Fury will KO Lewis out in a hurry. Lennox was a very impressive fighter no doubt, very high fighting IQ and very aggressive and rugged BUT he is no match for Fury. And You can't become UNDISPUTED if you don't have the WBC belt. When Fury fought Vladimir Klitschko, he only had the WBO, WBA, IBO and IBF belts. His brother Vitali had the WBC belt.

Google Lewis please. Fury dey learn for Lewis side

Openbusiness:
You are wrong. Fury didn't defeat Klitschko for undisputed. Fury has never been Undisputed Champion. That's the only record he is lacking and that's the only reason he came back to fight again. When Fury beat Klitschko, he beat him for the 4 Belts AJ is holding right now: WBO, WBA, IBO and IBF. And then he retired due to some issues and dropped those belts. Nobody beat him. And no heavyweight Boxer on the planet, past and present, matches Fury's record, not even Mohammed Ali, so who tf is Lewis. Once Fury wins UNDISPUTED, he OFFICIALLY becomes the GOAT of Heavyweight Boxing.

So you know, Lewis was the last undisputed champion.
Klitchko brothers held the present divided titles and didn't fight each other. True, Fury won the unified titles from Klitchko, but his brother held the remain title, which Fury has now.
The last Undisputed Heavyweight Champion is the same Lennox Lewis. If you think AJ or Fury is better than Lewis, then you have to go back and watch the beast that Lennox Lewis was.

Openbusiness:
This fight is not about money, this fight is about LEGACY. HISTORY would be made whoever wins the undisputed fight, especially with Fury. If Fury wins, he will officially become the GREATEST HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION IN BOXING HISTORY, not even Mohammed Ali can measure up to him. As it is right now, Fury is the ONLY heavyweight champion that has won all the belts. He has won WBA, WBO, WBC, IBF, IBO, Linear, Ring Magazine (twice) etc, and he did it without losing a single fight. Fury remains UNDEFEATED. Even Mohammed Ali didn't win all the belts or achieve this impossible record that Fury has. The only thing, the other boxing legends have that Fury doesn't have yet is Unification, becoming Undisputed Heavyweight Boxing Champion. If Fury wins unification, and this is the only reason he is still fighting, he will become the greatest Heavyweight Boxing Legend of all time. The GOAT of Heavyweight Boxing. That's History in the making. But for AJ, his own history is becoming the first African to win Heavyweight boxing unification and first African Undisputed Heavyweight Boxing Champion. Even though he is fighting with the British flag, if he wins, the story will be the first Nigerian-British UNDISPUTED Heavyweight Boxing Champion of the world, like Ruiz made history first Mexican-American Heavyweight Champion. So this fight is about GLORY, and Glory = EGO.

Oga mi, when Fury defeated Klitchko, he was unified champion, it's nothing new. He had all titles when He defeated Klitchko.
Every boxing fight is about Legacy. Fury can never be the greatest heavyweight in history. Even as British, Lewis is miles ahead of both AJ and Fury.

Necksonnel:

Hughie Fury vs Mariusz Wach is on now.
Fury family dey fight

Matinho:
Thats the question we should be asking and where to watch it, rather than all the silly and baseless arguments i m seeing.

If you had taken your time to go through the posts, you would have seen the link posted..

BluntTheApostle:
Haha, dishonest ke.

Maybe he is not much of a risk-taker.

But his talent is not in doubt. I think we both agree on that.

And he is a better boxer than AJ, in my opinion.

Fury is dishonest, just try and follow him. Klitchko complained about the same until Fury was banned. He refused the rematch.
Fury is a great fighter, yes, very skillful. But the only person that can match him skill for skill is AJ.

AJ is an Olympic champion, that means he has the basic boxing skills, hit and dont get hit, he can dance and he is a heavy puncher.

Fury might be more skillful as he started boxing earlier than AJ. But I am not placing him to far ahead of AJ. They have sparred before when younger and they both respect each other, don't you think that if Fury messed AJ up in that sparring, he would be singing it now, because he is so loud mouthed. I love Fury but he fall hand ducking Wilder.

