It wont be Fury in December, AJ has signed a long term deal with DAZN they can't cash out that quick

If he loses wouldnt be suprised if its Chisora, if he wins maybe a 3rd Whyte fight or Bakole, he will probably have 2 or 3 fights before the Fury unification (if he wins)

People who actually have retired would have relinquished their belts...

AJ should retire if he loses, he has enough money and all that is left is smaller fights for less money that are leading no where and more chances to destroy any legacy he has left.
Obviously if he wins the TF fight is the obvious option but I think negotiations will be tough as Fury is likely to want 80/20 or something ridiculous so it might be unmakeable. Otherwise I guess it will be a Mandatory (Joyce or Hrgovic i guess?)
Why would he retire boxing is his life and hes prime losing to Usyk twice isnt that bad

People dont fight for legacy they fight for money or because its their life

AJ vs Wilder, AJ vs Whyte II, AJ vs Joyce, AJ vs Dubois still big fights

Once you have £100m+ and have been twice World champion, fighting non title fights are beneath you. If he was an idiot like Mayweather spunking money up the wall and broke all the time it would make sense but AJ is pretty switched on Business wise. I think AJ has enough other things going on to waste time on B league fights. You wouldn't see Messi or Ronaldo in the Championship!
AJ has a long term deal with DAZN he has to take B level fights or he might end up with back to back losses

AJ vs Whyte/Dubois/Joyce are huge domestic fights and I guarantee you if he loses to Usyk he will take a "B" Level opponent in December, its not an argument its just common sense

We don't know the contractual conditions of the DAZN deal, there could easily be a get out if he loses or AJ may have a "can retire anytime" clause. I still cannot see why he would want to take those B level fights, what about them is going to make him get up at 5am to do the training? Nothing. They would only be "Huge" if they wore world title fights, as low level fights they have little financial value especially if DAZN think they can sell them as PPV which I can't see doing more than 100-200k which would barely cover AJ's fee (and that's assuming DAZN sensibly put a significant reduction to the contract value if he loses).
Your a weird guy, take a break from the internet like I said im not arguing you will see

I really couldn't see what the plan would be at that point if he loses? Hope that Fury really retires and relinquishes the WBC belt and hope he can get a chance to fight for it? I presume if that does happen Usyk will want to scoop it up anyway which rules AJ out. There is very little chance that he could fight Usyk a third time without probably beating at least two of Joyce/Dubois/Wilder and even then it would seem like a long shot. Assuming he could make and win those fights that would likely take us into 2024 anyway by which time he'll be 35 and past it. I still have yet to hear a credible plan from anyone that is more sensible that AJ retiring if he loses...
Do you think anyone here cares that much about AJ's life to make a "credible" plan, its just abit of fun and predictions its not that serious, you need a new hobby
