Comments Thread For: Offer will be made for 'huge' Tyson Fury-Anthony Joshua showdown

[Claude Palle]

If Dubois could withstand an early storm, he may just crack A.J and send his fragile arse in to retirement.

[Phase III]

If I were Dubois I would be very skeptical about being treated fairly vs AJ given the fact Turkie has laid out future plans for AJ v Fury. Has the fix already been factored in by Turkie? Is DDD only chance of winning is by KO? Will the referee give AJ a lifeline if he’s in trouble as was the case by the referee in Fury v Usyk? With all this Turkie talk, I have to believe the fix is in. Can someone get Turkie to STFU and stay in the present instead of him talking about his fantasy boxing league or future fights that seem contrived?

They should let them get through their next fights. I mean both Fury and AJ could lose or they could both win.


Has anyone even seen tyson lately? did he blow back up in weight? last time he had two training camps in a row and came in light. I am worried that is the best he could possibly be at his age, and next time he will come in fat

96K for AJ vs Dubois at Wemberly and you think no one will care about Aj vs Fury ... hmm ok .. I think a lot of people care there isn't a stadium big enough. The hardcore might care more about another fight maybe (struggling to name one) but they are the minority.

Main appeal of the fight was an undisputed heavyweight champion coming out of it. Usyk took care of that already.

No one cares anymore.

eddie has to squeeze his butt cheeks closed while thinking about fury upsetting usyk taking the belts and then making a massive foit with his darling AJ, now then it would be a very big foit, but if usyk wins again its basically a battle of the losers

The Saudi Arabian regardless has wider plans for boxing, which include attempting to reduce the cost of pay-per-views to viewers to less than £20 in the UK and less than $20 in the US, and also, ambitiously, to introduce a boxing league to challenge the “crazy” number of world titles in existence.

Ok ignoring the Saudi regime for a second. This is what everyone has been begging for in boxing. The American mind can barely comprehend a $20 blockbuster PPV.

And a single league where good fights happen and there’s one consensus best? I never thought this would happen in my lifetime.

Will the referee give AJ a lifeline if he’s in trouble as was the case by the referee in Fury v Usyk?

Yes, it's a tradition in boxing. Joshua is always being given either a lifeline and/or some kind of help every time he steps into the ring. Quite often by the matchmaking itself.

[champion4ever]

Yes, have at it. Since we never got Joshua vs Wilder. It’s a good consolation prize for us boxing fans. Even though it has lost a lot of its appeal.

Fury vs Joshua is still one those fantasy match ups that boxing fans could ever dream of watching. So what if it’s not for undisputed or undefeated

It’s still a very intriguing fight.

[M312]

I don't want Usyk to lose to Fury... Just happy to be watching such a legend.
...BUT a Fury/AJ fight for undisputed would be HUGE.
Not sure what the best scenario for boxing would be lol

[champion4ever]

It’s in that Mayweather-Pacquiao category now for me. I’d obviously still watch it but it’s so far from what it could’ve once been. I suspect it’ll be a massive occasion with a disappointing outcome.

You hit the hammer right on the nail. I was thinking the exact same thing. Good post!
