    I want Fury right away but they may say that Usyk needs to fight mandatory first, Like Joyce or Hrgovic.

    There's probably no point thinking about that, because it is highly likely that Joshua will take the rematch (unfortunately). i'd be happy to see him in there with any of the guys on the poster.

    The winner of Fury-Wilder. And if Fury wins hopefully he wants to fight Usyk next.

    Fury all the way. I think Joshua'll cancel rematch clause. He has zero chance to beat Usyk. Usyk'll floor him this time.

    Fury'll beat another fraud street fighter A.K.A Wilder and dream fight Fury vs Usyk'll happen.

    Joshua won't take that rematch. Maybe in 2-3 fights time but definitely not next. Joyce is mando so id like to see that fight happen next. . Joyce will lose but I think he'll do better than Joshua because of his jab.. AJ had no jab

    I'm not convinced Joshua will go straight back in against Usyk; I think he'd be MAD to do that, he needs to go back to drawing board and build his confidence back up with a new plan. He is young enough to still win a title once Usyk has retired.

    This is not like the Ruiz loss where he can make major adjustments and beat someone he 'blipped' to, far from it. Usyk will always be a tough ask for AJ. Styles Make Fights.

    As for Uysk, I'm somewhat torn - I don't like Wilder much, but I kind of want to see him starch Fury so that we get Usyk v Wilder, because I KNOW Usyk would school Wilder, but I have big doubts he could beat Fury.

    And I want to see Usyk undisputed now.

    Usyk is so mad though I expect he really WANTS Fury, to get maxmium legacy.

    Legend!

    Fury is going to fight Whyte after Wilder guaranteed. Would not shock me if he ducked Usyk for a bit.

    Usyk vs mandatory first, then vs winner between Fury and his mandatory (or Wilder if he doesn't have any)

    I believe he'll fight Joyce then winner of Fury - Wilder.
    He then retires and cements himself as one of the best to ever to do.

    Joshua would be mad to go straight back in with Usyk,he needs a new coach and set of trainers around him and time to rebuild over a few fights before even thinking of fighting Usyk again. I’m sure if Fury wins he has to then fight Whyte who is his mandatory and if Joshua does go ahead with an immediate rematch then that winner (Usyk) has to fight Joyce who is also the mandatory .

    I don’t think Joshua will take the rematch. More than likely he retires or takes an extended break from the sport. There’s nothing he can do in 6 months that will change the result.

    I’d like to see Usyk fight the winner of Wilder-Fury 3.

    Yeah I don't see any of these journos advising against the rematch mentioning that AJ then goes down the pecking order. Who knows what can happen to the belts then. Any elite fight worth their weight takes a shot at a contractually obliged shot at 3 belts, plus of course the pay day.

    AJ definitely takes the rematch as it’s a business decision for him.

    If he can make the rematch closer…he has the chance of stealing a decision win.

    Those cards last night were cooked for him…
