    Yeah, but the fight wasn't that exciting.

    And at this stage, is there even a demand to see Fury in a UK stadium fight aside from the Joshua fight? Ironically, that’s now become as much of a novelty fight as Eubank Jnr v Conor, rather than the legacy-defining clash it could have been a few years ago.

    Personally, I don’t see it. Usyk 3 is just another cash-out, and aside from that and Joshua, does it even warrant a stadium? Fury’s not going to take a 50% pay cut to fight a ball-breaker like Itauma or even Dubois.

    And the longer he’s out, the more chance Joshua has of just catching him. The Usyk fights already showed his legs can no longer carry him 12 rounds at the elite level.

    But he’s another who won’t be able to resist one more fight.

    2020 I would've given Fury a 90% or more chance of beating Joshua. However, it's like how an ex pro who was maybe a legend could then lose to a Brit level guy because he's been retired for five years and has blown up etc. You need to be physically fit or able bodied. Fury's legs were gone in 2018. It's nearly 2026 and Joshua is still a proper athlete. I think Fury's gone too far. He didn't disgrace himself against Usyk but I don't think he was physically near his best. Joshua, who is very stiff, would look like a proper athlete against Fury these days. A bit of herky jerky wouldn't be enough to stop Fury from looking stiff. It's all about the legs and coordination that gives that fluidity. Joshua would put Fury to shame across athletic parameters. I have heard that Joshua doesn't like doing long runs these days and hasn't for years but I also don't believe Fury's long distance running and gas tank tales. I think it's all a load of bollocks.
