    Rare (welcome) radio silence from Fury on social media since the fight fell through.

    I suspect this’ll mean one of two things - either he retires (for the time being).. or he calls out Joshua after the Franklin fight. I’m fairly sure Joshua will call Fury out provided he wins at the weekend.

    I got a feeling this might happen. Fury is annoyed Usyk beat him. He wanted that payday badly. I don't think he gives a toss about belts or any of that stuff.

    I can't see why Sugar Hill lie about this. How would it benefit him?

    Boxercise Ben to return as coach?

    Also John comparing his son to Jesus, does that make him God?

    John Fury took all that time off social media to come out and blame his son's coach and his son's promoter? Tyson needs to cut his dad out of his life.

    The entire Fury clan (apart from Peter) are a cancer in Boxing & the sooner they're out of the sport the better

    They won't be missed

    Usyk fleeing to Poland is hardly a win.

    Peter's a hypocritical boring fsrt as well. He can fack off too. Always moaning about something or another whilst claiming to be the only real person in boxing.

    They're all insufferable apart from Tommy who you can clearly see is cut from a completely different cloth than the rest.

    It was Peter who denied Jesus, not Judas. I see Big John knows as much about the Bible as he does boxing.

    Rogan beat a prime, gold medal winning Audley Harrison who Fury blantantly ducked.

    Is he really though? We don't know because he goes out of his way to avoid the top 10 in the division but instead fights regional level fighters. Since beating Wlad a decade ago he's added Wilder and Whyte to his cv. That's absolutely shocking for a supposed head to head beast ATG. He's been in his prime years all this time too. Anybody who trys to say Fury's run as the champ has been the stuff of legends is a complete wanker to tell you truth.

    No nuance there by Big John as per. Sugar Hill isn't going to potentially jeopardise any negotiations before a fight is signed by talking about a possible camp for Fury.

    Reading between the lines, you could infer SH was growing a bit impatient at all the nonsense about the fight and was enjoying working in a more clear-cut situation (Okolie) rather than getting wrapped up in all the nonsense.

    I suspect he was, at the very least, uncomfortable with Fury's approach - even if most of it was for pantomime.

    Ye gods, what an uneducated take on Lewis. "Only won that because doctor stopped it" - sure, Vitali only looked like his face was put into a meat grinder. He needed over seventy stitches for three separate, deep cuts, and he was close to losing that eye (doctor's opinion). So yeah, that lucky Lewis, they should have continued the fight.

    "Would've lost otherwise" - you clearly haven't seen that fight, only read about it god knows where. Lewis hardly knew anything about Vitali, while Vitali, by his own admission, had been studying Lewis for years before the bout. Despite this, Lewis was figuring Vitali out as the match went along. The tide was turning by the fifth round, with Lewis starting to dominate. Tell me, my good man, how was Vitali supposed to win from that point on with practically one eye, bleeding profusely while being outworked and heavily outlanded by Lewis at that point? It was only going to get worse for Vitali from there. There's a general consensus about that stoppage saving his eyesight and his career, but sure, he would have won somehow, mate.
