    Every fighter who refuses to fight should be fined and stripped of his belts, that's the only way something would change...

    Fury is a coward and a fraud for ducking Usyk. Plain and simple.

    Fury wants money that's not possible to get if the fight is in the UK. Too bad the Saudis don't give a **** about the Gypsy Duck.

    Let Usyk dismantle a few more good heavyweight names. Let him age. Then take your chance. What's not to like.

    If it doesn't happen this year, I hope it doesn't happen at all. Shame on all the Brits who would turn their back on their greatest champion—Lennox the Lion Lewis—in favour of cocaine bear Tyson Fumbles.

    Fury is not worthy to tie Lewis' shoelaces. Lewis literally cleaned out one of the toughest HW divisions ever. The only notable name he didn't fight was Bowe - and only because Bowe ducked him. Other than that, Lewis' resume is like a "who's who" of HW boxing of the nineties. What a champion he was

    Interestingly enough, Boxing News has reported that both Usyk and Fury have upped their asks for % if the fight is to be in London. So they are basically saying, I think, that 50-50 was never a thing in Saudi, though I don't know that is what they meant for sure, they might be saying that Usyk started asking for more than 50% (Can't believe that interpretation though).

    For sure, the desperation on both ends to 100% pin the fight's failure to one man or the other is typical of boxing, typical of BN24 and actually a symptom of the sickness. One fighter or the other being able to establish themselves as the wronged party in negotiations makes those negotiations harder to fulfill.
