It can't be confirmed until the winner of Fury-Usyk chooses not to defend against the mandatory challenger.
That wasn't much. Many think Chisora was hard done by in the first fight with Parker (I don't, though). Controversial decisions will happen now and then. And the home fighter will most often have an advantage, no matter the nationality.
That was a crazy flight for cleverly to take as I think he took it as a voluntary. I think it was Terry O'Connor who carried him back to the corner. Dodgy as hell. Just like his score cards now as a judge.
The winner and loser of the first Undisputed fight between Fury and Usyk should keep quiet about if they are going to do an immediate rematch or not,let the IBF sit and wait about as long as possible until both fighters announce themselves what is happening next instead of the IBF sitting there knowing that there going to strip the winner asap. All these years later since Lewis was the last Undisputed Heavyweight Champion and a sanctioning body despite taking its sanctioning fees are sitting there just waiting to strip the Undisputed Champion as soon as the opportunity arises. Yet they never stripped Ruiz when he beat Joshua with Pulev sitting waiting since 2018 as IBF mandatory !!!
The plan is: Fury invents a new injury and withdraws from fighting Usyk on May 18th. Usyk fights Hrgovic instead, for IBF title. Fury fights AJ in September. Usyk ages further, loses his style and gets KOed by Fury/AJ in 2025.
Hometown advantage is a thing no matter your nationality. Chisora was on the other hand robbed against Helenius according to many. So there's not much of a trend here.
you do realize that they all ducked him previously before the Zhang fight, hell its is how Zhang got the fight why should he waste his time trying to set up fights with fighters who refused to fight him exactly?
Dude you obviously have a problem with understanding that they all DUCKED him when offered a fight to become the IBF mandatory and that was before the Saudis became involved seriously in boxing did you just start paying attention now?
