If Joshua is indeed the landlord, or simply Fury’s neighbor or nemesis, the prospect of Fury fighting him would be a logical next step after last night’s fight against a fan. Whereas against Makhmudov, the goal was to simply go rounds, shed rust, and reintroduce himself on the world stage, the stakes in any fight with Joshua would be considerably higher. Ergo, the interest in the fight, on the part of fans, would be considerably higher, too. It would not, unlike the Makhmudov fight, be a vanity exercise or something best done behind closed doors. Instead, despite it coming years too late, we would, with Fury vs. Joshua, see two men nervous, perhaps even fearful. It is usually then, in that scenario, we see the best in fighters. It is usually then we see a fight worth watching.
