I think he might fight Joshua this year but 100% don't think he fancies boxing Uysk. It's screaming silence from his side and, surely they would need a certain amount of time to promote the fight and sell tickets etc.
Everyone on both sides have given several positive interviews for weeks?

Sounds more and more likely that it won't happen:

I did say at the start the time constraints may be a problem. Rushing for Ramadan is not important to a practising catholic. I will be delighted if it does end up at Wembley. I’m still pretty sure they’ll fight.

Fury will fight Usyk and win by controversial decision.
Okolie will have a disaster on heavyweight debut
Interesting - Why do you think Okolie will have a disaster? (For upsetting Eddie Hearn?

:o )
His advantage over cruisers is being able to maul in close and box at range , I don't see these being able to out strength a decent heavy, plus even though he's a champion at cruiser I'm not convinced on his chin , at the higher weight there will be bigger punchers and I think he'll get found out quickly

Yup makes sense. He’s an enormous cruiser weight to be sure

Al Cole was similar. A decent cruiserweight champion but lost all his advantages at heavyweight.

New to boxing are you.
Okay...
