    Surely something less interesting has shown up sometime in your life?
    Have you ever watched the Fury-Klit fight?

    Yep, funny how most people are conveniently ignoring that Usyk was very happy to give into numerous B-side demands against Joshua, but is now unwilling to do the same against Fury (who has proven that he is now a bigger draw than Joshua having sold out 2 mega stadiums compared to Joshua’s failure to sell out the O2 Arena).

    Poll speaks value. Fury exposes himself to be a certified coward. Very dissapointing.

    Usyk is the most popular boxer on this forum. So I'm not sure that a poll on this forum necessarily proves anything.

    Seems like usyk has walked after tyson continues to disrespect him. The man's a 3 belt holding, former undisputed cw champ who's been treated like he's pianetta or schwarz. It appears 70/30 wasnt enough for tyson and he also wants to shaft him even further in the rematch split.

    Furys has come out of this looking an absoloute joke, he's done no matter who he fights and beats now he will go down in history as a coward. Let's face it he ducked the AJ fight as well.

    You might think him now holding 3 belts may have something to do with that.

    But isn't Team Usyk the one walking? After they "reportedly" agreed to terms less than a week ago? Didn't Usyk say he was fine with no rematch clause? And is that not the reason they are now walking, presumably to face Wilder?

    Sure but its the clearest duck since bowe vs lewis.
    Havent seen anything like this in years. As someone who been watching Fury since the start its extremely easy to tell he really doesnt want to fight Usyk.

    He just doesnt want to be blamed for it since he is very aware of his image and cares despite what he says. He's 100% at fault if it doesnt happen next.
    I hope it still somehow happens and he man's up.
    I will give him all praise then if he wins but at this point I consider him a coward for ducking Usyk.

    Thats no fighting man... and we get more boxing politics and still no undisputed champ since 20+ f'ing years.
    This with Spence vs Crawford debacle make boxing suck while it could easily be great.

    Haven't you just confirmed Usyk's track record of being flexible during negotiations? And that fight was made. Do you think you might have made a case for the view opposite to the one you hoped to promote?

    What a shame for boxing. I think the fight can take place this end of the year but in Saudi Arabia and not at Wembley unfortunately. Fury is going to have to do a lot to redeem himself.
