A note to Fight Freaks Unite readers: I created Fight Freaks Unite in January 2021 and eight months later it became available for paid subscriptions for additional content — and as a way to help keep this newsletter going and for readers to support independent journalism. If you haven’t upgraded to a paid subscription please consider it. If you have already, I truly appreciate it! Also, consider a gift subscription for the Fight Freak in your life.
Note: If you’re a subscriber and click the headline in the schedule email you receive each Tuesday it will bring you to the Fight Freaks Unite schedule page. That page is updated daily until the new email goes out the following week.

Thanks, Dan.
However, I am looking for....
Joshua vs Fury; or
Joshua vs Joyce; or
Joshua vs Wilder; or
Joshua vs Ruiz; or
Fury vs Joyce; or
Joyce vs Usyk; or
Fury vs Usyk - will happen, intervening events excepted.
Wilder vs Usyk - it seems, seeing W's power, U is scared and does not want him anymore. I remember he claimed that a Wilder would be the easiest. Really? W is quicker and obviously has bigger punch and chin than AJ.
