If AJ v Wilder is announced at Wembley,I will try and get a ticket. Been to quite a few boxing matches over the years, I love York Hall because you are up close with the fighters. Seen fights at the 02 and the Manchester Arena but had to pay a lot to get close to the ring. I have no interest in watching boxing in a football stadium as you don't see anything. If you are going for the atmosphere then enjoy but if you want to watch the fight you are better off watching it on TV.

His opponent never turned up.

Casual from what you saw do you think AJ will beat Wilder? Yes. Thought wilders stamina looked suspect. Always dangerous though.

That second knockdown was pretty special.....massive blow and a punch on the way down as well. Fury looks out of it....then gets up like the undertaker from WWE and is clear eyed. Edited by Stirlingsays (02 Dec 2018 11.49am) That’s the thing though. He looked like he’d been shot ? Hit the deck, was expecting to see him on a stretcher, then he got up and looked like he was in the first round of an easy spar, never seen anything like it. Edited by Casual (02 Dec 2018 6.13pm)

Pretty much as I called it. I reckon next up Wilder will take a mandatory fight in the US from the WBC, which is Breazeale at present, AJ will maybe take on Pulev and Fury will take a fight in the UK against someone (maybe Whyte if Hearn and Warren don't act like idiots) before they can finally sort out which of the two take on AJ.
Optimistic as ever |

If I was Fury , I wouldn’t fight whyte /Chisora. As he could lose that fight , then the wilder/ Joshua fight is a million miles away, with no belt and no unbeaten record.

He's beaten Chisora twice so it wouldn't be him, were he to win the Whyte rematch that is. I can just see the other two palming him off for a while so if he wants to capitalise on this in the meantime I see him having a UK based bout. Whyte was just throwing a name out there, as he's one that they could sell the fight with and I don't see him troubling Fury really either.

Edited by Casual (02 Dec 2018 6.13pm) Ditto....it's already a bit of boxing history. Much as I'm not that much of a fan of Fury I can see them making a film about his comeback and the fight.....there's something of the gypsy Rocky about it.

Lennox Lewis was at ringside and thought Fury won the fight easily.

I'm not sure AJ does beat those two. Not saying he won't either mind you. As they say, styles make fights and often it depends whose style does/doesn't suit you. One things for certain,there are three heavyweights now who sit on top of the pile. The second tier of heavyweights are also strong however these three are top of the tree and it would be great to have some kind of round robin where they all fight each other. Whilst I think AJ is the best all rounder, I think Fury is the best boxer and wilder the most powerful. Not sure AJ would have got up from one of those DW bombs last night.
