What happens to Joe Joyce..lol

Joyce will be the next mandatory. I bet Joe could beat Wilder and maybe Whyte if given the chance.

Of course you would bet that, so will the rest of the country because they are f'in useless.

I think Joe Joyce would have beaten Bugner.

I would respectfully remind that Joe Bugner never got knocked out. Meanwhile losers Deontay Wilder and Dillydally white are 'reasonably' put out as top contenders,
Joe went 27 rounds with Ali and 12 with Frazier. We are now Ross-less, but I can say that Fury is the main man, and everyone below is fair to middling, and you underrate Usyck at your peril. Try a double at the bookies, Wilder draw or points (fix being truly in) with a Usyck win. Fury will emerge as the true 'peoples champion'

If Andy wasn't too fat to win against AJ, then Usyk isn't too small to get a win over AJ!


On paper, this is all AJ.
In the ring, it's the one who with the spirit of a warrior that gets their hands raised. IMO this is a tossup in that we just dont know what Usyk can handle as well as we don't know if AJ is forced to put in a high workrate, can he maintain it for 12 rounds?


I admit, I didn't see this one coming. AJ vs Fury somehow in the last week turned into Aj vs Usyk & Fury vs Wilder...all in the same week?

It is a crazy turn of events but the way they have made these matches so quickly gives me the impression they want to get these fights out of the way to get back to AJ v Fury.

Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk update: Extension granted for negotiations as Usyk’s promoter reveals they are ‘working hard’ to finalise deal

Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk are seemingly moving closer to finalising a deal to fight next.

The Ukrainian’s promoter Alex Krassyuk has told talkSPORT that the WBO have now granted an extension to the negotiations period for their mandatory bout.

The WBO initially agreed to sanction AJ for an undisputed clash with Tyson Fury, but this was scuppered by Deontay Wilder’s arbitration victory.

Now Fury must face Wilder instead and so the WBO have reacted by ordering AJ vs Usyk – the overdue mandatory.

Krassyuk explained to White and Jordan on talkSPORT: “We want Usyk to fight AJ, we are working hard on that.

“The WBO gave additional time for negotiations until Friday for us to finalise the deal.

“So we are in touch with Eddie, we are working hard on the details and hopefully we will end up with a deal by Friday.”

This is standard procedure for many ordered fights.

If the promoters are making progress but will struggle to meet the initial deadline, they can request an extension to finalise their agreement.

Should a deal not be finalised, Joshua will have the option to go to an open market purse bids situation or vacate his title.

This appears unlikely for Joshua vs Usyk with both parties working towards a deal.

Regarding a potential venue for the bout, Krassyuk added: “For us it’s not the main issue yet.

“First of all we need to settle the conditions inside the fight and the location will be defined afterwards…

“He [Usyk] is great, he is confident, he wants to fight.”
