    Fury V AJ still sells Wembley or the Spurs ground. It's still big money, and they will both want the attention and possibly shot in the arm it does to their careers.

    He,ll come back for a warm up fight for joshua....before the joshua fight falls through. Easy money. Surely at this point its either straight to joshua or stay retired.

    Best thing he can do at this point is sign to fight AJ, pull out injured. Sign to fight him again and pull out injured again. That way he does a bigger demolition job on AJ than if he fought him, as he can’t deal with another 12 months of inactivity at this stage of his career. Kind of like what he did to Wlad.

    I would be interested in watching him if he faced a Kabayel or Itauma type, an up and comer. We don’t need to see him fighting has beens like AJ.

    Let's be honest, we'd all watch Joshua - Fury.
    Then they can both retire.

    Fury could be in a lot of entertaining matches but I couldn't care less about the noise around this bloke. Him nor the rest of the Kinny crew Sprencer Brahn etc.

    I don't think it's something he undertakes on his own, his management team would have told him to do it in order to keep himself relevant. It's just marketing strategy.

    He is still more than capable of beating every current heavyweight bar Usyk.

    This narrative that’s now being pushed by Fury, his dad and his team etc that he’s been robbed twice against Usyk is bull**** and nothing more than trying to drum up enough attention from the casuals for a trilogy cash grab. He probabky won 7 or 8 rounds in the combined 24 with Usyk.. competitive fights but not close.

    To be relevant again, he needs to beat a Kabayel or at least impressively win these two proposed fights with AJ. Even then, Usyk will be gone by the time they’ve happened. If this narcissist walks straight back into a third fight with Usyk, I’d lose a lot of respect for Team Usyk as you’ve got Parker, the before mentioned Kabayel or even a Itauma fight to take as your swansong.

    Its been a disgrace how the public has treated the greatest british heavyweight of his generation. He should be hailed & knighted.

    Fury is still the best out there not named usyk as the fight in july will prove when dubois is outclassed again

    John Fury must have been a cert for a knighthood as well until cowardice kicked in when his bluff was called.

    Reputation as a hard man melted in front of our eyes.

    Didn't Carl Froch say he had Fury winning like 3-4 rounds?

    I’d like to see Joshua vs Fury just to see how their styles match up. The win does nothing for Fury though. Beating Joshua isn’t really that impressive these days
