    Usyk, Zhang are Fury's nearest competition.

    Joshua is not a mandatory for any title 'Zhang is a mandatory for a Heavyweight title'.

    Which titles is Joshua mandatory for?

    What are you afraid of mate? Why don't you want Fury to actually fight top level boxers?

    So you think Usyk is Fury nearest competition, so when is he going to fight him?

        I wouldn't mind seeing Zhang in against any of them: Fury, Usyk, or AJ. ZZ has certain obvious strengths (size, power, southpaw, chin, hand speed) and obvious weakness (output, gas tank). It's makes for interesting matchups. I don't think Zhang goes 3-0 against them but he probably wouldn't go 0-3 either.

            Well, he made it clear he wants to stay active. Whether he wants to step it up in terms of the level of smoke,
            it remains to be seen. One thing I noticed is he doesn't put too much focus on the Wilder/Saudi oil money fight.

            That's why Wilder's case is way worse if you want to compare the level of fear each one have.
            Wilder's only focus is Joshua. No one else. He's not even interested in taking stay-active fights in his home country.
            I don't even understand why his name is still splattered all over this forum. He made himself irrelevant already.
            What's the point?

              If the money is right, Zhang should fight AJ, if this fight can be made. I believe Zhang beats him.

                Zhang should not fight AJ until after he gets his title shot. Dude is old, and deserves his chance.

                  I’d prefer Wilder-Zhang over Wilder-AJ now but I’d take AJ-Zhang too.

                  Would like to see Fury-Zhang if Usyk doesn’t happen. Whether any of these fights take place is another thing, just what I’d like to see as a fan.

                  Would AJ take the Zhang fight? I think he would but seriously doubt Hearn will let him anywhere near him.

                    Zhang is highly ranked contender. he is the closest competition for the champions, not ex champions.
                    If Joshua vs Wilder isn’t going to happen then why can’t Joshua fight Zhang?

                    I bet that would sell well at Wembley Stadium. The people of England just witnessed Zhang stop Joe Joyce twice on their soil so they are very familiar with him now.

                      Zhang is going to be considered high risk low reward.

                      Even if they win they will just get Zhang is 40 years old.


                      Only way that any big name fights him is if the fighter over rules their promoter and forces it, which we have been seeing more and more of, crawford-spence getting made, canelo-bivol, and I think AJ might actually be ok with fighting Zhang, I know damn sure his managers dont want it
