    Your top 5 opponents for Fury

    Some people seem to be suggesting Whyte isn't worthy of challenging Fury even though he avenged his loss?

    Interested to hear who you would like to fight next Fury instead?

    For the purposes of this, we'll assume Usyk and AJ are off the table as they are fighting each other next.

    Edit-tbh I did struggle to think of anyone after Whyte and Joyce that I was interested in.

    I'll go, in order:
    1) Whyte (for me the obvious best fight next)
    2) Joyce (really intriguing fight against someone who doesn't stop coming, but VERY green, so will be dismantled as a good win later)

    Struggling now...
    3) Ruiz (should be straightforward at this point, but a good fight for Fury to come back to and for marketing purposes)
    4) Hunter??? I mean not exactly worthy if Whyte isn't, but his speed will prove a real challenge)
    ​​​
    ​​​​​​5) Parker(?) Can't happen as they are friends,
    ​​but who else?

    Edit- Some people seem to have very strong emotions towards Whyte and Matchroom, please just pick your top opponents!

      I wouldn’t say not worthy it’s just a bit of a waste of time considering Fury will do to him what he did to Chisora so it’s going to be a boring pointless fight. Don’t need a top 5 just 1 then see what happens with Usyk/Joshua and go for all the belts. I would honestly rather him fight Joyce even though he’s a slow plodder so it won’t be all that much different at least you know he will give it a better go, the Wallin situation didn’t help either tbf.

        You wouldn't want to see Fury fight anyone besides Joyce?

        I want to see that too, but let's face it, the guy beat a very green Dubois and that's it... Surely there's other opponents?

          Anthony Joshua down the line as i still think that needs to be settled once and for all i think Fury beats his ass but it will be a good fight for sure. Joyce, Usyk, Joshua other than that I don’t really care. I think he will retire after 2 more fights unfortunately, his wife has all but confirmed it.

              Very green (but interesting) list!

              That more important than experience? Some of these guys have fought nowhere near domestic level yet

                Usyk and/or Joshua, I'm not really interested in anything else.

                I'm not sure I'd class Joyce as green, he's 36 with tons of amateur experience.

                  They're fighting each other, so who else?

                  Joyce is old, so I wouldn't be against the fight due to his age, but he is green in terms of pro. He arguably has never fought above domestic level.

                  Iyo, Fury should just sit out or retire? Trying to be respectful in this thread, but I don't understand why boxing fans don't want to watch... Boxing...

                  Retiring or sitting out should be the last option that we want, no?

                    Don't understand the idea that no-one can beat Fury, therefore he doesn't really need to fight anyone.

                    It's not the case at any weight, but certainly not in the Heavyweights.
