    Usyk beat Joshua when Fury retired and now Fury is afraid to fight Usyk.

    It is clear as daylight.

    Oleksandr Usyk is the true World Heavyweight Champion.

    This is equivalent to when Bowe threw his WBC belt in the trash

    This worse because Fury has ****ed the division around for close to a decade.

    At least had the common curtesy to give up a belt he had no intention of defending.

    Will say it again: Fury renounced any claim that he had to being champ when he fought Chisora a third time, never mind the Nganaou fiasco.

    Great responses everyone. Usyk is officially the man now.

    OK.
    And AJ beat who, so that a win over AJ would give someone the title of lineal HW champion?
    In that case no one mentions that Andy Ruiz (was) the lineal HW champion.
    You know the story "the man who beat the man".
