    Unfortunately as much as we all want it I can't honestly envisage us ever seeing AJ Vs wilder or fury.

    AJ firstly needs to beat pulev, he should but pulev is very durable and can box, potential banana skin but 1 AJ should win.

    Next up usyk, now I have always thought that usyk would beat Joshua , boxing on the back foot and keeping that tempo up against Ruiz is one thing boxing on the back foot and being made to constantly adjust and work against the likes of usyk is a completely different story, I know I'm in the minority but I think usyk outboxes Joshua over 12 rounds, if this was to happen the rematch clause probably wouldn't take place until April 2021, if AJ was to win another mandatory would be called which would more than likely means Joshua fights dillian Whyte autumn 2021. Meaning that the earliest potential fight for all the belts could be December 2021.

    Wilder if he beats fury would have to fight hi m again in the summer or pay off the contract which he won't do and would take the fight again as he would be confident of another victory. After this he would fight again probably November 2021 against a voluntary more than likely Dave Allen!!!!! or someone similar then he would have to face his mandatory in Feb 2021 probably be Whyte, not sure how this fight would go I think Whyte has a chance early of getting the knockout but I would favour wilder to win, if he didn't of course there will be a rematch clause probably be late summer 2021.

    If fury was to beat wilder wouldn't surprise me if he retired to be honest but more than likely would take the trilogy, if he wins and he can't secure the AJ fight for reasons stated above I think he would definitely retire, can't see him giving Whyte a shot even though he says he would and if any of the belts are stripped or lost by AJ they wouldn't fight same for wilder.

    I truly believe fury will retire after the 3rd wilder fight meaning the WBC becomes vacant so that would be we early to mid 2021 and that would be Whyte Vs tbc.

    Don't want to be the bearer of bad news but all the talk of an undisputed fight are years away in my opinion, wilder can keep saying one name one face blah blah blah Joshua can keep talking about wanting the fury and wilder fight but will always price himself out of it and God knows really what fury will do .

    So 2 years from now we could have potential talks taking place for a undisputed.

    Who are you, why are you talking like your opinion really matters?

    Pulev is a potential banana skin for Joshua...don't make me laugh. Pulev is rated highly on here by some people for some strange reason. When AJ finally gets his hands on him you will see the levels.

    Usyk will beat Joshua? How did you come up with that? Usyk hasn't been hit by someone Joshua's size and someone with his power. How the f*** do you know how he will cope?

    I would be very surprised if we get a third match between Wilder and Fury.

    People on here I don't know who they are probably trolls, they must be because Pulev is awful.

    I think we have a better chance of AJ vs Fury happening than AJ vs Wilder

    And that’s coming from someone who thinks wilder stops fury next month

    I just think it’s a too good to miss for Hearn and AJ to fight Fury in a big uk fight at Wembley, it’s easy money!!

    The winner fights wilder, the loser fights either whyte, usyk or ddd

    It will be 2021 if at all. Obviously Wilder and Fury are tied up with a trilogy this year and Joshua is tied up with mandatories. 2021 there should be no excuse although maybe it might be the WBC turn to call a mandatory then!

    People are overlooking the fact that PBC really like to keep things in-house. Even if AJ and Wilder keep winning and there are no mandatories, there's no guarantee that the fight gets made. If I had to bet, I would lean towards this fight not happening. Wilder vs Fury only got made because it was on Showtime and they thought Fury was finished. I've heard that the rematch is only being made because Wilder demanded it. PBC and Top Rank have incentive working together because Eddie Hearn is their common enemy. Some will say that the money involved will make the fight happen, but I suspect Al Haymon values the longterm business monopoly more than short-term financial gain.

    Wilder v Fury 3 only happens if the 2nd fight is good. If Fury UD's him or Wilder Knocks Fury out early then a 3rd fight is pointless.

    I have given up completely on anyone becoming the undisputed Heavyweight Champion of Puddonia World in the medium term.

    The WBSS type tourney for the 4 belt holders and 4 mandatories is the only way forward with any belts stripped for non participants. (Obviously the next highest ranked fighter(s) gets in should someone still hold 2 or more belts.)

    Far too many excuses whether money, TV, promoters, padded record protection - they should all take a look at Josh Taylor in 2019 taking 2 fights that could have easily been 2 years down the line.

    The bodybuilder will lose those shiny belts before he has a opportunity to negotiate with Wilder or Fury. Losing to the blob has already messed up the timetable, and bargaining power Anthony once had. And it don't look like the greedy bodybuilder would vacate a belt, to make a lucrative fight. Even Lewis dropped the wba belt for legacy!
