Is there any value or demand for a AJ Fury or AJ Wilder fight now?

    AJ v Wilder is a guaranteed humiliating KO of a scumbag but unfortunately it makes them a lot of money still, though nowhere near what it would have. It's hilarious they ruined it.

    AJ v Fury is a very dangerous fight for Fury now imo. Weirdly, I think they each have the better trainer for the other. And these trainers are trying to make them into something they're not. Davison wants to make AJ an intelligent technical fighter and Sugar wants to make Fury into a 'big dog' KO artist.

    I think AJ can take quite a few punches from Fury and Fury will have his work cut out for him trying to keep away from the big shots these days, especially as a fat man. If he wants to come at AJ like he did with Wilder, good chance he gets KO'd. Wilder 2 was almost a disaster too, though people pretend it was a masterclass from 'Sugar'. Troof is Wilder landed some RH's very early that almost bombed Fury out but didn't quite connect clean enough. If Fury didn't land the ear shot, Wilder would have decked him coming forward just like in fight three. The tactic was utterly idiotic and fight three proved it. AJ also has a big hook.

    Is it worth it for Fury's 'mental health' to get KO'd by a shot AJ? I don't think so. Losing to Usyk is much easier. Fury will be driving off the bridge in his lambo again if AJ KO's him. Unless Fury loses a ton of weight and changes trainers I think this has disaster written all over it. This could be the fight that shows very clearly why lying to a fighter and telling them you made them into a KO artist is a very dangerous thing.

    Fury ducked AJ and fought Wilder for a third time instead, Fury is only a couple of years older than AJ.

    Dont think were going to agree on this one. AJ has gotten him served a contract several times yet refused. About the aging out thing- Joshua has taken care of himself much better. Fury"s years count a lot heavier.

    Yes the demand is still huge for AJ v Fury. The money will be outrageous also. Wouldn't be surprised if it breaks records for a all British fight. In fact I would be shocked if it didn't.

    Another stupid comment, I ain't saying he has a great chin, his biggest problem is dealing with being hurt.

    But anyone who takes that shot from dubious that he did in round 1 and still keep going certainly doesn't have a glass chin. If it was glass he wouldn't have gotten back up.

    I think Fury/Joshua would get a big audience

    Not in America. I think Fury/Joshua could probably still sell in the UK. I think Fury vs: Dubois, Parker, Zhang, Joshua, Bakole are all still possible. Fury only lost to the absolute best and he didn't necessarily look bad in losing. He still has options,

    AJ v Fury would sell out Wembley and they could engineer a great heavyweight card. Something like this..

    Fury v AJ
    Ituama v Whyte
    Chisora v Hrgovic
    Wardley v Wallin
    Allen v Fisher rematch

    Joshua Wilder would be like a race between two already wrecked cars, you'd watch to see who falls apart first.

    Certainly no longer box office for me after what is now a pile of defeats amongst all three.

    Would rather watch new challengers having a crack at Usyk.
