I've already said he won't fight this year..No fight has been announced plus he likes a 4 month camp, Hearn said Jake Paul will be his comeback fight in Feb or March, Pointless AJ waiting it out for Fury the fight won't happen..It'll be 18 months of inactivity give or take, I'm an AJ fan but he must have had some hell of injuries to be out this long..Too many young hungry fighters waiting to take scalps like AJ's
AJ isn't getting any younger.
What has happened to feminism?
AJ vs Fury is the only fight that makes sense for both of them at this point. It's way past its sell-by date but it'd still be very lucrative and they'd probably milk a rematch out of it. Nobody wants to see a third Fury-Usyk fight, nor does he deserve it.
waiting for a payday basically
Should be Dubois next
I think we need to just make the Joshua vs wilder fight with a UK vs USA card. Ruiz jr vs Dubois, jarell miller vs Fabio Wardley, Michael Hunter vs Moses ituama, Richard Torrez jr. Vs Lawrence okalie, Jared Anderson vs Joe Joyce, Frazier Clarke vs Stephan Shaw or Jermaine Franklin at Wembley arena you're guaranteed 90,000 British supporter swinging and singing sweet Caroline the best supporters in the land when it comes to boxing😂🇬🇧😂
If eddie hearn is warning us it will be carefully selected top 15 im bracing myself for the worst. Whatever he says you can usually expect it one tier worse.
Best thing Fury can do imo is fight AJ. If he wins his resume drastically improves along with his chances of securing an usyk trilogy
AJ v Ruiz 3?
COMMON SENSE and FURY don't go together
FURY and AJ are waiting for UYSK to vacate a belt
My first reaction is to wonder if this is to wait until Fury has dealt with his Netflix commitments and will be free early next year for a fight with AJ, and he doesn't want to risk losing before Fury…
Fury did say at the IPA conference in Turkey a couple months ago that if he couldn't get Usyk next then he would definitely be up for the AJ fight
I'm hopeful that we will get AJ v Fury at some point next year…
injured seriously injured
Ffs! What’s the point?! Inactivity and fury is just trolling now! He will never fight Joshua! He’d rather have Eddie and aj double team his mrs than give either of them a payday!
Eddie told us they’d agreed the fight after “that” microphone moment for BLM years ago!!
Fury is fucking with them and getting the limelight. Wake up Eddie!
AJ getting married, boxers are humans that also have lives. Let the man be….
AJ screwed the pooch thinking “little brother” Dubois was an easy touch! He couldn’t have had a worse game plan. Said “pray for me” before the actual fight!
I’d love to see aj 3.0 but sadly I don’t think it’s gonna happen!
If his shoulder has gone, he’s toast! Surgery or no surgery!
He had many many mental demons and now he was to worry if his shoulder will give out or not! 🙈
May as well fight Dillian for a cash out fight for the casuals and we can send them both off with thanks. Gutted this era of heavyweights (Parker aside) is coming to an end!
Tf is Jalilov doing and how is he ranked
AJ has had a great run, but it’s now time to retire.
@gman. bro you gotta look at your mic settings bro. sounds like a different mic is active not the one in front of your mouth.
Boxing aint the same without Aj
AJ beat Zhang already
Aj is broken unfortunately.
told you many times? when you gona listen? he only wants fury 1 and rematch? he wont risk upto 150 million quid by fighting dubois again he just wants the easy money from an ageing fury? tyson will fight him but not yet ? Once everyone stops talking about tyson fury thats when it will happen ???
Anthony Joshua being inactive now in his better physical years will kill his potential last career time. Why not line-up some journymen opponents to keep-buissy combind with rebuilding.
AJ is seemingly ever since he lost to Oleksandr Usyk taking long time to return to the ring, and again – he is only taking off valuable career time that he will never regain.
Joshua can EASY get good fights out there with merit worth, but he is "Nah, I only fight in a big arena with special effects and with a big pay".
Can't sit around and wait for big cry babies like Tyson Fury or Deontay Wilder, he have to bring it himself by WINNING fights !!!!
AJ has become irrelevant in boxing right now- nobody cares.
Who cares
Probably don’t need you to read an article for over 33% of the run time all due respect my brother
I think it is time to forget both Fury and AJ
I will remeber Fury as the guy who was scared to fight AJ and a prime David Price.
I will remeber AJ as a guy who took way too much time in between fight. Someone forgot to tell him the pandemic was over.
Fury does not want to get koed and will never fight AJ
AJ just wants a big money fight with Fury.
Time to focus in the rising stars
Don’t care one bit.
Could he fight hughie fury to try bring tyson outta "retirement"?
Jake Paul royally did him over. Dubois damaged him.
One thing we know is that inactivity is risky especially in mid 30s. By the time he fights Dubois, he's 37. Ain't gonna happen. AJ won't risk a potential beating as his swan song.
Fury AJ has been effectively waived off as well.
Disappointing. He should've rematched Dubois
He never learnt that inactivity pretty much has killed his career. My biggest problem with Joshua is activity levels since these guys get paid so well. The incentive to fight more than once a year is not there.Wven if he took some smaller tick over fights it woukd be better than this..
