    He will have to watch his chin against AJ.

    He wouldn't fight AJ again. What is the point?

    I'm not evangelical or believe in Jebus, but you are criticising someone for turning the other cheek and helping someone in need? You are seriously a ruined human being.

    Usyk would find Joshua’s weaknesses, and devises ways to defend them, while finding his real strengths, and emphasizing those and he would be able to fashion Joshua from a stiff low level boxer puncher into a very feel fighter.

    Usyk has been raised to respect other people. Generally boxers show animosity against their opponents - this is what we expect, but a lot of that is to sell fights imo. Let Usyk remain unique, it is refreshing and honourable - much more tasteful than eating children and the like.

    If AJ beats Fury in December, there will be a 3rd fight between AJ and Usyk, for the undisputed championship.

    I still don't see the point, but not much surprises me nowadays - ie I could be completely wrong and they fight again.

    You will say, because he wants to be undisputed, but if AJ beats Fury then Usyk will know he is the best, paper titles won't mean much.

    To those who say Fury whips AJ, YDKSAB. Win, maybe - Fury is a great fighter, but he isn't destroying AJ, who is also a great fighter, who stylistically provides threats that Fury has not faced, particularly fighting Wilder who has zero boxing fundamentals.

    The different organizations don't rank other orgs champs as contenders. If AJ beats Fury, he will be a champ, not a mandatory.

    Usyk should train the bodybuilder I agree.

    Usyk is a good man. A genuinely good man. A great man even. Perhaps even the greatest living man.

    This is some Apollo training Rocky stuff, except AJ didn’t beat Usyk obviously.

    I’ve got loads of respect for Usyk, this just adds to it.

    True sportsmanship, just another reason why Usyk is my man!

    Spending time with AJ can be very beneficial for both of them. Usyk, imo, has a keen boxing mind. For him to observe & interact with AJ in the ring in a relaxed situation can only benefit him and add to his already considerable knowledge. Whether they fight again or not, this seems a smart move by Usyk, and a wonderful display of good will from one champion to another!

    If they fight again, it would not be smart.

    Joshua will not beat Fury.
