Comments Thread For: Joshua Will Look To Get Exception From WBO To Face Fury in 2021

No. Want unification. Only pointing out Hearn like all promoters is a self serving windbag with a different virtue every 5 minutes

I highly doubt AJ and Fury are going to lose in their interim fights in 2020 even though AJ will take a riskier fight in Pulev. Unlikely that Usyk is going to lose to Chisora either, which gives Usyk an opportunity to get from Hearn a chunky step-aside fee and a lucrative fight. The question is, though, if a rematch clause would push Usyk out into 2022 to fight the winner of AJ vs Fury. If it does, I doubt he'll agree to it, but if it doesn't, especially if he feels he needs more time to acclimatize in HW, this may be a blessing for him as it will increase his chances of beating AJ or Fury, which, I must say, is a hell of a task.

Excessive "talking" about the big fight, while locked into another fight is never a good sign.

Will be a repeat of Wilder negotiations by Eddie and AJ.

Great point. Seriously though huh

Eddie Hearn must have realised that Oleksandr Usyk will be 34 in January and doesn't have much time on his side or he already been warned by Team Usyk. Meanwhile, Usyks team knows that Usyk is a skilled boxer and they already will have 2 tune up heavyweight fights before the title challenge. They won't let go easily. Interesting months ahead.

We all want the undesputed fight. Period.

Hearn & Aj have already ducked undesputed with they're demanding instead of negotiating with Wilder in 18, Aj said himself in an inrerview on sky "I won't be rushed into the Wilder fight" he then said"19 20 21"Hearn then said 2020. Cough💨marrinating whilst milking the belts fighting old men & top 15s
I think Aj is mentally weak & Hearn was also blocking the undesputed fight with Whyte for both Wilder then Fury.

I just hope Aj & Eddie are ready because I wouldn't put it past them to fight Usyk after Pulev which tbh is a fight i still want to see but not the fight the world wants.

Josh, just drop the wbo and ibo baubles....their jive time anyway

[_Rexy_]

Wow, you really wouldn't think that Usyk was ALSO Hearns fighter.

[Ake-Dawg]

Both sides saying what they have to. For Usyk, it comes down to whether or not he feels he can beat Fury to become a heavyweight champion. If not, force the mando and get your belt because otherwise if Fury gets the WBO back, Usyk may have to hope Fury melts down or retires to get it.

[PRINCEKOOL]

Not going to happen, if Usyk wins his next fight.

[DaNeutral.]

Lol do I smell hints of morons claiming AJ is ducking Usyk? By wanting to face Fury? The same Fury everybody was saying is the number 1 in the division?

God bless idiots.
