    Wilder himself let it slip that he'd turned down more money to fight AJ than he got for fighting Fury. I presume he must have been talking about the $100million DAZN offer there.

    Fury swerved Usyk to "fight" Ngannou instead.
    That's some pretty strange guesswork.
    there's no "Ducking" going on atop the Heavyweights. Follow the money. Fury ducking Usyk? Why? Dubois isn't.

      There's no guesswork involved, just observation and rational, objective thought.

      You should try thinking rationally about the question you asked at the end of your comment.

      If Dubois had been a world champion, instead of a mandatory challeger, and some Saudi Arabian prince had offered him 50 times as much money to fight an MMA guy as he will get for fighting Usyk ... what do you think Daniel would have done?

        That is a good point actually.

        But do you believe Fury will fight Usyk after that Ngannou crap? I don`t.

          Wilder will KO AJ...it's inevitable.

          Wilder won't even give AJ a chance to figure him out. He will land something meaningful on him early, and AJ will just fall apart like he did against Ruiz. If Wilder doesn't KO him on that first initial blow, it will have set up the KO shortly after.

            If Usyk looks good against Dubois, then probably not.

            Frank Warren let something slip in an interview when he got annoyed because the interviewer kept asking him about Fury vs Usyk, when Frank clearly wanted to talk about what a huge, huge, massive, massive MASSIVE event Fury vs Ngannou was going to be. He said there was no point talking about Fury fighting Usyk, because Usyk was going to get knocked out by Daniel Dubois. The interviewer then asked him if he could guarantee that Fury would fight the winner of Usyk vs Dubois. Warren angrily replied that it depends who the winner is. Not very encouraging, eh?

              If you had been a boxing fan as long as me, you would remember that Buster Douglas getting KO'd by Mike Tyson was also inevitable. You would also remember that Evander Holyfield had looked like **** in his last couple of fights before facing Tyson, and hardly anyone gave him a chance against Iron Mike.

                Guess what? Tyson/Douglas & Holyfield won't be fighting, it's completely irrelevant.

                    I noticed how dumb you are, and that you think you are a very knowledgeable because you've been sitting on your ass watching boxing since the 90's...as if that's sooooo long.

                      These are short careers these athletes have, and entering the workforce at 40 is tough. ALL of them should be selling their rare talents to the highest bidder. Both Fury and Dubois should and go for the easy money of whipping a novice boxer who became famous by beating up wrestlers & kickboxers.

                      Will Fury fight Usyk???? I imagine he will.....If Usyk is still around in January. Afterall, Fury fights em' all if they don't lose on the lead-up.
