    Yes because at least I could understand the reasoning. Tyson is in his prime now, and he's good enough to fight the best. I can understand why ESPN wanted him fighting an American from a commercial perspective - but this standard of opponent is well below what Fury should be fighting in my opinion.

    There was no problem with Wilder making defences against Szpilka or Duhaupas and I dont think either was a mandatory.
    Fury is not holding a title so it would likely matter less who he faces

    Just doesn't do it for me. I'm a huge fan of Fury - he's probably my favourite fighter. I believe him to be the best heavyweight in the world. He's in his prime - I don't want to see him fighting people way below his level. Doesn't prove anything.

    Duhaupas will most likely face Tony Yoka in December, in France. (I am French).

    At least let him get fighting fit. He wasnt I dont think, when he fought Wilder. It takes time to lose weight and be strong again.
    Fury has arguably proven himself above any active HW when he beat Wladimir. Yes that was some time back but he wasnt active and when he became active, it didnt take him long before he fought Wilder. Now he is getting himself fit and strong I think

    To be fair to Fury, this is less than 3 months since his last fight. His handlers probably want to just keep him busy and keep him away from the pies so he doesnt baloon again. Just so long as he is in a big fight by early 2020, I dont mind him taking these keep busy fights. Just so long as he doesnt make a career out of it.

    Fury dodges live opponents better than he does punches

    Fury scraping the barrel once again. His record is looking much weaker than even Deontay's. He picks the worst, most feather-fisted bums available. This is an insult to any boxing fan.

    There's nothing wrong with keeping active.

    Look at top p4p rated spence , the last time he had an interesting fight was against Brook donkey's years ago. The guy is a part time boxer!

    More fighters should get 3 fights in per year like Fury.
