    The WBC have made that assumption much more reasonable.

    Which I say is bad.

    I hear what you're saying but a potential undisputed fight for all the belts (providing Joshua beats Usyk) trumps one with Usyk surely?

    Besides now we probably get to watch the undisputed fight in the summer. Beer garden, lovely weather, ice cold pints.

    Disagree.

    AJ looks really weak saying, basically, that he will take step-aside money. It's possible that someone is giving him advice so bad that he is signalling he wants 40m (for example) even though 40m is clearly not available, but I doubt it.

    He has said what he has said for a reason, the reason is he would consider negotiating step-aside money.

    My personal opinion is that AJ would rather fight Fury than Usyk. This is because Usyk utterly thrashed him and whenever he's alone and on the edge of sleep, or on a long drive, he thinks about that. Because it's a disturbing thing to happen.

    AJ wants to fight the top guy, yeah but out of rematching Usyk and getting x to let Usyk-Fury fight and then maybe fighting Fury, my opinion is he would rather get x to maybe fight Fury.

    I don't think that's a pipe-dream at all. Nothing in there appears unusual or strange even a little bit.

    But I definitely could be wrong.

    I've heard all this before with Fury-Aj and AJ-Wilder. Both were brutally derailed.

    If you personally prefer AJ-Usyk and Fury-Whyte to Fury-Usyk now, I got no problem with that - taste is taste and watch what you want.

    I want Usyk-Fury.

    Ideally Fury would fight Usyk, and AJ waits and fights a tune up, perhaps against Whyte, so Dillian gets his payday too.

    I don't prefer that one bit I'm merely trying to give it a positive spin.

    This would probably be the only option that would be ok for Whyte, he still gets a nice payday and another one if he wins.

    If AJ can be paid to step aside, then so can Whyte.
    If people actually think it is worth it.

    Well I am happy for them. It’s all up to them now to see if they can deliver on the night.

    Whyte definitely has a decent chance of beating Fury. Outside Fury's win against old gunshy 39yo Wlad and limited Wilder x3, who is there?

    Whyte is a game opponent and he will take it to Fury.. Say what you like about him, unbalanced, clumsy etc but he has a nice vicious jab, quite painful looking bodyshots, a great left hook and a powerful right hand (rocked Chisora 2 or 3 times in fight 2). And he isn't 39. I won't be at all surprised if Whyte tkos him.. And I also wouldn't be surpised if Fury chisorad him... All in all should be a very very good fight unless Fury comes to fight like how he did Wlad.

    Wach v Miller was a corner stoppage, with Wach still standing and trading, but exhausted. Bakole didn't drop him either. The referee stepped in. So Wach's chin is proven.

    And...Haye didn't KO Chisora...
    Chisora beat the count but the referee decided he'd taken enough punishment.
    So, Whyte was the first to KO Chisora.

    Nice try though

    Well I think you are going to have wait and hope Fury beats Whyte and Usyk wins the rematch AJ because the opponents are so tough that it’s likely 1 or both champions could lose these fights.

    Whyte isn't stepping aside. He has been waiting long enough and not a chance he steps aside.

    Just for arguments sake who would go first after Fury v usuyk? Whyte or AJ?

    The idea that both would step aside and then one of them would need to wait again for there shot is nothing but fantasy.

    Fury should beat and get rid of Whyte. Like I said, the problem is White not AJ. AJ gonna step aside.
