    This mega fight is in the works next up.

    Who wins and how do they win?

    Wilder and Pulev would both need to step aside to allow this to happen. It might be in Wilders interests to do so, as it could mean his rematch would generate more cash. It shouldn’t cost too much to buy Pulev off.

    Both Wilder and Pulev won't step aside (can't blame them) but one way or the other this fight will be made.

    Fury all day long. You can analyse this potential fight all day long but the fact of the matter is is that Fury is just too good.

    If I was Wilder I’d definitely take the money. I’d then ko a soft touch, gain some confidence, credibility with the easily impressed and more money. Then fight the winner for even more money and belts.
    Fury by comfy unanimous decision.

    Heavweight boxing, anything can happen yada yada.... but I can only see this as UD for Fury. Wilder is a horrible technician and I think this suits a Kronk bust'em up style (if you are a 6ft9 highly skilled, awkward, herky-jerky giant). But Joshua is a much better boxer and carries enough power to stop Fury. I predict points and Klitchko-esque display, if Fury's body will still allow that.

    I think he can win that way no problem. He is 100% physically capable pf beating Joshua that way but is also physicaly and technically capable of stopping Joshua. If he fought in the kronk style i would be shocked if Joshua heard the final bell.

    I think all the talk of this next up is just that, talk.

    This fight doesn't take place unless they can sell tickets for it, lot's and lot's of them at big prices.

    They will talk about it because it buys free exposure in the global press. It won't happen though.

    Eddie Hearn says he has received a few offers to put this fight on next, and is considering it.

    Fury by brutal KO, Joshua has zero chance

    Fury is better in every aspect except AJ hits slightly harder

    Fury is the better boxer, the better fighter, more skilled, faster, more durable, more heart, more versatile.

    If Joshua comes in at low 230's and tries to run he will get wildered, if he comes in 250 Fury will give him a masterclass in boxing.

    Joshua is a fraud Who got beaten half to death and quit Vs a little fatty, it's a disgrace to mention him with Fury

    Yes, as I said above, he will talk about it, the papers will carry stories featuring his quotes, there will be talk on here and in other social media. Matchroom and MTK will monitor the press coverage and the social traffic and they will use that data in conversations with broadcasters and potential locations.

    My bet is the fight won't happen next. Wilder and Pulev would both need paying off, potentially Usyk also unless the WBO play ball.

    Then there's the virus. Air travel will be sketchy for months and many won't want to risk it. Mass travel may be discouraged. Saudi may not be so ready to outbid anyone for a boxing match on their soil whilst the bottom has dropped out of the oil market.

    Yes there could be appetite from people stuck in lockdown, but many would baulk at laying out for an inflated PPV whilst their own jobs are on the line. Plus if there's no crowd it probably won't be a compelling spectacle in any case.

    They will want to build this and they won't want this most valuable of fights to be used as a test case for how boxing words during the pandemic. That honour will fall to less high profile fights.

    This is boxing, we will probably never get undisputed, see something will happen Joshua will lose one of the belts and we will have a modern day John Ruiz hiding out defending a paper belt

    As soon as wilder activated the rematch clause I was all but certain we wouldn't see undisputed, the virus just guarantee it

    I just can't see how this current version of Fury beats AJ. Pre coke, food binge and retirement Fury on the PEDs then yes it would make for a competitive fight against AJ. I am not even sure if AJ fights and beats Fury that he would be amongst best opponents AJ has beaten.

    We really need to see Fury fight one of the better fighters in divison to judge what level he is actually which you can't tell against such poor opposition in Wallin, Schwarz, Wilder, Seferi and Pianetta.
