Lol, WBC don't give a f@ck about dill pickle, if Josh and Fury want to do it and have agreed, it will happen

Davison: "Fury is More Versatile, Much Quicker - He Beats Joshua"

“Before I looked at Joshua’s style as sort of an old cowboy gunslinger – whoever lands first, because he is a big man, who lets big shots go, but he is there to be hit back and is very predictable with his punch patterns," Davison told British Boxers TV.

“That was risky and what led to him getting hit by Ruiz, but in his rematch, he showed the ability to change things up, the adaptability impressed me because he is able to be more mobile if he needs to be.

“That’s one of the key things for Tyson too, he is so versatile if you make an adaption he can make one too and that’s how I see the first few rounds going, both guys will come out and take a look at each other and one could make adaption while the other could make an adaption. But, I just feel like Tyson will be able change things up more, he is more versatile and much quicker and that will be the reason why he wins the fight.”

I'd honestly still rather see Josh/wilder, don't get me wrong, fury has clearly proved to be better than wilder but this fight will blow. Only chance it doesn't is a blitzkrieg ko by aj and Tyson is too big, skilled, smart and reluctant for that to be likely.

Tyson has the boxing brain. McDermott was in his ninth fight. He gave him the immediate rematch and stopped him....
I genuinely believe Hearn is scared of another loss for AJ. Brilliant salesman, Eddie, but he knows it’s disastrous for his business when Tyson beats him.
The guy (AJ) couldn’t even put it on Ruiz in the rematch. Does anybody really think he’ll beat Tyson on the back foot?

I'm not sure one way or the other, I've underestimated fury several times.

They'll probably do it as a cash out retirement fight in about 18 months

Think this had actually gotten worse than Floyd Pacquiao. And that was bad.

Nah that went on more than five years!

This one feels like 5 years already. When did people start calling for this one?

To be fair it's been a long year From the Wilder draw at earliest I'd say, Dec 2018

Suppose you’re right. I remember people talking about it happening down the line somewhere as soon as Fury announced his comeback. But the speculation and that has just done my head in now

Actually reading back AJ did call out Fury after his win over Klitschko in April 2017, although by that point it was becoming obvious Fury was not in any condition to fight

Well, after the Wilder draw, it wasn't clear, what's up next. The rematch or Wilder-Joshua, or Fury-Joshua. After Fury KOed Wilder, it became clear, what remains. However, this rematch clause delays it. Anyway, in the process of the lockdown there were some news about Fury and Joshua agreeing on terms for their potential matchup (look the opening post of this
thread). As if nothing puts it away or delays it, after Fury and Joshua deal with the current contract obligations with other fighters (Pulev, Wilder, Usyk, Whyte-Povetkin winner). So, probably it's fair to start to count the length of Fury-Joshua buildup since the mid 2020.

The perfect scenario goes this way:

- Late 2020 - Fury beats Wilder, Joshua beats Pulev, Usyk beats Chisora, Whyte-Povetkin 2 (it's harder to pick a fovorite here)

- The first half of 2021 - Fury vs Whyte-Povetkin 2 winner, Joshua vs Usyk.

- Late 2021 - the fight to determine an undisputed champion, to crown an inarguably best mofo.

However, Fury and Joshua can drop in trash cans WBC (where Whyte-Povetkin winner gonna be a mandatory) and WBO (which tracks Usyk to the contender's status) and fight each other in the first half of 2021.

Agreed on Hearn scared of AJ losing again, he’ll do anything to keep AJ and Fury apart. Probably the reason he signed Usyk too, to keep him away from AJ. He’s desperately trying to get Whyte back in the mandatory position in time for Feb 21 so it’s another hurdle in the way. No way would he be pushing for a rematch less than 3 months after a one punch knockout in any normal circumstance.

It’s not an immediate mandatory, though, if Whyte wins. That ship has sailed.
Love it how people are saying Eddie will do this, that and the other when he’s up against MTK, Arum and FW. It’s not his call.

Fury and AJ will spend the rest of their careers calling each other out; generating publicity off each other as they go. The promoters will do the same. My guess, the fight never happens.
