    Oh yeah man, I never doubted Usyk's willingness either. I'm just stoked that now all parties have confirmed it's signed. That's a major step in the right direction, because it means at this point we'll know who the man of this generation is, one way or the other. If the fight goes on, then the winner of that will be the best. If Fury pulls out, unless it's for a very good reason and is rescheduled, Usyk is the best without having had to throw a single punch in his direction.

    It can be very easy to be cynical about the business of boxing, but the fight actually getting signed has allowed me to have some optimism and believe we'll get the answer to that question the right way, hopefully sooner rather than later :thumbsup:

    According to sources Charr will be ringside, he may storm the ring and call out the winner. Could be lights out for the Morecambe man

    My sources tell me he'll be joined by Jarrell Miller, Deontay Wilder, Andy Ruiz, Filip Hrgovic, Zhang Zhilei, Anthony Joshua, Joe Joyce, Canelo Alvarez and Mike Tyson. Whole front row is already reserved and everything. The second half of the PPV is gonna be each guy taking his turn to call out the winner AND loser of the fight.

    Stadium is due to be handed over in January

    They will use Fury Usyk as the opening event

    Given how tight their timelines normally are for these projects I suspect they will fight in January not December.

    Nice, it's about time. Looking forward to this. It should be in December.

    They are looking past Ngannou as if he doesn't even exist, with all his power and all. And rightly so. 60 year old Mike Tyson has a better chance of being competitive than slow a slugs Ngannou who may be even slower that Joyce.

    We'll see if Fury wants rounds or just goes for the ko.

    Reason Fury picked Francis was because 1. Free money and 2. Can't lose

    Unlike Usyk's dumb team who ALMOST got him bellied by Dubious who was supposed to be low risk.

    & yes Fury & Usyk's team have been in cahoots for over 12 months. Fight was always happening, just needed the money men to give a date which they have now.

    Fighting in January would make more sense than a December fight .

    It can happend multiple things that stopped this fight...
    They sind contract? Wow. Just like they do on past. Its mean nothing if You got in this contract for example subsection:
    1. The fight is cancel or move to another accept by both site if Fury got injured
    2. Ngannou fight is too hard for Fury
    3. Fury wake up in bad mood

    I dont want hate this or said it dont happend but for sure its not looks like decent contract concluded by serious people.
    Not when one of them got fight 2 month prev and even if IT will be super easy fight its too many things can happend.

    But for sure its looks Perfect. Fury vs Ngannou got bad press. Nobody care about it. Half of ppl think Fury is little coward.
    They dont buy it when they dont support Fury.

    But what if Fury who said again and again how he dont care about Usyk said he take this fight.
    It looks good. Ppl will be much more friendly for him and what he doing. And he will have profits from that. No matter if fight happend or not. Or when it happend.

    I don't like either of them, but I think Fury will win in an unbearably boring fight...

    All aboard the Gypsy Queen Merry Go Round.

    I only hope that Fury has everything signed and tied up for fighting Usyk, and then Ngannou knocks him spark out.

    The number one rule here is Fury has to set the pace of the fight. Problem is trying to set a pace on Usyk early sucks. Fury would rather box long here...but can you risk letting Usyk preserve stamina for late fight? probably not... is Fury's pressure fighting good enough to set a high tempo early doors? The answer is yes but he could drop rounds by doing so.

    The good news for Fury is we know the game Usyk is fighting and he can't switch it up on Fury. But that good news for Fury is also good news for Usyk. He knows what he has to do...Fury has options and his fight plan needs to be executed to a T.

    Fury's ability to have success in every approach he wants to take is just as much a burden. It's a hard choice. Hopefully Usyk drops him in round 1 then it's easy. Midget crushing time.
