There's no demand for AJ and Fury to fight each other, only for each to face Wilder

    There's certainly a race to get to Wilder, the weakest of the three, but to drive the division he'd need to be the biggest draw, or hold the most titles, or be the top ranked fighter etc etc you get the drift.

    Happy to see them all fight each other, but if I were limited to only seeing one fight it would be AJ vs Fury, which I believe will ultimately be the decider for this generation of heavyweights:

    Ring 1 vs 2
    The former champ vs the young pretender
    Lineal vs actual
    Cumulative power puncher vs technician
    North vs South (a UK thing somewhat akin to East coast vs West)
    Clean living corporate friendly media trained Media darling vs fat beer drinking 'keeping it real' cokehead who says what he likesMedia bad boy
    Olympic Gold medalist vs misogynist outsider
    Mr consistent vs Comeback king
    African warrior tradition vs Gypsy fighting culture
    etc etc.

    AJ vs Wilder should be great, but it's ultimately an appetiser for us here in the UK at least...

    In America there does not seem to be any demand for Wilder full stop. His numbers, his stock, his worth and his value all seem to going backwards. Hes got less people going to watch his fights and less people watching him on TV.

    The inactive suicidal drug-ravaged bloated shadow of Fury's shot ghost already beat Bum Squad's ass over on his manor but predictably, as is common practice over there, Haymon Zero Protection Services robbed the foreigner of their deserved and rightful win, a gypsy man no less who'd risen like a gypsy phoenix from the ashes of a smouldering deluxe caravan after having been dragged through hell and back by the powers that be who tried to frame an innocent gypsy for a crime he did not do.

    Let Mr Have Gloves Won't Travel Bum Squad dust off his passport and bring that belt of his (or rather Fury's belt) over to the epicentre off HW boxing ie. The British Isles and prove his uncoordinated windmilling spastic fraud ass can beat a live body on a playing field that isn't heavily weighted in his favour.

    You Bum Squad bum sniffers think Fury should volunteer his services to get robbed blind for a second time over in the US like they did to Russian gypsy Matt Korobov in back to back fights lol.

    Nobody knew who Bum Squad was in the USA until Fury's gift of the gab, charisma, and gypsy salesmen skills dragged him from obscurity into the the limelight. Bum Squad owes everything to The Gypsy King but he won't even contemplate contemplating fighting him on his turf even though he's walking round with The Gypsy King's belt wrapped around his waist and The Gypsy King is solely responsible for raising Bum Squad's profile immeasurably in his own homeland lol

    2013 quote from Bum Squad on fighting Fury

    ''I would fight him anywhere," said Wilder. "I'm a traveller, a global fighter, I fight anywhere all over the world that's how you become legendary. You become legendary by not being afraid to go into enemy territory when the time comes or when duty calls.''

    Well what did Bum Squad do when duty called? He bolted into the darkest corner of the chicken coop like the feathered fraud he is.

    As for AJ. Well, AJ is the A-side, the star, the draw, the cash cow, and his resume (both amateur and pro) poops all over Bum Squad's despite him having only had half the amount of fights as him and if Bum Squad can somehow manage to pluck up the courage for his day of reckoning with AJ it's got to happen in the UK too ie. the home of the three-belt unified king, draw, and A-side by a country mile.

    There's no demand for the second biggest fight in boxing....? Are you tuh-ripping?
    You sound like one of those Americans without a passport.
    This would be the biggest fight in the UK I'm my lifetime for sure.
    I even think Fury's tendency to lower the punch out put would fail largely in this one two, forcing him to go toe-to-toe inside like his Chisora fight(s).
    I would love to see a trilogy between AJ and Fury.

    Although I’d rather see AJ v Wilder I actually think AJ v Fury is the bigger, more marketable fight. It easily sells out 100k seater at Wembley or Twickenham and the PPV would be huge.
