    Eddie Hearn has claimed that Tyson Fury has now decided, "he doesn't wanna fight Oleksandr Usyk next". Hearn said Anthony Joshua would be willing to consider a step-aside, but Fury doesn't want Usyk and so he now expects Fury vs Whyte and Usyk vs AJ II to come next.

    This has turned into such a saga now, AJ was happy to step aside so was Whyte by the sounds of it. But now Fury vs Whyte is back on and AJ will fight Usyk.

    Just ****ing get on with it you dossers, the lot of you. Although I don't think Hearn or AJ are confident in the rematch.

    You would think he would stop continuously speaking publicly about this after the Fury/Wilder arbitration fiasco. Either accept the offer to step aside or not. There doesn’t need to be an announcement every 6 hours saying one thing only to contradict yourself hours later.

    I'm not listening to anyone now. Until I see the ****s in the ring I don't believe it.

    Usyk is the only real fighting man out of the lot of them.

    Who even knows what the full story is here. AJ might have been asking for some insane amount of money to step aside and then Fury's camp refused it.

    Biggest takeaway here seems to be that Joshua aint too gladiator about this rematch. Maybe if the step aside were half the pay of the Usyk that would be his condition and that wouldnt be wrong but otherwise seems a bit scared, perhaps.

    To me this is the biggest take away as well.

    It's clear AJ is not confident at all and would take a tune up fight given the chance before Usyk.

    Really disappointed in Fury if this is true, it's a blatant duck, he'll go down a lot in my estimation.

    Sorry but how is this a 'blatant duck'?

    Fury's mandatory was Dillian Whyte and AJ is contracted for a rematch with Usyk. I fail to see how this can then be turned around as Fury ducking Usyk.....

    You are taking the Hearn narrative hook and line here.

    It's not just Eddie Hearn, look at what Usyk's manager posted, everyone was willing to play their part in making Usyk v Fury happen, apart from Fury, he's the one that said no.
