I thought they would have too be in the top 15 rankings of the WBC? From that list there's only Bakole and Kabayel without upcoming fights.
Usyk says he would like the fury fight to happen next year brand new interview clip This content is protected
The WBC said Fury could fight either the Ortiz-Ruiz winner or the Wilder-Helenius winner next to fullfil his mandatory. If that happens in December, then he'll be clear all next year to fight anyone. If he's announcing who he's fighting in December next week, the only fight that will be concluded by then is Ortiz-Ruiz. So, odds are, that's the pick. Fury vs Luis Ortiz or Andy Ruiz
Oh that would be a great story arc, brother goes for revenge. I'm getting pumped up with excitement for it already!
Don't think it will be a mandatory defence as it's a 4 man elimination box off too determine the next challenger. Plus his last fight was a mandatory. Will have too keep an eye on the rankings too see who appears at 15
I'm surprised at the number of people on this thread who are acting as though Fury is a man of his word and are taking this seriously.
Called it weeks ago It fits the Fury MO; have a soft tune up and then be in fine form for the big fight He did it in the past with the Hammer; Pianeta and Schwartz/Wallin fights - albeit the Wallin one nearly went wrong because of the cut Who will be the lucky winner of the Fury sweepstakes this time - Chisora perhaps?
This is where Hearn/AJ could make a bold move and call out Fury for the December tune-up. 'Unlike Usyk, Big Joshie doesn't have any injuries and has no family life since the kid of the stripper is being raised by underprivileged cheap labour from the Empire. He was planning a December fight anyway, so let's make it happen!'
How is this ****ing? Usyk has announced he cannot fight this year ffs... Fury will fight usyk in the new year when usyk has wiped his ass, taken his knickers off and taken the bandaids off the scratches he got against AJ.
