Fury has stated that if Hearn does not meet his demands he will vacate and not fight Whyte, he has said he may fight Parker or Ruiz instead! Counterpunch Boxing News This content is protected
I keep on sounding like a broken record. Fury isn't bothered about a fight with Whyte he will have big demands that he hopes Hearn can not match. He's interested in a Joshua fight and as I've explained several times that I'm not conviced he wants Usyk. It's not what fans want but it's how it's playing out. Tyson has outs that he has had from the start. In his head he has had all of the belts just not at the same time. So don't hold your breath on all the "I'll fight anyone and I'll fight 3 fights next year!" He won't.........
So If Fury ducks and vacates the WBC belt that would likely mean Whyte vs Wilder would be called however we all know Wilder would not want that fight. So in turn then it be Whyte vs Joyce - that's great fight.
Fury himself said under 2 weeks ago "I'd fight Dillian Whyte at the drop of a hat" and "when they make him a mandatory challenger, I will defend my belt and butcher him". Here's the timestamped latter quote. This content is protected Frank Warren, his UK promoter is saying the opposite, talking up the Whyte fight for Cardiff in the spring. All that's happening is Arum trying to position the next fight in the USA, and Warren trying to position it in the UK. Nothing of interest to see here.
This is why I like this guy. Hearn contracts with every fighter as he pleases and dominates the fighters. Fury is like no other. He might even vacate the belt genuinely. No one wants Whyte the bum.
Oh, thank God. I was worried at first skimming the titles that it said Fury was threatening to vaccinate but now I see it is so much less worrying than that.
Agreed. Although Fury talks a good fight I don't think he can get motivated for someone like Whyte who he views as an easy nights work. The Joshua fight is the biggest fight to make in the UK and would make some decent chedder for both and the fact he's confident he can beat AJ. I'm not completely convinced if he looks as bad as his last fight with Wilder. literally just scraping through whilst getting hit a lot.
F him Get Whyte vs Ruiz since Joyce and Wilder are injured. Whyte is interim guy and Ruiz is ranked #3
Lol fury is terrified of whytes hook, whytes hook when thrown properly is the most dangerous punch in boxing, fortunately for the rest of the heavyweights whyte has no idea how to throw it properly when he wants to lol
Lol yeah he fights Wlad in his backyard and then goes and does the same vs Wilder but he's terrified of Dillian ****ing Whyte.......
Fury wants a rematch clause and probably a 80-20 slip. Which if he doesn't get with Hearn, he will probably walk. Can't say I blame him. Hearn would be doing the same thing if it was AJ holding the belt. Standard negotiation tactic. You remember usyk Vs AJ? We will drop the belt or take our contract....
