Interesting to see what Fury does now, I’ve always feared for the moment he steps away. I think he needs to stay involved in the sport for his own sanity.
A non-title Joshua/Fury fight would still fill Wembley. That's about all he has left really.
On the fight last night - Usyk does enough, always. 8-4 was a stretch, maybe 7-5 would have been fairer, but how Fury thinks he won that fight is beyond me. Not a classic, certainly compared to the first fight.

Shame it's 5 years too late.
Very true, but still a huge fight. Both yesterday's men now.

2 fights with AJ and then absolutely lose his mind in retirement. I do very much worry for him post fight career.
Issue is he'd probably do well with some media gigs if his mouth didn't get him into trouble every 5 seconds.
Could've slot nicely into the Froch/Bellew/Khan paychecks but no one will touch him in fear of what he says.
He's his own man and is set up financially for more than one lifetime so doesn't need to be a tv friendly pundit and can stay true to himself and enjoy his freedom in that respect.

Had the chance to unify the division for British Boxing and setup a fight/ series of fights that could have been a legacy but danced about each other outside the ring for 5 years and a meeting as has beens with no belts on the line would be a pale shadow of what it might have been… (although would still generate more revenue than an Usyk - Dubois unification fight )
Shane McGuigan made a very good point re Fury v AJ after the fight. Was basically saying that Fury thrived off being the man, and he wasn't sure he'd have it in him to promote and that fight off the back of two losses.

I like listening to Shane McGuigan he's incredibly perceptive maybe as you'd expect doing the job he does but he is so well articulated.
Where does usyk go from here? Got very little interest in the dubois rematch and it doesnt do anything for his legacy... would going back down to fight beterbiev and bivol make sense? There is nothing at cruiser that sells and If he takes them out he is in GOAT conversations

Beterbiev v Bivol 2 is 22 February (same bill as Dubois v Parker) - if Beterbiev wins again then a fight with Usyk would be absolutely huge. If Bivol wins then likely a third fight and then Usyk fights the winner, again huge. They are probably Usyk's big pay day opponents as there is very little left in the heavyweights - Usyk v Dubois/Parker would be a hard sell.

Definitely the fight to make and it's probably one of the few times someone going back down in weight makes the fight bigger than someone going up
Eubank v Benn signed for April in London. Rumoured date is 26th but the venue is as yet unknown.
What weight?
Reportedly it will be at 160 with a rehydration clause of 170 on fight day. Not sure if that's confirmed though because i know Eubank originally said he wouldn't agree to it.
I think even at 160 Eubank will have far too much for Benn. He's operated at a higher level throughout his career.
Benn has been inactive for too long and if it goes into the later rounds I can see the experience of Eubank being the deciding factor.
