Is Anthony Joshua vs Usyk 2 off?

[786]

It's a bad situation for the Ukrainian fighters, I hope this doesn't affect their careers but it's very possible that it will. As for AJ v Usyk 2, it's not looking good for the foreseeable future. It's hard to tell if AJ even wants it, he doesn't seem anywhere near as keen for this rematch as he was for Ruiz. We'll see, it's a fight I wanted to happen to see the adjustments AJ makes, improvements Usyk may make, as well as a step closer to an undisputed fight.

It's not a delay caused by promoters/fighters playing silly games, unfortunately it's one of those unavoidable situations. I'm even more glad now that Fury v Whyte is signed since there might be potential delays with Usyk. It would've been a mess if AJ accepted a step-aside deal for Fury v Usyk which would've likely been delayed/cancelled because of the war in Ukraine and we'd potentially be left with no big fights at heavyweight.

I wonder if this delay will cause Usyk just to wait for the winner of Fury/Whyte in April.
Then have Hearn and the Saudi’s give AJ a big step aside offer with a guarantee to fight the winner next.
Seems that would be the best option. AJ shouldn’t jump into a rematch he’s likely to lose.

It looks like ***** has saved AJ's career!

When is the cut off point for this fight cause surely there will come a time when they all say they have to move on. Sadly I don’t see this war ending any time soon, ***** is not changing his mind.
