I never saw this thing coming since I don't really know about the rules, I only watch how they entertained and give good fights in the ring which will make every audience watch them again. Nevertheless, this is some good news if they know Joshua since he hasn't stepped in the ring for too long and he needs to fight USYK since he worked hard for that title. I have a feeling that this fight will gonna happen because is not a bad match anyway, both fighters have already proven how deadly they are inside the ring.

Usyk didn't have a convincing performance in his last fight. He lacks power and is undersized. He doesn't have a lot of professional experience for his age. Everything is in Joshua's favor so I expect him to win without too much problems.
The stats has what I need to believe that Joshua is going to win this bout, the reach and the experience is going to be all in favor of Joshua. Usyk looks at a prejudiced stance, a cocky fighter and we know what happens to cocky fighters. May 23, 2021, 09:15:31 PM
The only way a Fury vs Joshua fight can happen now is if Joshua defeats Usyk and if Fury defeats Wilder. How many of us saw this scenario coming? 
I am seeing this coming. Joshua vs Usyk is definitely a match made for Joshua. I am not totally discounting Usyk but it seems he doesn't have the power to stop Joshua. He couldn't even manage to KO Chisora.
As to the Fury vs Wilder III, Wilder is not anymore the fighter that he once was after being defeated inside and outside the ring. That will easily be a Fury match.
The next fight of Joshua and Fury is against each other.

The WBO has given Joshua and Usyk until 31st May 2021 to agree terms for the fight. The only way a Fury vs Joshua fight can happen now is if Joshua defeats Usyk and if Fury defeats Wilder. How many of us saw this scenario coming?
This is really unexpected all we know is Fury and Joshua will meet in the ring, there have been so many talks until the judge favors Wilder, so there's a delay and there's also a possibility that they will not meet, in case anyone of them losses the fight, in this particular fight I favor Joshua to win the match, USYK is a good fighter but on skill and power Joshua has the edge.
I hope Joshua and Fury beat their respective opponents, the world wants a Fury - Joshua more than any other.

Since the extension request of the team Joshua has been denied, this short amount of time would be difficult for them to truly decide with all that's happening. This was made possible by the team of Usyk enforcing the fight, right? Whether or not they will accept the terms, I guess they have no choice but to fight and accept terms unless they want to give the title without any effort, lol.
I don't think Fury-Joshua will happen anytime soon.

Joshua is a great fighter ... but I'm afraid Usyk will ruin his career. in 2015 I watched Usyk's title defense live, and then he was no less a dangerous fighter than he is now. The only option in which Joshua can win is based on training the spirit .. no matter how strange it sounds, but probably his best solution would be to train and meditate in some kind of Tibetan monastery.

A new poll has been added after the poll for the first match was locked when the fight ended:
The date and location for the rematch are not confirmed yet. I will try to update the thread as soon as it is announced.
The WBO has ordered Anthony Joshua to fight Oleksandr Usyk after he was unable to fight Tyson Fury. As you may know Fury has been ordered by a Judge in the Court of Arbitration to fight Wilder for their trilogy but the WBO gave Joshua 48 hours to find a solution and fight Fury otherwise they would force Joshua to fight the No1 contender - which is Usyk. The deadline expired therefore Joshua will have to fight Usyk now.
If for some reason Joshua decides to avoid the fight with Usyk then he will be stripped of the WBO title and it will be given to the winner of Usyk and his opponent. I think Joshua will not forfeit any of the 4 titles he currently holds so the fight will go ahead.
