    Frank Warren needs to ask himself if greedy belly truly, truly wants this fight and get his answer.

    Yeah this is it for me. Recent boxing history suggests we can expect the fight to be confirmed and officially announced out of nowhere in a couple of days now, and I still think it is probably where we are headed.

    Just seems a bit surprising that Usyk would ‘play along’ if that’s the case.

    I personally think the fight will happen and I believe the entire on off negotiations have been aimed at disrupting and unsettling Usyk’s preparations.

    Not promising in the slightest. All it means is he already has a **** opponent lined up and will fight them instead of Usyk.

    no different than the AJ/Chisora situation, Fury is a fraud.

    - Ajagba
    - Ortiz
    - Shwarz rematch
    - Wallin rematch
    - Wilder 4
    - Chisora 4

    It's ok Warren and Fury saying Usyk will get more fighting him at 30% than fighting someone else but it's also the case with Fury.

    Other than Joshua who is tied up at the moment who would Fury get so much money against?
    Joyce is the next biggest fight for him but he is also tied up at the moment.
    So Fury would just end up fighting another bum and I can't see the paying public falling for it again so soon after Chisora 3!

    I'd love nothing more than Fury to fight a bum next and lose.
    It would be Karma at its finest

    Fury should have his belt taken off him the greedy hog.

    Where is Fury now in your CV table?

    Must be out the top 30 now after a quickfire double duck.

    If they were going for a soft touch I reckon they'd choose Ruiz: zero risk for Fury, big payday, guaranteed win over a former unified champion and an opportunity to further rub salt in Joshua's wounds.

    Already done (though very simplistic)

    Fury-Usyk record comparison

    Fury’s tier 1: Wlad, Wilder x3

    Fury’s tier 2: Chisora x2, Cunningham, Wallin, Whyte


    Usyk’s tier 1: Briedis, Joshua x2

    Usyk’s tier 2: Hunter, Gassiev, Chisora

    The stumbling block is Usyk wants the same split Tyson is getting if he wins. Ffs Fury, Usyk done a solid accepting 70/30 and now it’s your turn. Focus and turn up at your best and you won’t have to worry about losing, he’s the much better boxer at heavyweight.

    Fury should do 1 of 2 things.

    Either offer 70-30 to the winner for the rematch

    Or offer a straight 50-50 in return for a 1 fight deal.

    I'd be tempted to do the latter if I were him.
