Should AJ take Step Aside money to allow Fury v Usyk?

Sounds good to me, providing he gets a cast iron guarantee against the winner.

One fight, one win and he's the king again.

This time undisputed.

If not, then Fury must defend against Whyte.

Either way, the fans win.

I dont know if you can make a cast iron garrentee. It sounds like you cant, but its so difficult, you can stop people fighting someone else, but stopping someone from retiring is difficult. All they have to do is find one dr, that can find one injury, that can retire them...

Only way im doing this is if in the contract the step aside gets paid up front, and Furys purse for the usyk fight sits in escro and gets transfered to him as part of his purse when he fights me (aJ). and if after a year the fight hasnt happened i (AJ) get it.

That way if fury wins and ditches sure you lose out on legacy, but you get very paid for sitting on the couch. Wouldent be worried if Usyk wins, but Fury is too unpredictable for me be trusting an "Ironclad" contract to get him back in the ring..

I'd see Fury-Usyk, as it's the best fight possible today, while Usyk-Joshua II brings no intrigue right now, cause Joshua won't improve for the Usyk caliber that fast, so I'm for Joshua stepping aside.

No way.
At least the Joshua Uysk fight will actually happen.
If you try and get Fury into the mix, that will be all the belts tied up with a small chance any deal can be made. The guy is an excellent boxer, but an utter time waster when it comes to getting in the ring.
Wait and see how badly the d*ck around with Whyte will be.
Fury was barely in shape for the 3rd Wilder fight. Imagine what he will be like by January.

Unsurprisingly the WBC ordered Fury vs Whyte the moment it seemed like Joshua was willing to possibly step aside to allow the Usyk fight to happen. So we are not going to see the undisputed title fight just yet.

Should Fury beat Usyk or AJ to unify the belts, he will not fight again. No rematches, no mandatories and no money fights. So AJ should not risk his opportunity if he wants to fight Fury or fight for the undisputed belts.

AJ can’t afford to step aside without receiving an offer so obscenely generous that his fans and critics would claim he’d be a fool to turn it down.

So he’d need a written guarantee to face the victor of Fury-Usyk, coupled with at least a £20m gift!

But that isn’t going to happen, which means Fury will be forced to face Whyte during March.

AJ shouldn’t even consider step aside money. He lost 116-113 on my card. He can definitely win the rematch, but not if he fiddle fornicates around early like he did.

Joshua needs to go out and hurt Usyk early with body work and stiff jabs and right hands. Go hard early and face the consequences one way or the other. He cannot stand in front of Usyk and box. He has to bull in behind a solid HW jab and pound away. Build an early lead that Usyk can’t recover from, if he survives it at all.

Yes, Usyk won the fight, but the second fight is not close to a foregone conclusion.

If AJ wants to prove us haters right once and for all then yes.

gregregegg · Post by **gregregegg** » 08 Dec 2021, 02:45

People saying AJ has no chance. Just like many were saying Yarde had no chance. Like in the yarde fight, If AJ lets his hands Go anything could happen...

Depends when Fury and Joshua fight next.
If they're both off until May, June or July then wave step aside money and take the fight.
Fury v Joshua sells easy around that time.

Since the WBC ordered Whyte, there's no other choice for Jushua other than to exercise the rematch clause. Well, if threre're bouts of Fury-Whyte and Usyk-Joshua II with the unification afterwards, it's still good.

Yes, this looks to be the situation.
Aj or usyk will be free and willing to face fury.
And whyte has precious little chance against fury, but should make for good entertainment.
