It's mainly on Chris Andre's authority, he believes that undisputed will be in the summer. This is apparently consistent with historical mega money fights: [url]https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/what-are-the-biggest-money-boxing-fights-in-history/1jevis9ex71na1xj24d5xgzzyz[/url]
Yes I see the patterns but they all featured a American - can fury even go the US with Kinahan thing? If the choice is UK or Saudi I think the fight makes more in Saudi. I rather it was in UK, so I could actually go. Although you can have fights in Saudi in summer (AJ-Usyk) they have to be indoors. Ideally you have in the winter as this opens up more options. Obviously, I have no idea what will happen.
This is where the WBC should be stepping in and not sanctioning this as a valid defence. Chisora is way past it and been recycled way too many times. A valid threat and a valid challenger should be mandated and if Fury doesn’t agree to it then he should be stripped. The reason why we get the same no hopers recycled endlessly is because of a lack of backbone by the sanctioning bodies.
Fury recently took care of his mandatory so I don't think he's getting stripped any time soon. Chisora will be slotted into the WBC top 15 if this goes ahead and even at this stage he's far from the weakest defence we've seen. Granted, there is zero intrigue in a Fury-Chisora trilogy fight for hardcore boxing fans. Fury could fight 22-0 Chisora-conqueror Kabayel if he wanted to though and he'd be a legitimate top 15 challenger.
This is exactly how I see it. In all honesty though I think he should be able to find someone else that's an 'easy touch' fight that he hasn't already beaten twice. I'm a Fury fan....but find as time goes he does more and more that I can't excuse.
A combination of factors, but most simply, it’s a low risk, high reward fight for Fury. Chisora is a bigger name among casuals than someone like Joyce but a much, much easier fight. Also Fury will get to say to Usyk, “you went 12 hard rounds with Chisora, I utterly destroyed him 3 times in 3 different ways”
Don't know, don't care. Maybe he can hire him as some sort of advisor. Between the two of them they could possibly scrape together half a brain.
Avoid Usyk for sure or at least try to age him plus why/how he can fight Chisora when he is not top 15 in WBC ? Anyway it's really bad look for him
In case AJ loses and he gets to duck Usyk. Toying with the guy thats tailormade and his easiest opponent according to him while Usyk had a tougher win. Getting to age the mover Usyk who puts the fear of exposing him and ending the hype train. Fury knows he struggled badly with cunninghams speed and couldnt land a glove on him. Thats why is behaving so cowardly when it comes to Usyk and its why he is lookibg for a soft touch to tie himself up. If it goes like that its one of the most blatant ducks of all time.
"Fury knows he struggled badly with cunninghams speed and couldnt land a glove on him." You discredited yourself as ignorant or deceitful. Fury clearly outboxed Cunningham in round 1 from range, he was landing plenty of leather from the opening bell.
There is only one reason - great risk/reward ratio. Zero risk and big reward (money) It looks bad, but it's nothing new - Lennox Lewis did exactly the same thing trying to pursue rematch with totally shot Mike Tyson, whom he has beaten easily. The rematch had about as much sense as, say, the rematch with Phil Jackson, but Lennox still pushed for it really hard [url]http://www.espn.com/boxing/news/2003/0509/1551732.html[/url]
You only have to look at some of the crap that’s challenged for the wbc over the last 7 years to know that won’t be a problem.
Like @senpai said, Chisora isn’t top 15 with the WBC so surely only a non title fight or exhibition would tick the box. If he likes rematches so match, you have Wallin at 9 with the WBC with the benefit of being a southpaw warm up ahead of an Usyk fight.
AJ said he wants to fight December win or lose. Fury wants an opponent arrange soon so he can avoid a call out or another offer. There a number of fighter more deserving of a title shot than Chisora.
