Matchroom had signed 8-year deal worth 1 billion (with a b, not m) dollars with DAZN. They and lots of other sponsors invested billions of dollars on Anthony Joshua. They won't let AJ lose. A big paycheck will make Usyk (and all other fighters) lose to Joshua and will make AJ a bigger superstar. It's a win-win-win situation. Everybody will be winner and richer. I just watched Usyk's interview today. He didn't look ambitious. He was like: "Just give me my paycheck and I will go back to my country and expand my clothing brand". After AJ wins this, then it will be Fury vs AJ. Everybody will be even richer. Tons and tons of money for fighters, promoters, TVs etc.
Hilarious if Usyk goes to war early AJ gets rattled and shook mentally not expecting it engages usyk, blows his load up the wall and gases out. Usyk tip taps him into submission within 4 rounds Epic. But yes scorecards are bought. Usyk ain't winning a close decision.
The idea that everyone will beat Joshua because Joshua is protected is stupid. Do you not remember when he actually lost?
As far as im aware AJ is NOT part of the DAZN deal. That being said they judges cards are already in sadly. Usyk will never get a fair deal if it goes to the cards. Just got to hope Usyk stops AJ
I doubt Usyk is going there to lose. He will give it his all. Yes, there is a huge possibility that Usyk will get robbed on the cards. Usyk is probably walking into the fight minus 3 rounds on the cards. He will need to clearly win about 9 rounds to walk out with a draw. I think a draw or robbery is very likely. Fury is not dependable. Having a draw or robbery with Usyk sets up a rematch if the Fury fight falls through. Not to sell AJ short. I can see AJ winning a legit decision as well. He's got long arms and decent skills himself. We might get a boring overly cautious fight where both fighters are tapping their jab hands at each other. Those type of fights are hard to score, and could result in a legitimate AJ win on the cards.
