I would probably back AJ on balance as he is more likely to win by a stoppage, on paper, and has home advantage .
The Wilder v Fury fight is even harder to call. Mainly because we have no idea what Fury will turn up ,a fit and motivated one or one who has crash dieted and flogged himself to get into shape. Against that he is blatantly a better boxer than Wilder who has previously been wild and a bit of a one trick pony.
However, what a one trick and if Fury drops his concentration then he may well be knocked out.
I’m going to back Fury, but by the slimmest of margins ,on the basis that he has Wilders number after the first two fights.
