Eddie thinks parker will be DDD , well thats made my mind up a Dubois stoppage is in coming

[hugh grant]

You can't keep making ddd underdog. DDD stops parker.
Then Josh v fury winner fights ddd.

[Left Hook Louie]

"...and D D D Down goes DuBois, a crushing right hand from Bakole puts the Brit face down on the canvas. He's not getting up from this one..."

...as might be heard on the telecast of a main event later this year...

[James Hunt]

Hearn should stop insulting people's intelligence.
AJ never again touches DD, not even with a stick.
It's Fury or retirement.

[Marchegiano]

I'm skeptical they fight but if they do I think I'll take Joshua actually. Fury's hard to take seriously when he's at his best. Coming off back to back losses I'm not so sure we ever see Fury take boxing seriously again.

I'm not so convinced about DDB. I'm not 100 percent but I have a feeling we're in for a surprise in the DDB V Joseph Parker fight.

Both of these fighters have gotten old and lost the skill set they used to have they're not able to execute their speed is gone if they continue fighting it'll be a MoneyGrab for both fighters.

And nothing more than a money grab it will be which the Brits and no one else will chew up like the best thing since sliced bread
Slow Eddie knows how to turtle them into believing anything he says

Fury vs Joshua at Wembley in June. I think it's almost inevitable unless Fury decides to retire. Although they'll make huge money. it's a massive risk for them both, even more for Fury than it is for Joshua. I make Fury the favourite at this point, but if AJ manages to clip Fury with a 'punch from the gods' and sends him rocking and reeling like Usyk did then it will be a lot worse for his pride and his legacy than losing two close fights to Usyk who is now considered an ATG by most. On the other hand, if Fury outboxes and outpoints Joshua then AJ isn't necessarily finished. In many ways, if it's a fairly competitive and entertaining fight then he would be ending his career on a better note than flat on his face with Dubois standing over him. So, in my eyes, Joshua has more to gain and Fury has more to lose. I think Fury is smart enough to realise this too and that he might be better off denying AJ the chance altogether by retiring. I just don't see Tyson walking away. He fought well in defeat and he's not shot yet (even if his punch resistance may be fading). If he genuinely thinks he can box the ears off AJ then I think he'll take the fight. I'm sure his pride is still hurting after the Usyk defeats, but if he beats AJ in style at Wembley before he retires then he can at least say he fought almost all the best heavyweights of his generation and beat Klitschko, Wilder, and Joshua. The only crazy curveball I could see is if Klitschko really does come out of retirement and they make Fury-Klitschko II, which is as insane as it is unlikely. If that happens, and AJ is left without a dance partner, I could see him fighting Wilder rather than Dubois. If I was Eddie, that's the fight I'd work on for Joshua if Fury falls through. Wilder might be shot, but Joshua is coming off a bad knockout too and I'd still watch it even after all these years.
