Comments Thread For: Joshua Backs Fury To Beat Wilder, Hopes For Undisputed Fight After Usyk

[Jab jab boom]

He's asked about who he picks for the Wilder-Fury fight and he says his take is Fury, but good luck to both of them, and then goes on to say he has to defend his own title and talks about his preparation with the Olympic team.

And your contribution is to say he should worry about his own match?

yep, that’s my exact contribution. Perhaps you haven’t been reading the multiple articles this week where he’s had way more to say about Wilder and Fury than he has about Usyk. This is the 4th one this week where his main focus has been on Wilder and Fury more than Usyk, and your contribution is to be butt hurt about my comment?

Wilder was never interested in any kind of unification, even $120m wasn't enough a reward to motivate him. But now that he's about to be put further back in the line he's suddenly interested in undisputed championship. Wilder is all loud mouth when it comes to fighting top ten guys.

I don't think Wilder wanted to be under DAZN's umbrella. It's not a good spot Eddie just yapping all the time not knowing how to handle business in the US.

Fury's been on the 8balls and pints happy he got away with one. Even listening to Sugar in his corner last fight I'll just say something seemed off about that last fight.

I guess everything will be out in the open July 24th

Wilder fights either the Ortiz-Ruiz winner, or Whyte next.

AJ has a rematch with Usyk.

Fury retires after getting his head knocked off.

My money is on Fury for all the marbles. I’ve been saying it since Klitchko. Many thought that fight was a snooze fest, I just saw a young artist paint a masterpiece. He’s a triple threat, size, skill, and boxing IQ. A true giant among giants. Bet against the Gypsy King at your own peril.

Only casuals think it was boring.

I watched a masterclass, Fury completely disarmed and dismantled the greatest HW of the era, a man who had been a champion for 12 years and who had never previously been outboxed.

No kidding. But can you beat either? Doubtful

My contribution wasn't to be 'butt hurt'. It was to point out the redundancy in posting a comment advising him to focus on his title defence in response to an article in which his words were literally saying he was focussing on his title defence.

worth turning down $120m and a shot at undisputed because Eddie Hearn yapping all the time is annoying?”

hahaha

have you read more statements from Joshua regarding Wilder and Fury than you have where he mentions Usyk? If you have been keeping up, your answer should be yes. So as I said, he’s best off worrying more about his next fight and less about the heavyweights he’s yet to face.

In the second fight Fury did a masterful job of closing the distance and not letting Wilder load up that bomb.
Once Wilder realized his power shots weren’t effective at close distance he was done.
The chess match here is if Wilder can adjust and find a way to keep Firy off him with movement and timing. I don’t think he has the skills to do it and is going to get beaten again. Probably worse.

[VislorTurlough]

Fury will win. Wilder should perform better - I mean can’t do worse! But zero reason for someone who wants to hang onto their wallet to believe the better fighter, who won minimum 14 rounds, won’t do it again
