    Get ready for Fury vs. Kabayel and Joshua vs. Usyk

    Fury-Kabayel was set for last December but fell through because Top Rank needed fans to make enough money.

    Now they can find plenty of venues that will allow fans.

    Oleksander Usyk can now enforce his mandatory against Joshua because there isn’t an undisputed fight to prevent that from happening.

    Enjoy!

    Fury vs Kabayel is a ****ty fight, but not implausible given Fury's history. Fury vs Wilder 3 is what I would like to see if Fury-Joshua ain't happening.

    Joshua-vs-Usyk would be tricky. Not sure Usyk can easily hurt AJ but he'll try speedy punching combinations a la Ruiz to make AJ go into a panic. AJ cannot outrun Usyk so it will be tricky for AJ if it goes the distance. Personally, I think Usyk is an ordinary fighter at HW given the size and power of today's HWs. He is no Holyfield and would struggle in engaging.

        If Usyk can’t hurt AJ then AJ won’t have any reason to “go into a panic” or try to “outrun” him.

            You dropped the adverb. I said he cannot easily hurt AJ. Sure, every HW can hurt every other HW but the chances are low in some cases and high in others.

              Just like we were supposed to be getting ready for Crawford-Paquiao?

              I have no doubt AJ will be fighting Usyk, but Fury ain't fighting Kaybayel. #1 he can't #2 Arum isn't losing any more money on Fury.

                Ok fair enough. I think we can agree that Usyk’s chances of hurting AJ are lower than Andy Ruiz’ were.

                  You should also hold me accountable for assuming Joshua-Fury was going to happen it and talking about it because it’s the exact same scenario.

                  Promoters said it would be announced.

                  It was reported that contracts were signed.

                  The financing didn’t come through.

                  Not sure why that’s my fault but please hold me accountable.

                    I've never heard contracts were signed for Pacquiao-Crawford, until they reported the fight was off. We only heard (from Bob) that they were negotiating. Crawford fans were acting like it was a done deal.

                    And yes, everyone on this site should be held accountable for their words on the Wilder-Fury-AJ situation.
