Fury did a total demolition job. Fury can take his time to consider his options. Joshua has nowhere to go. Apart from the fact that he holds all the belts bar one. Sooner or later Fury will have to face him if he wants to be a unified champion. A few years ago maybe he would have avoided AJ but I assume he must be confident of beating him now if not why not.
One more point |

Let’s just hope we don’t have another world champion who drags it out again as world champion and bringing in the cash although a fury v AJ fight must be worth big money now. I also agree on not much point on a third fight now and a third loss would finish wilder’s career. Edited by Rudi Hedman (23 Feb 2020 9.28am)

Couldn’t have gone any better, and I don’t mean just the fight. A couple of beers during motd, sleep, turned my phone alarm off at 4.30. Somehow woke up at 5.15am and watched the whole of crystal clear boxing on my phone relaxed in bed. Was meant to be? I wasn’t going to show my &rse out of bed to watch boxing across the water that early bish. Luckily fell asleep again not that long after and woke up at 9am. Perfect.

Sounds like fury v AJ might not be in England. Could be the Middle East or the states due to fury’s ESPN contract. Typical.

From what I heard on the radio,sounded as if Fury beat up Wilder the whole fight. Well done gypsy king,Bob Arum,Fury's US promoter said last week if Tyson wins then Fury v Joshua could happen this year

Former Gold medallist and current two time world champion having easily just defeated the only fighter to have ever beaten him. What he does not have is the aura of invincibility he had before his defeat. What AJ does however still have in abundance is box office appeal. AJ has earned 10 times more than what Wilder and Fury have combined. Imagine that! The great thing about Fury/Wilder/AJ is that I believe they are all willing to face each other (in their primes) which has not always been the case. Hell of a performance last night. Credit to Fury and credit to Wilder for not quitting. Last night showed some interesting aspects regarding the psychology of boxing, when the bully gets bullied.

It’s the old saying. To become a great fighter you need to face great opponents. All these top fighters need each other.

No Joshua hasn’t, who are you mixing him up with ? David Haye, who pulled out of 2 fights due to injury. How many 20 stone travellers have you fought when you was injured.? Would you? Who would you fight next then if you was Fury? If not Joshua then who?

When the purse for that fight is so huge I doubt either want to avoid it forever or until it doesn’t have the same pull or slip up elsewhere. Not sure who I’d prefer to win. Probably won’t mind. AJ will have most of the black support or ‘people of colour’ support (God I hate that term) but this is a personality individual sport so who knows on Fury. Some of his bizarre opinions have been forgotten and now his bravery or remarkable 8 second or years out comebacks are what stands out. Most are hopefully just glad some decent matchups are happening rather than rip-off contests I wouldn’t pay for or show my arse out of bed for across the water that early. I have my limits.
