      Fury beats AJ every single time (assuming Fury is mentally there now he has lost his 0 and realised someone is legit better than him).

      Would be the biggest UK boxing event maybe of all time.​

        90,000 at Wembley is hard to ignore. Maybe just as lucrative as the Saudi ****.
        A packed Wembley is nowhere near as lucrataive as Saudi at all.

        To give you an idea, Wembley Wlad AJ gate did about 8m (yes prices will have gone up since) gate in Vegas 20k arena were making more in the biggest fights.

        Most the money comes from PPV and in US PPV costs x3 as it does the UK and the tickets prices are a LOT higher. That is why for US fights make more than UK (talking about the big ppv events).

        With Saudi what they pay outweighs anything made in US and UK

          Yeah Saudi have f-ed it for lucrative events now. Tbf I don't know what % of the gate they would get from a packed Wembley, but yeah Saudi would probably outbid, just because they can. And I think AJ is also fully sucking on Saudi meat these days.

          Let's just hope their egos would like to feed more on getting the adulation of fans rather than all the money they no longer need.

            He saw the prefilled scorecards in the 9th which is why he looked so scared when he got clobbered into another dimension during that round.

            Poor sausage.

              He never even looked like that when he was temporarily sparked out cold by Wilder. I'm sure he respected Usyk, but I doubt he ever imagined being pummelled the way he was, by a smaller and less powerful guy.

                Exactly. As much as a good beatdown is exciting to watch I honestly felt a bit sickened when his eyes rolled back. That has to mean he took some severe brain damage.

                The 9th round will live in his head forever now and Usyk has that huge psychological advantage over him. That look of total fear was right before Usyk was about to turn his lights out and the ref actually blocked Usyk from laying in that fight ending punch.

                  This has more to do with the Saudis intervening rather than any difference in mentality between Usyk and Joshua.

                  One thing you need to give credit to AJ is that he took all fights regardless of difficulty. Yes it’s a shame that the fights with Wilder and Fury weren’t made but we saw in Usyk vs Fury as well how hard it was to bring them to the table.

                  If the Saudis had intervened earlier we almost certainly would’ve got AJ vs Wilder as well.

                    Fury-AJ would probably still do very well. Your country still supported Del Boy after 20 losses or however many it was.

                      I think Fury beats Joshua every day and each day.

                      Just, I am not so sure that will ever happen, Fury, if he even fights on, will want Usyk rematch only.

                      Turki will not put Saudi money for two Usyk`s victims fighting each other in England. warren and Hearn couldn`t make this fight when it really mattered.
