Tyson Fury is losing fans in droves

doesnt matter mate fans are fickle they all hated him before and then when he came back and did what he did with wilder in first fight 6 month out from exhibition with sefari he got all the fans on his side folk love success they attach themself to. winner if he gets in with usyk next year and beats him hell be the best thing since sliced bread mate thats just how it works

 

The way Frank passionately defends this farce is very impressive.

No nonsense Frank defending the biggest pile of nonsense in boxing.

Hope he tells us what he really thinks of Fury's antics one day. Probably when Fury dumps him for a better offer

 

The entire world will be talking about/watching this fight and it’s going to draw an obscene amount of money & interest. The relatively small amount of people who are annoyed with Fury is extremely insignificant, and frankly we will all be watching along anyway.

If he agrees to fight the winner of Usyk-Dubois, all will be forgotten either way.

 

How long will we have to wait for Fury v Usyk? Another 12 months? Being a boxing fan is so ****. I honestly think Fury is waiting for Usyk to age or get beat.

 

Fury's fans said something similar when he fought Chisora.

And he isn't fighting the winner of Usyk v Dubois. There is zero chance the IBF give this time waster another opportunity to make undisputed before Hrgovic gets his shot. Will the winner of Joyce v Zhang be willing to wait as well? I doubt it that very much either, as both men aren't getting any younger and it will be more lucrative to upset the apple cart - the window for undisputed has closed. So what's that? 2025? Better to take the stance that we ain't getting it. It's done. Dusted. Time to close the book.

Even the casuals on the football message boards are turning on Luke now. It isn't just the hardcore. Maybe we'll get undisputed next decade.

 

The guy he’s fighting is hardly Conor McGregor in name size

 

There is not zero chance of anything, especially when big money is involved. The IBF are as strict as they come generally, but they are still a business. Hrgovic can probably be pursuaded to wait and Joyce-Zhang are not next in line anyway & are under Franks control. IF all parties want the fight, I wouldn’t be surprised if they announce soon that a deal is agreed subject to Usyk coming through.

With Fury signing this deal with the Saudis, the fight is a step closer IMO. The only thing which would get preferential treatment is Fury - AJ & I wouldn’t be surprised if that gets made first assuming he gets past Whyte.

 

Lost me as a fan after the ducking of Usyk and all the garbage announcements.

This era sucks

 

Mate go and have a look at his social media posts. Just thousands and thousands of people slating him and calling him a joke, farce, embarrassing, pointless etc. It's really damaging for his legacy.

He needs to be cementing what he did against Wlad and Wilder, not undermining it.

He's ran out of road now, the talk isn't fooling anyone. He's not had a meaningful fight for 3 and a half years and it'll be over 4 years the next time he has the chance.

All it will take is one loss to put a serious dent in what he's achieved - that really shouldn't be the case.

 

I have never liked Fury but I've respected him and his achievements (even though they all have an asterisk beside them). Now I don't even respect him. Biggest wanker in Boxing and that's impressive. ​

 

I'm so glad you said that. I had zero idea who Ngannou was until he came up in discussion for Fury. Not an MMA fan but I clearly knew McGregor before his tussle with Mayweather, and knew of some WWE crossovers like Shamrock, Lesnar, Severn etc... nobody else though.

 

I’m more worried about Fury aging than Usyk. Fury has hardly lived the life over the years.

 

Do you think these same people commenting would be jumping for joy if Tyson announced he was fighting Frank Sanchez, Efe Ejagba or Agit Kabayel?

The very same people will all be watching this fight, no matter what there posting on social media, which is my main point.

Unless he retires, one of AJ or Usyk will most likely be next and any little noise now will long be forgotten. It’s really that simple, no matter what a few of us moan about on here - its a very small echo chamber.

Wait till you see the socials when Fury & Nganou have there kick off pressers - it will be viral content and will sweep aside any negativity, no matter how much it maybe valid.
