    Fury took Wilders best. I doubt Ajagba hits anywhere near as hard. Lets be serious this is a mismatch, foolish for Ajagba to take at this stage of his career.

    Fury would make Ajagba look absolutely awful. If this goes down it would say to me theyre just trying to cash out Efe before somebody good exposes him, which will happen. So they may as well make the money now.

    It is going to be Kabayel.

    This.
    I just realized Efe is promoted by Arum, so they are just throwing his name out there to get him some attention.
    5 bucks that next time Efe fights, they will bring up Fury.

    The poorest of the potential rumoured opponents. Ajagba is just a younger version of Wilder - a limited, very flawed, glass jawed fighter relying soley on his punching power.

    In his defence, Rice tends to be a boxer that comes to fight rather than lay down

    Interesting

    Personally, i see very little similarities in the two
    Maybe ill watch a few more of his fights
    (i admittedly have only seen 4 or 5)

    Total mismatch Ajagba was dropped by Kiladze a blown up cruiser and looked awful in recent fights. He's slow, predictable, has no defence whatsoever and is wide open for the right hand. Plus is style relies on his height an reach and against Fury his biggest advantages are non existent. Easy nights work for Fury.

    If it happens I see it as Ajagba's people cashing out, knowing he'll get exposed at some point and it's better to cash in now that lose to some C lister.

    Ajagba is a more exciting and unpredictable opponent for Fury than Kabayel would be.

    It would make a great fight.

    Wilder KO1's Efe. Terrible opponent, he brings nothing to the table that Fury hasn't already seen a thousand times, and I say that is someone who likes Efe. Quite frankly, the guy that actually stopped Jonathan Rice, Dempsey McKean just based on styles, would be a better opponent for Fury. Come to think of it, how about an Otto Wallin rematch?

    Only Makhmudov had an easy time against that "journeyman", who had Yoka holding and running for dear life (that fight could have gone either way) and had McKean (who showed up n the best shape ever) down and badly hurt at some point before the last minute stoppage.
    Against Ajagba he came in at 265 pounds, usually he fights above 280, so he was actually in great shape (for his standarts).
    Don't get me wrong, Ajagba is clearly a work in progress and not ready to fight for a world title, but let's not pretend that someone like Dubois has beaten better fighters than him atm.

    The Nigerian connection... AJ, Ajagba and Fury wearing a Nigeria gum shield against Wilder.


    Right.. I'm off to make a conspiracy video on YouTube, scary music and loads of stuff about shapeshifters and lizards.. obviously all connected to Nigeria.
