    Usyk-Fury is far and away the clubhouse leader, with 70% believing it will happen.

    There is very little belief any of the other fights will ever happen.

    Wilder doesn't fight contenders if he can avoid it... Only ever did as a cherry pick with what looked like a shot Fury and that ended badly - he'll go right back to ducking or just retire.

    Fury won't fight Joshua... Might not even fight Usyk.


    Couldn't vote for any of them actually happening... Usyk-Fury is a 50/50, the others I'm fairly sure won't happen.

    He's also a serial ducker/coward with a poor resume who's been overhyped like mad... He's not proven to be a top level fighter at all, heck, he might not even be (or have ever been) a genuine contender level fighter.

    It sure is an indictment on the heavyweight division that of 4 potential fights nominated, Usyk-Fury is the only one people actually see happening.

    Perhaps the next generation will be keener to fight each other? We can only hope.

    Usyk-Fury Yes. They seem to have a contract. I will believe it when I see it, but all the same, it seems to be in the works.

    Joshua-Wilder No. Wilder has fought one time in two years and is not serious about boxing, while Joshua continues to rebuild himself. Joshua can continue to forge ahead with Fury in mind.

    Joshua-Fury Yes. Probably still a lucrative and marketable fight that suddenly both sides feel they can win.

    Usyk-Wilder No. The least likely of the bunch. When Usyk is done with his 1-2 fights with Fury, it is either retirement, mandos with Hrgovic and Zhang, or, maybe, as he talked about last year, a return to cruiser. Most likely it is retirement.
