If Fury doesn't get the Usyk fight, who do you think he will face? Fury is not interested in facing Parker or Kabayel, who are 2 highly rated HWs who he views as friends, seems to not be too interested in Joshua and I don't think will (only my worthless opinion) be interested in Dubois in that he gave me the impression he was inviting him to his gym after he just had the Usyk loss and has sparred him before, as well as I think being in the same stable. He has also said before about not facing foreign fighters who's names aren't known to the UK fans. So if it is not Usyk, which I don't think will have massive public interest, who will it likely be? Current Ring top 10 Champ Usyk 1. Fury 2. Dubois 3. Parker 4. Kabayel 5. Joshua 6. Hrgovic 7. Wardley 8. Zhang 9. Bakole 10. Ajagba With Fury at 1 and me thinking 2,3,4&5 are not likely Who do you think it may be?
he's already going to have a warm-up, that's been said i think by warren and others, can't remember who exactly but heard that a couple of times in the last week. He'll probably dig up Andy Ruiz or somebody like that.
Fury Kabayel will be the co-main for Usyk Parker at the end of this year (we wish) Fury, Kabayel and Parker won't fight because it's a net loss for their managment however king Turki's money can change that.
Kubrat Pulev for his WBA Regular belt is the only fight outside of the Usyk trilogy I see him coming back for Which is very sad
That was only rumoured because some dodgy russian money was floating around potentially, Fury scouted it out and backed off it seems. Only one money man people should be messing with and his name is King Turki.
I hope Usyk doesn't give it to him, we all know what would have happened if Fury scraped that first fight... the 2nd fight would never have happened.
Fury is in the weird position of being the clear second best (imo) who already lost to the clear best twice, and the clear best has all the belts. If I'm Fury and I don't want to fight AJ because reasons, I stay in shape and hope Usyk loses his next and doesn't take a rematch. Or hope Usyk gets stripped of a belt. Fury could still win a belt. He just needs to be able to fight someone not named Oleksander Usyk for a belt.
How do we know he is clear 2nd best? he hasn't fought any of the other big contenders, dodged them for years.
Fury has stalled the division enough its time for other more deserving fighters to get their shot. The last time Fury beat a ranked contender was in 2022 and that win hasn't aged well since Whyte has done nothing of note since.
Fury won't be facing Kabayel They are friends and won't be facing each other Don't think it was anything to do with money
I thought that was a fight Wardley would be looking at for some reason? Not sure why I thought that or maybe read it somewhere?
