshua causes fury bigger problems than people think at this point. But would be a good indicator of if furys still got much left or if hes just doing allright against a lighter hitter in usyk in the grand scheme of things.

    AJ-Wilder has lost a lot of appeal because of how Wilder's been since the third fight with Fury. It'd prolly still sell, but nowhere near what it once did. But hey, the Saudis ain't in this for money, so **** it, why not. At this point though, Ngannou-Wilder would prolly be less one sided. Plus I'd find it incredibly funny if Ngannou ended up being the only person to fight AJ, Fury and Wilder :lol:

    Fury-AJ still ain't a bad fight, and I hope they just go ahead and make it instead of trying to rebuild either man and risk further banana peels.

    I would like to see Fury v AJ with Wilder v Whyte on the under card.

    I'm sure they are both financially viable fights still. But personally both fights are meaningless now with AJ and Wilder clearly well past their best.

    Fury may have lost again but he's at least still one of the best current heavyweights. He should be looking at more meaningful fights but I wouldn't begrudge him cashing out against AJ.

    Joshua's standing right now is in the trash heap alongside Wilder's. He needs to show he has something left by beating someone decent which he hasn't done in a long time. Maybe if he beats a top 10 heavyweight again, I would be interested in Fury/Joshua.
