    Fighters have a say in what they do, fans have a say in what they want, I don’t begrudge either party their wishes. As a fan you can withhold your subscription or ppv money :) and as a fighter they can fight who gives them the most money. It’s a tough and unforgiving sport. Ideally we get fights where both interests align, but everyday is not Christmas right?

    I mean yeah its a pain for us fans, but could any of us say that they would do different considering the amount of money involved?

    No, because we are human
    I'm loyal to my current job, however if I was offered a substantial raise to move on? Would be very difficult not to

    Why should Fury get a third shot? Unless he ko's a couple top guys, he most certainly doesn't deserve one. We all know he won't risk fighting anyone dangerous to earn a title shot.

    Tbf, the names Usyk was throwing out after the fight sounded like cash out fights, AJ, Fury and Chisora. Until his mate told him to say Joseph Parker as well.

    I'm happy for Usyk to rehash those old battles like Arkantos, but hopes he drops the titles if he does so the division can move on.

    As usual reality is the inverse of Johnny Nelson's opinion.

    Just wait.

    Did you hear Frank Warren? He's already pushing for it.

    It's gonna happen.

    Did you see Usyk face off with Jake Paul in the ring after? Parker was there too, did he do that with Parker?

    If Usyk goes down that route he better drop the titles.
