    I don't see why Fury can't fight him in the summer... and then afterwards, whatever the result, Fury can fight his windmill for the 3rd time in September, while Joshua fights Usyk.

    Usyk. Unified, undisputed, Undefeated CW who is his mandatory.

    That will probably be a better fight than Tyson fury

    Someone that's not 47.5
    Or someone that has not fought in 19 months
    And definitely not someone who only has like 13 fights but a decent looking record

    Usyk definitely. And even an Usyk that has lost a step still gives AJ fits.

    Issue for Usyk is he will have to make it an utter schooling, or KO/TKO Joshua, as if it's even in 117-111 / 116-112 territory, i'm sure Joshua will get the decision.

    Uysk is the obvious choice he has mandatory status and is known to the UK boxing public after his fights with Bellew and Chisora.

    If no Fury then AJ will be fighting Usyk, this went up 10 mins ago, MJP said she's spoken to Usyks team this morning and they have had messages from Hearn this morning and will be talking in an hour.

    Usyks promoter quoted as saying "there is a fight to make"

    Yeah this sounds like it's really off,

    Apparently Wilder has quoted Hearn a HUGE figure to step aside.

    He wants that rematch with Fury and looks to be basically forcing it.


    And to top it off Hearn has already contacted Usyks team to make a fight.

    Usyk because it's who he'd be fighting anyway and he's lucky he's not already lost the belt.

    Usyk could seriously embarrass AJ... I'd be extremely worried if I was AJ..

    I think Usyks style is awful for AJ, absolutely awful.

    100% but AJs best chance if wants to keep hold of those belts is to take Usyk when he's still very much fresh at HW..
