    "This is actually what’s next for Usyk. So what can I say? We have to comply with it. It’s probably not the worst fight for the UK. Dubois is English. (...) It’s something to be disclosed within the next couple of days. We are still expecting the official decision on Fury. Once we move on from Fury officially, the fight is off, then we start working on the mandatory."

    Fury ducking Usyk looks even worse than when Bowe ducked Lewis. The "middleweight midget" defeated the "seven feet Bear Moth" without throwing a single punch at him.

    Eh, wouldn't necessary label it a complete duck from team Fury. Usyk probably aren't telling the complete truth about the negotiations. Maybe they can make the fight in late Summer in Saudi Arabia, cause otherwise Usyk is filled with mandatory fights: Dubois, Hrgovic and Joyce.

    I love this type of Fury apologist backward logic.

    Usyk and his team have a reputation as being the most transparent, most honest, and easiest to deal with people in the whole of boxing (Joshua, Bellew, Hearn, Chisora, Arum, everyone confirmed it time and again to be the case) but suddenly they act out of character and "probably aren't telling the complete truth" conveniently when they are in a negotiation mess with the most controversial active HW with a long arse history of dicking around, dishonesty and controversy. Fury is the common denominator in the Price, Ustinov, Wlad rematch, unbeaten Whyte, unbeaten Joshua and now the Usyk fights falling through - but it's Usyk and his team who are "probably aren't completely" honest.

    Excellent.

    I have been a massive Fury fan but I honestly do not think he fancies his chances with Usyk.

    I don't see the point in fighting Dubois?
    >c-cuz he's a mando
    Clearly not what I'm going for. Maybe it's to build his profile in the UK some more? Or rather, build his profile with BT Sport?
    Even though Usyk is entering dangerous territory fighting all of these different styles in a weight class that isn't his own, with a style that doesn't age well, and during a climate where one loss can drastically affect a fighter's career... I reckon Usyk thinks he can blow out Dubois, Joyce and Hrgovic and keep putting pressure on the bald bellend
    So... what does Fury do now? Frank will want to throw Joyce against Usyk instead of doing Fury-Joyce I suppose. Wilder 4 garbage? I've heard Ngannou is fighting in July so wouldn't it be funny if that ends up as the Gypsy Clown? bwahahahaha

    Stop defending this BS Belly categorically does not and never has wanted this fight. I told you long ago I wouldn't be convinced he would fight Usyk until I saw him standing in the opposite corner of the ring to him and my suspicions were once again proven right. I told you he would put roadblocks in the way and try and wriggle out of it.

    Usyk and his team's track record is impeccable and there has never been any problems from their side getting fights made with any of his other opponents which is something not a single one of you can say about Belly and his team. Bellew says team Usyk are the easiest people in the world to work with. E-Hearn says the same.

    Krassyuk is right. They want Usyk to bend over backwards and spread his cheeks and let Belly violate him when he holds three belts. Is the former undisputed CW King. Is the current P4P#1. An Olympic gold, world amateur gold, and European gold medalist. And he's very well known and popular in the UK.

    Ring Magazine champion at CW and HW

    Ring Magazine Fighter of the Year (2018)
    ESPN Fighter of the Year (2018)
    Sports Illustrated Fighter of the Year (2018)
    CBS Fighter of the Year (2018)
    Boxing Writers Association of America Fighter of the Year (2018)
    Boxing News Fighter of the Year (2018)

    Stop acting like his commercial value hasn't really increased since beating AJ and annexing all his belts. Remember how team Belly were unsure if Belly could fill Wembley stadium against White going into that fight? But he did because his commercial value had increased after Baptism III.

    60/40 to the winner is very fair, especially given the huge physical advantages, age advantage, and the equally huge advantage Belly will have in his favour of fighting at home.

    How many more advantages do you want Usyk to concede to him? The fact he was going to be fighting Belly in the UK was a massive advantage for Belly.

    Belly told you himself he wanted nothing to do with Usyk and that even if he beat AJ and annexed all three of his belts off if him he wanted nothing to do with him.

    His body language has betrayed him whenever Usyk's name gets mentioned.

    He's never displayed any enthusiasm about sharing a ring with him but conversely his eyes light up when it comes to fighting The Dosser for a 4th time. A trilogy against Chisora or a curiosity fight against a MMA fighter who has a 0-0-0 boxing record.

    Usyk has turned him into a mute recluse all throughout these negotiations. Why? Because Belly does not want the fight and even a large percentage of his own fans have turned against Belly now for pulling all this BS. He's looking really bad here and that's the general consensus right now.

    Doesn't want to fight Usyk
    Doesn't want to fight AJ
    Can't fight Wilder a 4th time
    Can't fight Delboy a 4th time
    Can't fight Whyte a 2nd time
    Can only fight Ngannou once
    Won't fight potentially dangerous up-and-comers

    Unless Joyce somehow beats Usyk, Fury's going to be out in the cold soon. This isn't Money Mayweather at 147 dragging guys up or down. For a guy who gambled everything against a dominant Wlad or fought Wilder after losing weight, the man has completely lost his bottle

    That’s unfortunate. Neither side seemed to ever be bargaining in good faith. Just a complete waste of time.

    Just stop it, mate. Your attempts to paint Usyk just as guilty in this fight not happening as Fury are embarrassing.

    i dont get it either. how does one lend himself to such cuckery. at what point does an insecurity overtake dignity. when does one reach the point where they say, you know what, my word and self respect dont matter if people think my man fury is a pos. its more important that his reputation be defended, rather than mine.
    i just cant understand being so beta. especially over such a sorry example of a leader as fury is. a 7ft weak minded teen girl.
