    Tyson Fury has been told he faces an £8 million bill if he delays his undisputed showdown with Usyk again.
    The gypsy kings clash with the Ukrainian has been rescheduled for May 18 in Riyadh after the Brit postponed the February 17th date due to a cut.
    Saudi boxing boss Turki Alalshikh confirmed the new date last night, and then handed out a warning about further pullouts.
    He said there will be £8 million to be paid if someone escapes from the fight, from their own money.
    If Tyson is scared, I will call for any fighter Usyk wants, if Usyk is scared I will call for Anthony Joshua v Fury, but I will guarantee a big fight on that date.

    Interesting.

    Is that legal? I know it's a strange part of the world but it's not totally lawless.

    You can put anything in a contract... whatever people might think of the Saudis, they have expensive lawyers!

    Why didn’t they make him fight before Christmas? Wasn’t that signed? Was there a reason? Everyone just accepted the fight wasn’t happening because Fury was made a show of by MMA man and never spoke about it. Did anyone give reasons?

    I’m no lawyer but it seems like it would be hard to enforce if they could prove they’re not fit to fight because of an injury.

    As if he'll be liable to pay that.

    What are they going to do if he doesn't? Stone him to death in the town square.

    Not that I'm arsed either way, Fury needs to retire and stop pissing Usyk about

    They shouldve done this the first time if they’re going to do it, what if usyk gets cut or injured? He gets a huge fine and fury didn’t? The way Turki was sat defending Fury made me think usyk might need a ko in this fight

    At least for Fury he's got a ready made excuse now if he loses. He was injured/having a mental health crisis but the evil Saudis made him fight anyway. He's the victim, the gap toothed little middle weight took advantage of him, no man born of his mother can legitimately beat the Gypsy King real fighting man etc etc.

    Much like with the Conor Benn saga, you can usually predict what these bullsh*tters will come out with.

    They think they're powerful because the English became weak and gave them back Arabia. They can't actually defend themselves from any powerful population that decides to conquer them.

    Any State run by people who believe in murdering people by beheading and chopping off limbs is barely civilised in my opinion.

    The Saudi's don't care about human rights so I doubt they will lose any sleep over plundering Fury's bank account for £8m.

    My best guess is that Turki has suddenly been questioned and put under pressure by the powers that be over there, and not necessarily in a good way.

    More in a "you spent all that money on this, only to leave us looking ridiculous and without a marquee event? Sort it out or we'll replace you" kind of way.

    This is a good way of transferring the attention away from him and onto the fighters.
