And let's not pretend Usyk has to take the fight either. He should chuck it after Fury as he'll have nothing left to prove. If it wasn't for the rematch clause I'd have hoped he'd retire now - undefeated at the top two weights and lifted every belt? Walk away!
Listen koogs, the first two fights were close. They really could have gone either way. I myself had the first fight 7-5 and the second 8-4 for Joshua. And look, Usyk’s a fantastic fighter, no one can deny that. He’s got the skills, the footwork, the whole package. But what matters in boxing is how you bounce back, how you adapt. Anthony came back, and he didn't just win, he dominated. This trilogy will go down in history, and when the dust settles, people will remember that AJ was the one who finished on top. This wasn’t just a win, it was a statement koogs. Joshua proved he’s the better man.
If you put every Hearn interview ever, into a GPT model and asked it to write up an AJ-Usyk win, it wouldn't be far off this. Good effort.
Do we even know if Joshua wants this? I mean, what happens to his career if he loses to Usyk a third time?
Joshua has unfinished obese grinning Mexican business, and unfinished Dillian whyteleafe business to handle, before thinking about going 0-3 with the feather fisted Ukrainian MIDGET
Cash is king. Whyte will fight again if price is right. If he fights anyone decent he will probably get chinned but will be quids in
The old Hearn route would be have Whyte smash a tomato can then talk up an AJ rematch but Turki has thrown the cat amongst the pigeons these days
