Demitri_C Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 The thing is fury admits without boxing hw doesnt have much and when he steps away his mental health goes to shit. Has he been able to conquer this or will he go through it all over again? Hopefully if he does take a step away from the ring he has enough to keep him happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was worried he was going go go back into WWE. Its a shame his half brother is so shit and uninterested in becoming a top boxer as he could have coached him full time.

WWE would be perfect for him. He has the mic skills and entertainment value to do well there. Also it wont be as dangerous as getting hit in the head. Personally i think fury should get into promoting boxing and coaching. He would be great at that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Fury will fight again, I’m sure of it. Probably the winner of Usyk / Joshua, assuming it’s the former. ’Coming out of retirement’ to fight again is a sure fire way to increase the interest and purse.

Hopefully if he does take a step away from the ring he has enough to keep him happy I think the only way he can relax is by dropping out completely, retiring. He can take his finger off the trigger. ATM boxing at heavy weight is in the air, once Joshua and Usyk have sorted their fight out then the picture may become clearer. This waiting around won't be great for Fury's mental state, hence the dropping out, imho. However if a new challenge comes along at a time he feels he can come back and be competitive then I think he will give it another go. It's a pity boxers are so protected by their promoters , MMA fighters seem to fight lose and just fight again, it would be great to see this type of thing in boxing.

foreveryoung Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I didn't think AJ sounded too confident again. In his interview he was saying he was trying to believe the information given to him by the trainer. Usyk, obviously cool as a cucumber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Follyfoot Posted August 16, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 16, 2022 I really hope AJ comes out of his shell and has a real go at trying to get this fella out of the ring. No shame if he gets carried out on his shield, but he cannot fight the the same as last time because he will get his head boxed off again by a much superior technician. His advantage is his size and power and needs to make this pay. I honestly think that he can win this fight and stop him within five rounds 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted August 16, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 16, 2022 It seems like Joshua has to make it a scrap to stand any chance of winning, if he stands off and gives away the initiative then it's goes the same way as the first. Usyk looks like he has countered this by building up bulk. Joshua has to work on a shot or shots, that can get through Usyk southpaw stance. I can't see anything but an Usyk win unless Usyk has built up to much bulk and Joshua manages to avoid getting KO'd early and Usyk's extra weight drains his energy , Joshua KO's him late. Usyk in 5 . Be a great fight thought I'm sure , would love AJ to win late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe but there's plenty of fights out there for him to earn some money. Joyce, Wilder even Fury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like AJ versus Fury at Wembley has to happen at some point. It would be an enormous money spinner which is what it’s all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted August 16, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) Has to happen and for that reason I’d like AJ to win, otherwise I’d probably side with Usyk though I mainly just want to see a good fight. AJ vs Fury would likely to place in Saudi not the UK, sadly. Edited August 16, 2022 by fightoffyour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the moment has passed through boxing politics and incompetence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Have to remember even though he was beaten AJ is a hell of a lot bigger than usyk. He landed veey little in 1st fight and was too cautious. Absolutely ridiculous tactics to try outbox usyk only one winner there. If aj goes in alot more aggressive i think he will give uysk so major problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ needs to find away through his guard and Usyk will have probably changed to counter AJ coming straight at him, hence the weight gain. I can't wait tbh.

bannedfromHandV Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Joshua is going to get smashed up on Saturday methinks. Knockout victory for Usyk and Joshua retiring seems the most likely outcome. Imagine having to fight someone who outclassed you before his home country was invaded by Russia.

Tbh his tactics were too negative and safe doni dont thinknitbwas he couldnt get through.

foreveryoung Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I think it'll come down to if Uysk can fight the rounds 33 lbs heavier, it could be a bit too much, gotta be losing a bit of speed. He has obviously put the weight on knowing AJ will probably be going for the knock down. I think Uysk will be looking to do the same in this fight, early. Could make it a good scrap.

Strange that AJ tactics from the first fight would probably be the best way to play this one, at least in the early rounds. It's looks like Usyk is going try for an early KO so AJ needs to be switched on from round 1, Any slight distractions and hes done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if AJ is playing it super cool, but I'm not getting confidence vibes from him. Uysk on the other hand, as always, like ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
