    “Beating Usyk doesn’t do anything for me, who the flipping heck is he? Me giving Usyk a fight is like me not chucking him the bone, but chucking him the full dog’s home. Everybody expects me to beat Usyk, a middleweight guy who is smaller than me. If he beat me it’s like ‘Oh my god, he beat the mammoth who no one couldn’t beat!’ I’m not going to give somebody the opportunity to gain that. Hell no.”

    Case closed. Fury is petrified of the thought of facing and losing to Usyk. I’m eagerly awaiting the Furyette congregation to give their spin on this.

    Which of the usual BS will it be, I wonder:
    1) “He was just joking, he is so funny”
    2) “He is selling his upcoming fight”
    3) “Oh no, his men’al ‘elf again!”

    I'm surprised. It's a candid explanation of why he is ducking Usyk.

    Just confirms what we already knew:

    1) He's only interested in making as much money as possible from relatively safe fights.

    2) He's happy that his reputation is secure without needing to beat the best in the division.

    3) Wilder ain't close to the threat Usyk presents - if he was, Fury wouldn't have fought him three times... But it suits Fury to keep Wilders OTT hype train rolling.

    This is absolutely the truth.

    The one thing going for us as fans is Furys state of mind. There's no way he's retiring after NGannou when he still feels like he's the best HW in the world.

    He retired after beating Whyte and watched Usyk and AJ face off as the best two active HWs in the world for pretty much all the belts.

    That alone was enough to bring him back active, but he can't leave Usyk and AJ unfought.

    Fury's stalling for time. Once this Ngannou guff is sorted, what then? He's already ran through the Whytes and Chisoras of the world. His and Frank's plan of having an easy in-house undisputed is in tatters, and I don't think the British public would accept a Charr or someone. Also, if he were to legitimately retire after Ngannou it looks very poor

    So whether he fights Usyk or even a guy like Sanchez, he has to face the music eventually

    Who would've thought, in Feb 2020, after Fury beats Wilder in a classic, that he would go on to have a heavyweight reign even worse than Wilder's. Who would've thought. Bonkers

    People need to boycott him and mock him to the point where either he retires and vacates or the wbc strips him.
    Atleast tarnish his reputation to the point where he himself will feel forced to fight.
    The guy is pulling of the biggest duck ever in tge way he is running scared from Usyk.

    For me they can strip Fury and have others fight for the belt. Who actually want to be real boxers. He can have his dumb coke clown fights and be a butterbean gypsy carnival sideshow fighter.

    Probably fight Dubois claiming he is the real champion, or maybe someone like Haye, Jon Jones or a bunch of midgets on top of each other.

    Unfortunately I don't think he will. After Ngannou there'll be 'beef' with someone else who isn't Usyk. Reckon he can go on for another few years with circus fights, I'll be surprised if he even fights anyone at Whyte's level again. Hope I'm wrong.

    The fury hate is nuts.

    Furys team agreed a contract with uysks, fury signed the contract and sent it over and uysk refused and wanted extras added. That's the simple facts even uysks team agree.

    Since them uysks team hasn't made one offer to fury, literally not 1.

    Yet fury is seen as the ducker here????

    Look I agree he's hard work, he wants things on his terms and for whatever reason he sees himself as the draw (which he is). But again uysk team hasn't even made an offer of 50/50....they've made zero offer.

    Here's the reality, Saudi can pay a lot of money.....fury wants bucketfulls. Saudi can't be ready till march for any superfights so have been using delay tactics left right and centre (ask eddie) for the fights to happen then. March probably doesn't fit for uysk but probably fits for fury to some degree.

    It doesn't fit for aj, wilder or ruiz either hence why all 3 of those are looking for fights now.

    I'm fully expecting to see those 3 fight again, uysk to possibly fight hrgovic if he feels he doesn't need another cycle and then most likely late April the super fights across a weekend rather than 1 day.

    Why do you keep lying about this?

    Fury never signed any contracts for fighting Usyk. He obviously didn't sign with the Saudis (it was confirmed by the Saudis themselves) and obviously didn't sign the Wembley fight either because he kept moving the goalposts after Usyk agreed to:
    1) not fighting in Saudi
    2) fighting in the UK instead
    3) no 50-50 split even though it was previously agreed upon, confirmed by both Warren and Arum
    6) no 60-40 split to the winner
    7) 70-30 to Fury
    8) rematch clause removed from the contract, even though it was Team Fury who put it there in the first place
    9) rematch back on

    That's where the negotiations broke down: the split for the first-implemented-then-removed-then-put-back-again rematch. Fury wanted to screw Usyk over once again. All those other concessions Usyk just kept agreeing and agreeing. Fury just kept demanding things over and over, as he clearly had no intentions in taking the fight. He was hoping for either one of the sanctioning bodies stepping in to order Usyk to fight a mandatory or Team Usyk getting fed up and walking away while he claims plausible deniability to his gullible fans (= you).

    But once again: Fury never signed a contract to fight Usyk. Ever. Usyk was the only one to sign a contract and that was for the fight taking place in Saudi Arabia.

    Show us sources that prove Fury signed any contracts for the Usyk fight.
