Fury admits he is avoiding Usyk

I think its tolerated cause the wbc is corrupt and a joke organisation tgat makes money of Fury or or forced by his shady connections.
Either way, they aint stripping him. Wilder and AJ wont fight either l.
Just dont consider wbc a real belt and its solved.

 

I actually rated Fury for a long time. When I saw him against Chisora in their rematch I felt he had the tools to maybe beat Wlad and when he did I was impressed with the performance, even though the fight hardly was a classic. Then I was sad to hear that he retired and hoped he would come back.

And when he did, Wilder after two easy tune-ups seemed like a pretty gutsy challenge, one he should have won. After that I was a little disappointed that he followed up against two unranked fighters, but a rematch with Wilder seemed like the right course.

Then I started to tire of him with all his incessant talk of walking away from the prolonged negotiations with Joshua, but I didn't blame him when Wilders rematch clause came in the way (now I feel distinctly less sure about how much of an accident that really was).

After that he really started to **** the bed, though. Retiring and unretiring after Whyte, then changing the date for facing Joshua and ending up with Chisora instead. Him running his mouth about how Usyk was ducking him, just like he'd done about Joshua, was also tiring, but I still thought they'd make the fight in the end.

When he demanded 70-30 and wasn't even satisfied with that and lied about being in camp etc. I was truly disgusted with him, and after that he has only made things worse.

 

As a reminder Jermall Charlo is still WBC champion even though he has not boxed for more than two years.

 

Just a guess, they will only strip him if Wilder/Joshua get made, to sanction it as their vacant title bout.

 

Funny how according to Warren and Fury belts don’t matter yet all we have heard about since 2018 is the mythical “Lineal champion”

 

Lineal title doesn't have a plastic belt to represent it and is the most sought after and most worthy accolade in boxing. It's the OG achievement, to be the man who beat the man which is historically going back to caveman times how men decided who was the grand daddy. People can cry all they want that the lineal ship was broken yada yada but there is precedent to determine these things and Fury still today regardless of all the riff raff is still the Lineal champ which is worth more than any plastic belt.

 

Y'all can blame Floyd Mayweather for Tyson Fury's cowardice and disgusting duck of Oleksandr Usyk.

 

So when Fury retires undefeated what happens to the lineal title?

 

If this is not ducking then nothing is.
Its the biggest duck in boxing history and worse than bowe vs lewis.
He did this to himself. It would even be fine if he vacates but holding the belt hostage, running his mouth and acting like Usyk is running from him makes it way worse.
You rarely see that much cowardice from a fighter.

This guy??

I always think about that insult rant he performed to Usyk after the Chisora fight...

And/or unwilling to take the risk of doing all that hard work and still potentially losing... which would be even more damaging to his ego than turning up unfit and losing.

Ducking is absolutely the right word.

 

Partly because so many fell for the Wilder hypejob - they thought that beating Wilder meant Fury was a serious fighting man and worthy/capable of becoming that dominant champion... perhaps Fury only took that fight all along knowing how fraudulent that narrative was and that it'd allow him to ride on a false reputation of his own, not having had to truly earn it?
