Looks like Fury/Usyk won't happen as Fury wants 70/30. I called it months ago that it won't happen. Who will Fury fight next instead?
Hoping for Ruiz Jr. If he doesn't fight on April 29 and Joyce beats Zhang, then Joyce could be an option. Realistically though I am expecting Manuel Charr, Efe Ajagba or Agit Kabayel.
This. That guy dropped out of the ufc for a reason. From his point of view I get it. He's an african immigrant in his late 30's that got ufc peanuts and wants to cash out. He can always return and fight Jon Jones in Africa. I see that happening before Fury fights Usyk. For Fury its a safe fight and easy money. Basically Floyd vs Mcgregor (but way smaller) again. After that it will be another soft touch or already beaten opponent.
Bringing my UFC knowledge into this, Francis apparently DOES have a boxing fight in July planned and is keeping quiet about it. That's why the UFC will stack the **** out of UFC #290 Jon Jones vs Stipe Miocic with an extremely deep card so that they can gaslight Ngannou So yeah, 1+1=2. Wouldn't surprise me if Fury's team have been secretly negotiating all this time
