    The most moral thing would be for Fury to leave the boxing scene, because he is slowing down the entire division, he is a bad person and a hypocrite and will probably continue to be a disgrace to the sport...

    "It's not happening in December with the injuries Tyson has picked up, it will be end of Jan if not, February" - Tyson's manager

    "I got a couple of lumps, but i'm fine. Other than the shot behind the ear he didn't hit me with much else" - Tyson

    "What cut? This little knick on me head? That's nothing..." - Tyson

    The whole Fury camp are deplorable and taking the **** out of the sport we love.

    **** the lot of them, get them out of the sport.

    If I were Usyk I'd be squeezing Fury's tit purple after all the BS I'd been put through.

    Fury was "ready to go now" just after their fight. I'm sure the 23rd won't be a problem :eusa_whistle:

    Christmas will be a major challenge for the February date. I can see Usyk doing his roadwork on the 25th while Fury is hogging his sixth portion of christmas pudding with extra brandy sauce

    Ngannou's skills are not within screaming distance of Usyk's but on the other hand Usyk is not a 260 lb block of granite. Fury will have at least some success with his clinching bullying tactics and everyone knows he will be trying to dig at Usyk's body at every opportunity. I'm not writing off Fury yet.

    Carlos Monzon was a bad person not Fury. If you rid the boxing world of disgraceful and hypocritical people you basically gut it.

    I'm pleased it's delayed. Much better that there's no excuses after the result, they have ample time now to prepare, or not, it's their choice.

    Have to say I'm actually kinda pleased the way things have gone with the Ngannou fight. Imo it makes the Usyk fight more interesting. Fury's gone with a hairs breadth of losing, and I'm fascinated to see if this gives him the motivation back that's been lacking. And this results in him producing his best against Usyk.
    Close fights are the ones that interest me the most.

    Possibly, but Fury's face looked genuinely embarrassed after being knocked down by a left hook from a MMA'er that looked like it had nothing on it

    I'm starting to think Fury has a bit of a chin problem ...

    I think Usyk was bluffing his keenness for Dec 23rd. I think he's hurt and Fury is out of shape.

    He loves the Klitschkos and pretends to love Corrie Sanders: a flabby heavyweight who obliterated Wlad in 205 seconds. It's also ironic as Wlad-conqueror green AJ lost via quitjob to the most obese contender in boxing history.

    Absolutely. How many times in recent years has a reigning heavyweight champion fought a tough fight and then defended his title only 2 months later?