They have agreed to fight, both the boxers and promotions. AJ and Fury have even agreed as per money, they're doing it 50 / 50, then both are even ok with taking a pay cut to make the fight happen. Because this fight ain't about money. This fight is about ego, it's about who's the big dog that owns the yard, it's about who has the biggest deek in the square circle. If AJ beats Pulev, he will right Fury before August 2021. WBC has already given greenlight to wave Fury's mandatory. Wilder's rematch clause has expired, and there's no more contractual obligations for Fury to fight him, so he's now at the complete mercy of Fury. Wilder has even taken Fury to court, but of course he knows it's a list case. Even his management knows. And that's why he keeps crying and wailing all the time on Twitter and IG begging and insulting Fury to give him the 3rd rematch. Fury won't fight Whyte for now, especially after White lost his last fight against Povetkin, and is even looking for a rematch with Povetkin and Fury already blasted off Whyte that he should come back to challenge him when he has made a name in boxing by himself, instead of getting popular through being one of the bummers AJ knocked out . Fury AJ 2021 guaranteed if AJ wins tonight. It's up to AJ now and that's why I believe is the motivation AJ will use to KO Pulev tonight

First, the fight is not about anyone's ego, they are fighting to unify the division. It is just an added advantage that they are both British, so it's the biggest fight to be in British boxing history, to have 2 heavy weight English Champs going at it to unify the division. No fighter will fight any other fighter for ego. That was the mistake Wilder made and is regretting it right now. It is about unifying the division and having one undisputed champ. I agree with you that pride comes in, but that is not the main reason for the said fight, it is about unification of the titles.
Wilder had surgery and was hopeful that they settle for a later date, but how would Fury then quickly come out to say the contract has expired. He he has balls, let him take the fight again. I am now believing that Fury is scared of Wilder.
For Whyte, he is mandatory challenger for Fury, he blew that by losing to Povektin, in a fight that he already had in the bag. Once Whyte wins the rematch, he is definitely fighting Fury.
For AJ vs Fury, forget it, na publicity you dey see. There is much more to it than just announcing, they want to unify the division and yet if AJ agrees to the fight next, he has to vacate the IBO title, so what are they unifying?

BluntTheApostle:
But Fury has beaten Wilder two times already. And he did so dominating him both times.

Even though the first fight was officially declared a draw, it was very obvious that Fury beat Wilder convincingly.

I don't think he is ducking Wilder.

As much as we know Fury won the first fight, Please was it announced as a win for him or a draw.
Officially, we have a draw and a win for Fury, the third fight should hold. Fury is not honest. If he was so certain, why is he running away.
Even AJ has said he will give Ruiz a third fight. That's much about honesty.
I love Fury as a fighter, but he is cunning and dishonest.
Imagine him hoping AJ loses this fight

The Congo King BAKOLE just won. He's been sparring with AJ. Benefits of sparring with the champ

BluntTheApostle:
They didn't make such agreement.

Mark my words.

It is very unlikely that they would fight in 2021, irrespective of the outcome of AJ-Pulev.

Usyk and Joe Joyce are likely to fight early next year. If Usyk is still the same Usyk that I know before he moved up weights, then he is very much likely to be Joshua's only big fight next year.

You are too correct. But Usyk vs JJ will only happen if AJ vacates the IBO title. Usyk will definitely fight AJ as he is Mandos for him after this fight. I would have loved to watch Usyk vs JJ though, JJ is too underrated. Just like AJ

But should AJ win this, there is no rematch, it's unto the next one, Pulev will have to work his way back to be contender number 1

BluntTheApostle:
Fury did not avoid Wilder.

He has convincingly beaten Wilder two times. He has nothing else to prove as far as fighting Wilder is concerned.

As for the fight with AJ, both men will fight mandos to be ready for each other.

It is not a fight that will be organized in a rush.

There is a third fight clause in the contract. So then why is Wilder sueing (sic) Fury if there is no clause for a third fight.
You see, no be today Fury start this game. He did the same with Klitchko when he first won Klitchko. He refused to accept the rematch, despite the rematch being in the contract. Wilder is ready to fight Fury, but Fury is not who you think is he, he will keep ducking and will fight only bums. Thing is that he has a mandatory challenger who is Povektin for now, unless Whyte beats Povektin. AJ vs Fury will not work for now, unless AJ will vacate some belts. But for Wilder vs Fury, Fury is playing a game here.

AFONJACOW:
Stop beating around the bush Fight Wilder , u can't avoid him for ever

Wilder has confessed himself that he rejected an offer from AJ for a fight, just so that he will fight Fury, and now Fury is avoiding Wilder himself. So AJ never avoided Wilder, Wilder did the ducking.

Just watch how Fury will duck AJ after tonight's AJ's win

greggng:
I don't hate Aj. ..don't be too confident ....he is gonna lose

I am pretty much confident. Pulev is 39 and is the challenger. You do not become champion overnight. AJ has defeated better fighters. Pulev is only contender because he defeated a washed up Derrick Chisora. Who doesn't beat Chisora these days?

Okolie fights for GB, just like AJ. AJ is his manager. He still has to work hard before becoming number 1 contender for his division.

lekki1444:
why yall aint mentioning our igbo brother who is fighting today out of London LAWRENCE OKOLIE. Thats him with AJ

So where are the big men that are into other sports? There is no big man anywhere in any sports that can challenge a professional boxer without being a professional himself. Boxing also pays more than most sports you know about, just to be clear. And there are 100s of the supposedly big men contending to get a shot at the heavyweight titles, but believe me, no body dey anywhere wey fit even contend with the top7 heavyweights. And there's millions of $$$ in boxing. AJ is richer than 98% of the footballers you know today.

