It looks like AJ is going to duck Fury

[GhostofDempsey]

AJ knows he can earn his usual $15 - $20M fighting anyone. He can fight a couple of safer opponents and cash in before risking it all to Fury. Hopefully it won't take longer than a year to make this fight.

Fury went from Hearn to Shelly and this thread is about how likely Joshua is to duck again.

The first Wilder fight was meant to be Joshua's fight. Wilder went to Hearn, Fury went to Hearn, couldn't make an agreement, then Fury went to Finkel and had one done with Wilder pretty easily.

Fury then played ESPN to renegotiate his deal with Wilder and again found terms they could agree on.

Fury's now without a proper opponent, trying to get a Joshua fight, while his fans preemptively consider the chances of Joshua ducking him again.

Chances are pretty good Joshua pisses Fury off more than Wilder had, again, and finds himself a more favorable deal with Wilder again. Wilder hasn't walked away and all Fury has to do is say okay. Deontay's in a corner now.

I too would rather undisputed but that requires Joshua to grow a pair, he hasn't yet. Been like 4 years now. Joshua was pick of the litter, Joshua had all the boys coming to him. Joshua is why Wilder called on Fury. Joshua is why Fury called on Wilder. Joshua is why Joshua failed to get either out of their fight with one another twice. Was already there, tried to get back in there, now has a clear lane to be in there and is talking like it's a maybe....

Joshua could grow a pair and put on the first ever all UK HW title fight for undisputed, but, hasn't happened yet.

Wilder's not been in the position to do anything like Joshua. He already is, always was, and looks like will be again the alternative to Joshua's candy ass, not the man everyone wants to fight but no one can get in the ring with him.

You are too biased for me to bother even trying to have a real convo with you about this. Enjoy Bum Squad vs King Plod 3.

Anthony Joshua willing to ‘bet all my money’ he will fight Oleksandr Usyk next as he’s unsure of Tyson Fury’s plans - https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/13380...fury-boxing-2/

Does this sound like a man who really wants to fight Tyson Fury?

Joshua and Hearn will do what they usually do, give a lowball offer knowing it will get turned down, and then claim that Fury is ducking them.

Lol. Joshua DEFINITELY wants to unify and has zero record of ducking, always fights the best.

Fury is not saying anything other than how amazing he is - I am very su****ious of this guy and his old man. Liars.

Nothing I said is untrue though. Even if Wilder is the cause, even if he's mimicking himself. He's still the Joshua alternative not the man everyone wants to see.

No bull, I don't see what I said that's so contentious or even favorable to Wilder. I kind of just responded with "Yeah but he's second fiddle though"

- -U boytoy been ducking Wlad and AJ from the gitgo.

They with a blizzard of defenses. U boytoy with zer0 defenses. Chop both hands off so U kin count to zer0!!!

[EnglishOxide]

Yup! You think AJ gonna ask for another enormous ring like he did with Ruiz?? That was dirty. Dude had to change the rules to gain an advantage. Then RAN!!!!

He ain't gonna be able to RUN from Fury.

It will be Fury asking for the big ring.

AJ plans on lighting Fury up like Steve Cunningham did, I assure you.

That's true, Fury should get more **** for doping to fight Hammer, who sucks. Ducking Wlad, and using slaps.

But him were sad doe QueenB. Don't you understand depression is why he ducked Wlad. Not being scared as **** Wlad's going to come after him without worrying about Tyson tiring because Wlad now knows Tyson's a drug cheat who isn't likely to tire despite the fat build.

For the credibility of the sport they have to fight each other in their primes. We had enough of this with Pacquiao v Mayweather. Some sources claim Fury is seeing how Joshua gets on against Pulev. If he looses then he fights Wilder which makes business sense. If he wins the fight is on which I sincerely hope.

I agree, a big ring favours Tyson

To be fair to Joshua, he is a dangerous puncher and is more skilled than Wilder, so Fury would be foolish if go to war straight away.

Fury is longer and has the better footwork, he should box AJ at range, utilise his long jab, feint and make things awkward, then tie up if AJ closes the distance.

Eventually AJ will get tired like he always does, then Fury starts applying the pressure and upping the workrate.

I see Fury stopping an exhausted Joshua between rounds 9-11.

I think Fury may edge it in the mental department as well. His comeback from that Wilder knockdown when he was only 50% still ranks as the best bit of sporting action I have seen. Very inspirational.
