Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua in talks for two-fight deal, Jared Anderson and Dillian Whyte 'discussed'

I wouldn't have much confidence in him either at this point. They're going to try to keep him safe until he can make the money versus Fury if the Big Dosser decides to come back.

He's been beaten by Dubois (badly) and Usyk (twice comprehensively) - there's no point in re-matching Dubois again after a 3rd round KO - if that fight got made there'd be loads of posters on here chirping away that they want to see fresh match-ups not the same old fighters rotated around and around. Anderson got slaughtered by Bakole and Joshua by Dubois - that's a good do-or-die match-up - the winner puts themselves into the conversation for a title shot (although Joshua will always be there as the cash-cow) and the loser can either go back to scratch or retire.

According to Spencer and Tunde a couple of weeks back this was suppose to a three fight deal with these exact fights culminating with Fury.

For some reason it's changed or the car salesman isn't willing to discuss Fury...

How could Fury be part of the deal if he's retired and hasn't put his name to it?
And why would Fury sign to fight Joshua after 2 fights that he might lose? (esp. the Anderson fight)

Because Fury is a coward and willing to sit on the sidelines whilst AJ takes more damage, AJ will likely win both fights but take a fair bit of stick in them.

P.S. Truthfully probably juice in the meantime because he won't be tested whilst "retired".

Eddy the milk man. He's going to milk AJ until his boobs get sore.

It's gonna be Whyte and then the winner of Usyk/Dubois. The Saudis LOVE AJ. Regardless of how good/bad/shot he is, he puts butts in seats.

Fury, Wilder, and Dubois rematch. That's the only interesting fights left for AJ.

AJ and Hearn are just playing mind games to move Fury`s fat ass.

Joshua is so shot, that he probably loses to Jared at this point.

Fury will play back. he will post some instagram photo how is he in training process and that he fights Charr in the summer.

Than he will say he was just joking.

Trot on over to bn24 where you belong.
Ajs the money first coward (as you put it) who blocked fighting Wilder & Fury with money & contracts.

Anderson & Whyte... 2 heavyweights less active than he is. Ajs a joke rn if he doesnt fight Parker or Kabayel.

0 and 3 for those. Joshua would surely "roll the dice" for Fury, and of those 3 that's his best chance to not get splattered. But against even the ancient Wilder and younger Dubois, Joshua would surely freeze up and get caught.