In Boxing, fight day is payday. Then there's the deals and endorsements, just like other sports.


Fury only said "prime" Mike Tyson will defeat him, just like it was proven by experts that prime Mike Tyson will defeat prime M. Ali.

Claudiusdeux:
Because boxing no longer has the 'Big men' it used to.

Black Americans used to provide a lot of the big men for boxing...back when it was difficult for a black man to go into other professional sports because of racism. Now, such racism no longer exists. The big men that would have provided some tough competition for AJ are into other sports.

Also, boxing is not stable salary wise compared to other sports.

Just to show you how boxing has 'depreciated'....Tyson Fury believes prime Mike Tyson would have beaten him

But i may be wrong.

Na wa for Bron o. How him go say this na the toughest ring him don win na. Even if some of us knew before the season started that Lakers will emerge champions, but for baba to say it was the toughest, e no gel na. Him sha wan glorify the ring, but for where? Comma still dey.
Then again una Laker boys, E don do na, we know say una don win, e don do, the new season is almost upon us, make una allow us concentrate na. Congratulations to you guys, una ring na una own, we no collect am. lol.
@steady, I watch the game yesterday and that Horton-Tucker kid is legit. I thougt he was someone with experience until I checked him out today and saw he is only 20. The guy na baller and his confidence is something to really commend. Trez too was massive last night, I still believe Clippers bleeped up letting him go to the Lakers, he'll deffo be huge for you guys. Without Bron, this team goes nowhere, lets hope baba stays healthy all season, but I doubt it sha.
From what I saw last night, Clippers will struggle without Kawhi and PG, even with them, they will struggle this season. Ibaka didn't play much last night but he is a solid addition with the little we saw. I sha don port.
Did anyone watch the Blazers game? That team will cause problems this season, they just have to stay healthy.

robosky02:
The kubra pulev..... Is set... Can A.J. survive this

Question is, can Pulev survive 3 rounds with AJ. Biko AJ is the champ and this is expected to be a walk in the park for him. AJ wins by KO inside 4 rounds

Congratulations Lakers. See why I didn't waste my time hoping the heat could steal the series. The Heats mehn, massive respect for that team. See you guys next season, I hope LeBron does not even make the playoffs and old age catches up with the beast, but well championship has been well deserved. Congratulations

Broom Broom Broom!!!!
Although anything can happen tho, but not with this Lakers
When Lakers wins game 2, Heat should just forget it abeg.

steady986:
Lol. Are you trying to use reverse psychology on the Lakers. Since you've been rooting against them since round 1 and they've been winning, you say make you root for them hoping that they will lose

My brother, we are talking about leBron's team here o. If the Lakers lose, I will be the happiest person, but since that team is unstoppable with leBron and AD, I better not stress myself and be neutral for once, I cannot be praying for someone to lose everyday and he only gets better. So better I relax and enjoy myself. Sincerely, Bron na cheat, 4 in 1

WeissVonner:
Man. They have Jimmy who's a dog, herro and Robinson who can shoot the lights out, Bam who's staking a claim to being the best center in the East. Then you add Crowder and Iggy, good wings. You're right, I think I have to revise my prediction to Lakers in 4.

I totally agree. But it's Lakers in 5, same as all playoffs. There has to be that feel out game for Bron

steady986:
You've been talking positively about LeBron in the past few weeks or so. This is so unlike you. Are you sensing that the title is inevitable and so you're trying to win our hearts so that we don't troll you to death?

If you can't beat them, join them.
I am going with the Lakers for the finals, so make I no give myself hypertension. I no fit kill myself

Roland17:
Well deserved..Congrats to the Lakers. Murray and the Nuggets need a rim protector and a good perimeter scorer not named Murray/ Jokic...

AD and LeBum are a difficult match up for any team.

Vogel has been immense for this team with his defensive coaching.

Boss man, I hope una fit win the east o. Make Heats run and form no go end against Bron and AD. Wetin you think?

WeissVonner:
My only regret is I didn't get to steal your money.

Come on Ersan. I was only being hopeful. Even at 0 - 0, I would never bet on the Nuggets and against Bron. I am not a fan of Bron but I know what that man is capable of. 17th year fa

Congratulations Lakers, Bron remains a beast, it's just so difficult to dislike this guy. The Nuggets gave it their best, I'm proud of the team and their efforts, they can only get better. Thanks for the show JM and Jokic, Grant is legit. Like this. The finals won't be this easy tho, but I no trust Jimmy and his boys, I'd prefer the Celtics.

Lol
