This is an obvious and very good fight to make, both fighters earn a good wage and don't need to get knocked out by Joshua to earn it (although I think Fury probably bores his way to a landslide points defeat ala Parker if he fights AJ).

Im at 91.5% of a Wilder KO win
The 8.5% goes to a Furey win via smothering and frustrating and completely bamboozling Wilder...... could happen but extremely unlikely where they are in their careers right now

Former WBA champ Browne stops Long
By Ray Wheatley — World of Boxing
Former WBA heavyweight champion Lucas “Big Daddy” Browne (26-1, 23 KOs) scored a third round knockout over Julius Long (18-21, 14 KOs) on Friday at the Gold Coast Convention Centre, Broadbeach, Queensland, Australia. Long was deducted a point in the second round for holding, and in round three Browne connected with a right hand bomb that dropped the 7’1 Long and the referee crowned the Australian.
“Credit to Julius, he really came to fight. He’s such a big awkward guy and he uses his advantages really well,” said Browne. “I knew once I caught him the fight was over and it’s always nice to get the stoppage.
“There’s been some talk about David Allen in the UK too. I’ve always loved fighting over there and would love to come back over and make amends for my fight against Dillian Whyte. And here in Australia, there’s talk about Alex Leapai, which would be a great fight for Aussie boxing.”
