Joshua knock out Usyk? That seems hopeful from Eddie.

More likely it goes the distance, or a tko win for Usyk.

There's a reason the WBC gave Fury until Aug 26 to confirm his retirement. It gives Fury the option to wait out the result of this fight. Fury it seems is scared to fight one of them...I'm not sure which one...but if he retires then we know it's whoever the winner is.

IBO was one of Wladimir Kiltschko's most valued titles.

The belts don't make the fighter, the fighter makes the belts.

After Joe Calzaghe's reign, the WBO title increased in prestige etc.

i've said this all along. The Usyk/Joshua winner picks up the Ring belt & due to public pressure Fury comes back out of retirement looking to reclaim it a second time, thus becoming a 3 time champion.
While I'm here look out for Sulaiman to announce Ruiz Vs Wilder for the vacant WBC title.

Calling Usyk to beat Fury all day long, but I doubt Fury’s actually physically trembling about fighting anyone. He’s been in boxing all his life and seen it all

Well said. Provenance is the history of ownership of an item. It certainly affects the value of something. Some things lose luster and others gain luster depending on the popularity/acclaim of how and who it’s changed hands to as things are ever evolving.
