    It’ll be a shame when he retires. A great way to win money has been backing Usyk against Brits.

    Well, Fury reckons it’s agreed for the trilogy in April but seen nothing from the Usyk side to confirm it. And as big a Fury fan as I am, even I’m not interested in seeing that. Because if Tyson did win, he’s still 2-1 down.

    Fury v AJ fair enough. Couple of fights before calling it a day. Three if it’s 1-1.

    I have no idea who Usyk could fight now.

    Based on his interview there, his reference to resting, and naming Fury first, maybe that is the swan song in April at Wembley.

    I imagine Tyson is on a PED cycle in retirement, and they’ll have to be strong drugs. Because my man or not, I still don’t see him beating him.

    Mate just text me saying it’s AJ v that YouTube kid. Paul is it? Surely f****g not?

    If anyone deserves a shot it's joe parker. He's beat the rest comfortably.

    He does. I agree. Mandatory for the WBO too. I like Joe.

    The problem with the Parker fight is it doesn’t generate huge money.

    He likes fighting the Brits for the PPV money.

    Bellew
    Chisora
    Joshua x 2
    Fury x 2
    Dubois x 2

    Also beat Joe Joyce in the World Series of boxing over 5 rounds.

    He loves facing the Brits.

    This.

    It’s why I think we get the Fury trilogy. And whilst it’s not what most want to see (me included), the build up, the story, the nonsense and the cash makes it the most intriguing fight. Plus, whilst 2-0 up, he admits Fury was his hardest opponent.

    We’ll see.

    Feels like we are waiting for a new generation to come through. Maybe Itauma is the future, but I think Usyk will have bowed out before he’s ready.

    Parker was about to fight dubois in Saudi on a big main event cause it would generate money. Parkers the only one who deserves a shot the rest have had there chance. I don't think he wind but he deserves a go unless usyk retires.

    It should be Joe. I like Joe but Usyk would beat him comfortably. Although I think he'd beat anyone comfortably, he's as good as I've ever seen. People think he's small because he's up against giants these days (and slays them), but he's as big as Ali and Foreman, way bigger than Tyson.

    Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying the Parker fight doesn’t make him a fortune but it doesn’t make him anything like the Dubois rematch & the fights with Joshua & Fury. If he can fight a Brit again he will.

    New Zealand’s a tiny country in terms of population & isn’t a boxing country.

    I agree with you. He's the best heavy weight of my lifetime.

    Itauma looks the real deal. He will become huge in this country when he flattens a past it Dillian Whyte next month

    Rumours are it's true about AJ v Paul, apparently Paul offered to let AJ take most of the purse to get it on.

    Fury would embarrass AJ. He'd toy with him in the ring and drag it out to complete the humiliation.

    Aj fury would generate more money than fury v usyk for a 3rd time. Fury may have done the best but was comfortably beaten twice.

    If that was the case he would have fought him ages ago.
