2737217, Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury official | August 14th Saudi Arabia
Posted by Boogie Stimuli, Sun May-16-21 04:25 PM
According to Tyson Fury who says he just got off the phone with Prince Khalid.

First time 2 Brits will be fighting for the Undisputed Heavyweight Title.

Who yall got?

I've always said Joshua has nothing for Fury. The Ruiz loss may have woken Joshua up tho. He made some important changes after that. He dropped some unnecessary muscle and learned to use the ring a bit. He's one of those guys who believes in continuously learning and improving. However, so does Tyson Fury, and I think Fury is the much superior boxer. He's not without his weaknesses though. He has trouble with smaller, quicker fighters. Joshua isn't very small or quick though.
I got Fury by stoppage.
If Joshua is able to pull it off, I'll either be EXTREMELY impressed by his improvement over the years or disappointed in Fury lol.

Fury vs Joshua now in jeopardy.

For no fucking reason. Second fight showed us all we needed to know.
2737610, Hope they get a decent undercard this time

Last buy was a waste of money
2737614, Yeah, after the first 2 fights, i'm not sure what a 3rd has to offer

maybe Wilder's new trainer/team will add a new wrinkle or two that makes things more interesting, and there's always the possibility that Wilder lands a bomb. That being said, Fury showed he was the better boxer in the first 2 fights, and if he can stay away from the death touch, it feels like it will be more of the same.


2737615, maybe Wilder will catch a bomb again. otherwise...

2737686, Still an intriguing fight to me

And I give props to Wilder for invoking the clause to step up and take the challenge again. Let's not forget that Wilder was the champ who gave Fury a chance - and this third fight was built into their contract so it's something Fury had to honor (albeit via arbitration).

First fight was a classic; second fight was a dominant Fury performance. I think most are thinking the third fight will mirror the second - but there's enough intrigue for me to want to watch to see how the trilogy plays out.

Either way - Joshua v. either Fury or Wilder will be entertaining and a legitimate Super HW Unification bout that we haven't seen in too long.

I also think the case can easily be made that Wilder v. Joshua would be a much more intriguing fight.

He probably could’ve ultimately gotten paid more if he were willing to do some type of agreement to take a 7 figure amount to step aside and fight the winner while he fought a tune up. This, plus his unwillingness to admit his own fault in how he lost along with how he handled the Mark Breeland issue leads me to believe that he’s operating strictly out of ego
2737989, 100% ... he should've fought Ruiz and faced AJ/TF winner

2738019, Exactly!

Shit, I wouldn’t have been mad at that Charles Martin match that was rumored. At least he’d get two camps with his new (unproven) trainer
