Comments Thread For: John Fury Backs Anthony Joshua To Beat Oleksandr Usyk in Their Rematch

[RoadMan94]

A.J was offered fights when Usyk postponed . He could have easily dropped a belt to stay active but chose not to .

Usyk never postponed the first fight and that’s the fight being spoken about, you’ve quoted them without even knowing the conversation.

Usyk postponed because of war. Joshua wasn’t offered no fight. He was looking at a potential interim fight IF Usyk needed longer. Hearn offers fighters the chance to fight AJ not vice versa.

I was born fighting all my life and I was small and always fought bigger people and that transpired into learning techniques about fighting but heart either you have it, or you don’t.

Yeah, but surely that proves my point? You were fighting tough customers, so had no choice but to develop heart, no? If you were cowering in the corner you’d have had your head kicked in!

Conversely, if you’ve never been through tough circumstances, you’ll never get the chance to develop grit

Don’t think you can be born with it either. Develops through tough experiences

There’s never not once on this forum when someone said they back a fighter was it a question of they are picking a winner .

Now that it’s A.J here we go ,now it’s means something else .

Not even sure what that means but ok. I don't have an angle (or in this case some "anti-AJ" angle) like apparently some people do. It simply sounded a lot to me like he'd LIKE him to win so he can fight his son. Just like I said. Just my 2 cents, don't get yourself all bent out of shape or read into it, there's nothing there.

I guess no one has told John, you can't buy heart you need to be born with it! Anthony think it's hiring a new trainer under short notice that will work; but that won't cut it either, but I was told if you get a heart transplant you may have something.

No, you do NOT have to give ANYONE credit for facing a difficult mandatory instead of dropping a belt. He did what he was supposed to do.

John wants AJ to win to have son and Joshua at Wembley in front of a packed crowd.

I favour Usyk to win again, but Joshua has a puncher's chance I guess.

Gotta give credit to AJ, he's a big moneymaker but took a fight in Usyk he didnt have to last year, as Canelo with Bivol.

So when he says he "backs" Joshua to win I'm feeling he'd LIKE him to win, not that he necessarily believes he's GOING to win.
