    Or there's somebody that will replace Usyk. Still, better be in shape if he intends to continue boxing.

    well, the fight, if it happens, will not be next MONTH! seriously, a five week camp? all of us know that fury balloons up in weight between bouts. what does he weigh right now? any body? if there IS a fury fight next month, it will be a schlub.

    Just been on the news saying the terms for an immediate rematch have proved a sticking point, with team Uysk set to walk away.
    Frank Warren said he is hoping to rescue the fight during further talks with Usyk's promoter.

    It does appear fury swerving this at all costs sadly, gone down plenty in my estimation and fans should not support him or pay for his next ppv if it is not for the Undisputed, i know i will not be.

    Fury wanted (and thought he'd got) a two-fight deal with AJ.

    Why doesn't he want a two-fight deal here?

    What's different?

    Coming from you, your statement is a compliment. I’m not the one supporting Fury’s cowardly behavior. Now run along and grab your ankles. Not that you would t be doing that anyway you puff *******.

    Usyk was paid $4.2 million for the first Joshua fight whilst Joshua was paid $13.6 million dollars plus the PPV was 60/40 in his favour. For the rematch the split was an even 50/50 with both fighters making around £30 million each iirc .

    Fury looked fine in the videos of him working out this past week.

    How revolutionary! Just like everybody did for over 100 years until this rematch clause **** appeared. Strange game run by strange people.

    I think it's reason 2. Have said this ever since Usyk won the titles.
    Fury wants Usyk as old as possible. Speed and Stamina fades, but being a giant is forever. For that reason, time will take a greater toll on Usyk stylistically than it would on Fury. Fury has proven he is not a fighting champ. He wants the path of least resistance. He'll make the fight only if backed int a corner and forced to, or if he is certain he has all the advantages possible. This is certainly Pac vs FMJ all over again.

    I stopped watching boxing because of all the corruption and lack of good fights. I thought Fury Usyk would make me come back and it's off.
    With this rate boxing will be as popular as armwresing in a couple of years.
    Even boxing forums are becoming empty.

    How does east and west even exist on a spinning ball?

    He had been training/sparring with Joseph Parker. Parker said as much the other day.

    No excuse is possible from Fury not to make this fight. None at all.
