“I believe the Wilder struggle [for Joshua] is the one which took probably the most harm after the best way [Wilder has] been crushed in his final two bouts, however as for Fury, until he will get completely blasted out of there by Usyk, I believe everybody nonetheless likes the sound of the AJ struggle.”
Joshua (28-4, 25 KO) has a rematch clause to face Dubois once more, whereas Fury (34-1-1, 24 KO) has flirted with retirement earlier than and will accomplish that once more it doesn’t matter what occurs in December.
However there shall be cash accessible for Fury and Joshua in 2025, and it will completely nonetheless promote a ton of tickets.
