    My thoughts are, Joshua wishes Fury would just disappear and everyone forget he even existed

    Rummy: "There was nothing controversial about the outcome of their rematch...."
    I definitely agree with that statement, but a lot of rabid Wilder fans and Wilder himself disagree :lol:

    He’s got tons of money, he would rather not go through a beating.

    AJ should be proud of what he has achieved and what he will continue to achieve under Fury's reign.

    He would have been the dominant champion of this era but some freak of nature probable GOAT called Fury was born.

    It's just a shame AJ doesn't have the self-belief in himself that Fury has. Fury thinks he will wipe the floor with AJ and AJ thinks he is about to go to hell fire and back to try and beat Fury.

    Great importance imo. The two top fighters of the HW division in their prime fighting for the undisputed title. That hasn't happened for a long time. Very rarely in fact.

    Yes, it probably won't include the WBO belt, but that doesn't matter more than that Ali didn't have the WBA belt for most of his first reign.

    Biggest UK fight ever, this will do crazy PPV numbers there. Speaking of which, what were the PPV numbers like for the Pulev fight? Seeing how they haven't been well publicised I'm assuming they're awful.

    I bet Joshua had a breakdown when he seen Fury get up in the 12th against Wilder. I guarantee he had a breakdown after the return

    He probably got excited to see an unskilled bum able to land on Fury

    This.

    Fury will mop the floor with AJ at the pressers and in the ring. Deep down AJ senses this.

    AJ does not do well in situations where he doesn’t control the narrative. Fury is an untamable beast who will expose this side of AJ’s personality. (can’t wait for the pressers)

    In the ring, AJ does well against predictable fighters, the fighters you can easily practice drills for. His best win is great Klitchko who as good as he was, you can easily predict and train for. Klitchko throws only 3 punches: jab, straight right, left hook, that’s it. You can prepare for that, you know what’s coming. As soon as AJ steps into unknown and you ask him to adapt and think on the spot, the wheels come off (Ruiz).

    How will he prepare for someone like Fury? How does anyone prepare for Fury? I think this terrifies AJ, who unless feels fully in control, falls apart rather easily.

    In a recent remake of a Rummy interview with Emmanual Steward, it was good hearing ES rate fighters on their toughness and mental fortitude. He stated that's what seperates the greats from everyone else.

    I believe Fury is tougher and psychology a level above Joshua. So in theory, Fury should take this. However as Mayweather famously put it, "one punch can end your career."

    For the record, I'll be cheering for AJ. He should be the underdog here so will put a few bob on the upset.

    If he’s excited why does he shrink when fury is mentioned
