    It can't be a nobody though. Got to be slightly credible.
    Agreed.

    No issues with Fury fighting a Kayabal as long as he fights Joshua next.

      Deontay Wilder isn't an uber driver pal.

        oh wow I completely forgot about Wilder, silly me!......

        other than little miss Wilder, what were his other fights since making his comeback? I'm a Fury fan, but I want to see him face live bodies from time to time. At least AJ fights contenders. boooooooooring!

          If we're constantly ****ting on AJ for usually fighting decent opposition then it should be the same way when Fury fights bum of the month again. This time, I get it, it's more last minute as the Wilder fight fell through so he gets a pass but we shouldn't really be giving Fury passes for things we criticize other fighters for.

              Fury is fighting the unified champion the fight after next, and has recently KO'd the same man who Joshua wanted nothing to do with.

              I'm assuming AJ qualifies as a live body?

                Someone like Kabayel or Takam would be okay for someone coming off of a long layoff or a defeat , but for the lineal and ring magazine champ it doesn't really cut it. He should at least fight someone coming off a good win and is tall and in-shape enough for casual fans to take seriously.

                  As long as they keep their promise I don't see the issue.

                    Who is available that fits that criteria?

                      Let's hope that fight actually gets made, and yes AJ counts as a live body (the best fight to be made) - so do at least ten other fighters. Hunter, Ruiz, Parker, etc are all at that level and many more. I know lot's of them are tied up (Povetkin/Whyte, Usyk/Chisora etc.) but I'd like to see actual fights, I have no interest in seeing him blast a Tom Schwarz out of the ring in 4 minutes.

                      Read above reply. I'm a boxing fan first and foremost, I don't care whether I'm a fan of the fighter or not I like to see good fights. If that fights actually gets made then credit to both Fury and AJ for giving us the best fight at HW.
