    Hang on this doesn't add up.

    Fury isn't ready for the fight but is also demanding there be no rematch clause? Why would you get rid of that if you weren't 100%?

    Cuz Usyk's team gets even less moey now, after the 70:30 split and without rematch clause now. Fury thought, they wouldn't agree now to this one, but Usyk accepted it again, 5 ninutes ago

    Edit: I think fight is gonna happen

    If Tyson Fury won't go ...

    And the WBA "regular' whatever Daniel Dubois says he's injured (I don't know how you get injured not doing anything) ...

    That leaves the top two WBA contenders ... who are Martin Bakole and (drumroll) DEONTAY WILDER.

    Bakole says he wants to fight Dubois.

    SO BRING ON WILDER as the next WBA challenger for Usyk.

    He'll make more against Wilder in the US than taking 30 percent against Fury.

    Of course usyk wants a rematch clause. After beating fury in the first fight he wants to get his 70% share in the rematch. Fury is a disgrace plain and simple. There will be no fight 100%

    LOL so the rematch clause was on Fury’s side. This is starting to look pathetic

    Lads - I've said from the start I think Fury wins this fight and, initially at least, I wanted Fury to win.

    But, apart from @miniq, does anyone still want Fury to win?

    All this back and forth on the negotiations, the bull**** from Fury's camp, the ridiculous 70:30 split (which may make commercial sense but just strikes me as dishonourable to a fighter of Usyk's caliber), has all given me serious Fury Fatigue.

    With how protracted these negotiations have been, I'm starting to hope Usyk schools Tyson for being such a gypsy about it.

    Nothing will make me happier than seeing Usyk with all those belts and as undisputed champion.

    Good thing social media wasn't around when Muhammad Ali was fighting. People got sick of him, and there was only 30 minutes of national news on a day.;)

    Sure, I want Fury to win. He's great for the division. He's a lightning rod.

    Do you know how freaking BORING it would be if he wasn't around ... and one-fight-a-year Usyk, who can't string a complete sentence together ... was the only champ?

    Usyk's "dry" almost "mime-like shtick" doesn't work unless he has someone vocal like Fury to bounce it off of.

    If we just had Andy Ruiz smiling and Usyk smiling and everyone shaking hands, and everyone being oh so polite, and touching gloves after every round, and hugging all the time ... you guys would be bored out of your minds. Joshua tried that, and it got old really really fast.

    Lennox Lewis tried to be a gentleman, and people thought he was gay. And when he got angry and destroyed people, fans loved it. They don't want a gentlemanly, passive heavyweight champion. Fans want a heavyweight champ who can beat up anyone in the world.

    Plus, for all the garbage he spews, Fury can back it up in the ring. And everyone knows it.

    There's a famous quote about World Heavyweight Champions that points out every dominant heavyweight champion was actually a bit insane. Because when you are the World Heavyweight Champion, you may actually be able to beat any other man in the world, and that weighs on you. No matter where you go, every room you enter, there is some clown skulking in the corner who either thinks he can beat you or wants to test you. And it wears on them.

    So Fury can be funny one minute and nasty the next, because he's a violent man in a violent sport and there's always someone gunning for his head. And, if Usyk is stepping up to challenge him, then don't expect Fury to treat him nice and shake hands and act all cordial.

    The top heavyweights have always been some of the most violent people on earth. How well they can control themselves and can limit their violence to the ring can sometimes be difficult.

    It's important to the sport and the division to have an alpha male as heavyweight champ ... and not some shrinking violet.
