How in the **** is he ducking? So the man can't get a little rest? He said the fight should happen next year, he want to fight Fury, how is he ducking?
And of course Fury and his team want to fight Usyk as soon as possible and not let him recover properly, they think that gives them the advantage. Good thing Usyk isn't falling for it.
"Usyk. Middleweight. You say you want the WBC. And it's held by gypsies. It is held by gypsies. It's held by the Gypsy King. And it's held tightly. Grasped tight! And all road leads to a seven-foot bear muff that will absolutely destroy you, middleweight. Middleweight! You will get smashed to bits. You say you wanted to fight me after you beat the bodybuilder. Called me out on television and now you're being a little ***** ***** boy. Running. Hiding. Saying you've got injuries. You ain't got no injuries. You had a sparring contest. Get out and fight in December. You let your mouth go. Now let's back it up. See if you can back it up, Middleweight. Doesn't matter if it's December, or April, or August next year ... the outcome will be the same. I will obliterate ya. I'm a seven-foot, 20-stone bear muff. And I will destroy you, middleweight. Find your balls. Come see me. *****!"
Boxers fight in May and September all the time (like the guy in your profile photo). Fighting in August and December is the same distance between fights.
Usyk has not had a normal year though so you can't compare him to other fighters and fights they've taken after a short break. The big cokehead dosser took 6 months and 14 days in-between his last 2 fights so him and his fans need to STFU.
Fury fought twice in between the two Usyk-Joshua fights. He's already in the gym training and is ready to go later this year. Usyk has fought once a year for the last four years. He's a once-a-year boxer now. But he has three mandatories due next year.
So mind games don't exist in boxing? GTFOH. Yes there's building a fight but these two don't like each other clearly and both are trying to get underneath the others skin.
Usyk isn't ducking anyone, that's absurd. The fight will not happen this year, it's crazy to think otherwise. Early next year seems a sensible choice and I'm sure these two will agree terms and make it happen.
Usyk deserves a break, as previously said, he’s hardly had a ‘normal’ year. Fury isn’t exactly the ‘fighting man’ he claims to be…….. 8 fights since beating Klitschko. TF should have a tune up a.s.a.p. Then fight Usyk. It will happen within 6 months.
