    AJ probably has 3 fights left before Fury retires him, whereas I could see Tyson going unbeaten for another ten years.
    fury earned a fortune facing seferi , pianeta and walling , all 3 rank up with the most dangerous challengers in heavyweight history and fury managed to get 3 new shire horses and a 6 bed caravan with internet dongle supplied.
    Fury will probably go on a mental health summer holiday and feast on wild boar if the WBC make him defend against Whyte before Joshua lol
    Joshua earnt more in 1 fight (65 million ) than what fury has in 4 fights.
    Forget Monopoly money Forbes list it’s wrong

      You know what mate, you're no doubt right. It just amuses me to see how triggered some AJ fans get when you mention that Forbes article.

      Anyway, all the money in the world won't help AJ when he gets in the ring against the Gypsy King, but it will pay for his hospital bill.

          If so I would be willing to pay that.
          I doubt it's going to be for 2 fights.

          Both parties would do everything they can to maximise earnings and the fight has potentials to become the highest grossing fight of all time.

          I heard a country in the middle east is bidding to pay between $300-400million to host it. And it's going to be on PPV in the US and a lot of other countries as well.

            That said, Fury is definitely better at long-range, and also probably at close-range where he will be leaning all over AJ

            So if AJ can make it that kind of fight, at mid-range, I give AJ a much better chance of winning
            That would be the smartest thing for him to do and perfect throughout training camp. Fury has the reach, height and backfoot fluidity advantage. So Josh would've to master how to cut off the ring and keep it at mid-range where his hooks are going to be effective.

            I don't think Fury wants a close-range fight with Josh due to his uppercut. He got away with it against Wilder because Wilder doesn't throw uppercuts and Fury was open all night for one. Josh would nail him and take his head off.

              Yeah spot on I reckon

              I still give the edge to Fury at close-range because of his size advantage, Fury will have maybe 2 stone extra I think? That uppercut got Klitschko tho, you're right Fury needs to be careful of that. Wilder is a one-trick pony, zero inside game, of course

              Re: PPV price, it's one of those fights that deserves a heftier price tag, I think most of the people who would've bought it at £25 will also buy it at double that

                Yes, I think Fury will most likely come in between 270-285. But I don't see Josh coming in at more than 245 unless he wants to gas out quickly. So Fury should have the size advantage.

                **** on, mate. £50 for the first undisputed HW bout in 2 decades and the biggest fight in British history is a decent bargain compared to what yanks pay for rubbish fights. And the average Brit has more disposable income than the average yank. The only caveat is that the undercard has to be packed with great fights. And if there's anything you can bank on Hearn for - it's his ability make decent fights.
