    Well he had to rematch Joshua. He was willing to fight Fury within 6 months of that. It was Fury who delayed the fight. Usyk should be more active but at least he was looking for the top guy to fight. And he did beat a legit top 10 contender in Dubois. Usyk was being held up.

    nope, Dubois is not top 10 and he had very easy fights, before he could fight for the tittle. And we are talking about activity, not the names for this moment.

    I don't care about Fury or Usyk. I just want to see active champions and everyone to fight each other, different styles.

    War Fury you now know what Usyk is all about you've done 12 rounds with the middleweight. Now do the business and show the world you're the real deal and that Usyk is a blown-up cruiserweight who does not belong in the heavyweight division.

    Also I'd like to give a big shout out to Saudi Arabia for making the big fights happen. No longer is there squabbling over nonsense and egos getting in the way of the big fights happening. We as boxing fans are finally getting the fights we want to see and for that everyone involved in the sport wins.

    At their age and both with a history of injuries, I’ll be surprised if this happens this year

    Excellent news.

    It's gonna be fascinating to see, and imo is no foregone conclusion that Usyk will win again.

    I hope John Fury is locked in a ****ing box for the duration.

    Seems like it’s still to be negotiated according to the Usyk camp. They are aligned to 21 December subject to terms being agreed.

    Maybe he’s following the American idea of still referring to former presidents by their title. Once a champion always a champion. Granted it causes some confusion in this case.

    It's a good rematch don't get me wrong but I am bit tired with the fact that Usyk has to keep rematching against fighters he already beat clearly.

    I'd of rather of seen Fury vs Joshua in UK and Usyk fighting Parker.

    So the correct reference would be former champion Tyson Fury. Champion is the incorrect title to adopt in this announcement imo.

    I can accept former champion though :bump:D
