    Pulev was an absolute disgrace in his last fight against Booker for not putting him away. He had a walking punch bag in front of him and still couldn't get the knockout. Absolutely easy work for Joshua.

    Majorly underwhelming indeed

    Joshua needs to up his game and stop being a *
    Want to be the best....need to fight the best

    He's deffo a bit of a shitebag for me..

    The way he fought Parker and Andy Ruiz in the rematch tells me that..

    Handpicks his opponent's majorly..

    Fury would absolutely destroy Joshua, honestly i think even Wilder would do him in.

    Fury would rip the pish out of him. I've thought it for year's and now I'm certain of it..

    The only chance I'd give Joshua against Wilder is by finishing him early. He's (AJ) got a poor chin and when he gets hit he goes in to a robotic dance. Wilder for all his faults has devastating power....Joshua has terrible head movement and Wilder would knock him out in spectacular fashion in my opinion..

    I'd quite like to see that fight if I'm honest still..

    Joshua can duck him now Wilder has zero to offer belt wise..

    AJ would beat Wilder now, Fury has removed the only thing he had which was the spectre of a devastating right hand which knocks out everyone.

    AJ is a better boxer than a lot give him credit for, not in Fury’s league obviously but he has skills whereas Wilder just doesn’t.

    At no point in his career was Wilder capable of beating Klitschko IMO yet AJ did it.

    great two fights hardly anyone cares about getting in the way of the one fight everyone actually wants to see, typical boxing.

    This is worth watching even if you just watch the first 15 mins, powerful stuff.

    I take it people don’t understand champions have mandatory defences then?

    If Joshua doesn’t fight Pulev the IBF strip him of his belt, and the undisputed fight with Fury doesn’t happen.

    People criticising the guy for supposedly hand picking opponents who don’t know how the game works is absolutely rife.

    The guy has the best resume in heavyweight boxing bar none, and I’m a Fury fan.

    Isn't as simple as that, there are numerous mandatory challengers and it can be worked around. Ultimately with $$$.

    I agree with this. But with Wilder accepting the rematch (it seems), there isnt a whole lot of choice for Joshua but to take that mandatory.

    He’s invoked his rematch clause but was there any discussions about paying him off?

    Mandatory challengers have leverage but title stripping is avoidable with enough dough.

    Tyson Fury: The Gypsy King Category - Episode 3 of 3 - 9pm -10pm tonight on ITV1.

    Following a tougher than expected contest against Otto Wallin, Tyson's father John is critical of trainer Ben Davison, and Fury's team eventually part ways with the trainer as his rematch with Deontay Wilder is finally confirmed. Before the contract is signed for his fight with Wilder, the boxer also takes part in a lucrative WWE bout in Saudi Arabia against Braun Strowman. (Enjoy fight fans)
