    Hoping Fury meant it more from a, "I lost and the other guy has the belts, but Ive still got something far more important and thats family." Unfortunately it came off like, "I lost and other guy has the belts but his Dad is dead and mine isnt, so who really lost?"

    Doubt Usyk blew his daddy like Fury does his.

    I'm not convinced... If it happens, it happens - let's see.

    This is absolute best-case for Fury, though I don't think three fights in a year is something he'll even consider - besides, if extra recovery is needed, it'll take longer... If he loses, it falls apart completely.

    Beyond that - I don't see Kabayel passing over his mandatory against Usyk to fight Fury instead.

    Generally speaking if Turki wants, he gets. Usyk won't get a bigger money fight than Fury imo, and Kabayel would absolutely risk his mando if enough money was pushed his way.

    As for three fights for Fury, it's not impossible. Makh is gonna be a sparring session, I doubt he has too much trouble against Wardley or Dubios but Kabayel may be a banana peel due to his vicious body work.

    I for one hope it happens. They're all solid fights.

    Generally, but not necessarily always.

    I'm not sure Fury getting a third beating is worth as much as we might think, but I guess if Turki wants it... Having to pay Kabayel big AND Usyk big is a tougher sell.

    It depends what shape Fury's in and what he's got left - the idea he fights 3 pretty big punchers in a year and comes out without injuries seems a little fanciful to me, whether he comes through unbeaten is a more open question in terms of what he's got left (and just how high Kabayel's ceiling actually is!).

    It'd be great if he's made to take 2 interesting fights in a year...

    ... Usyk annihilating him a third time isn't that interesting, but if it's part of the package, there are worse things that could happen.

    Did you just say Fury might actually have 3 fights in one year?

    I can see Fury fighting winner of Dubois/Wardley but 3 fights seems a huge stretch unless he fancies a go at beating Jake Paul up.

    The world will be a better place when Fury's dad kicks the bucket.
