    Warren said so? Well thats not much then, it might be another trick

    But at least its movement regarding the fight

    Truth is Fury has to agree agree to fighting Usyk, the rest is lined up for quite some time.

    News like this feels like they are starting a narrative to save face

    Get ready for an official announcement in the next couple of weeks. I'd be surprised if it ends up being March at this stage. No way it's gonna be the 4th.

    Feels like this will drag on or that Fury will get cold feet and fight another B level opponent.

    Usyk will get a larger share of the purse than he did against Joshua. He is better known and Fury draws less PPVs than AJ, not to mention the three belts.

    Usyk will easily get 40% of the guaranteed amount.

    Then you got this moron Collins writing articles on the main page sayin Fury was giving Joshua deadlines because he wasn't confident about winning that fight...what the **** ever lol. This Michael Collins guy and also James Slater....wtf are they on. TDKSAB. Every article from them is biased garbage.

    It's a brainlet take.

    I said at the time Joshua didn't fancy it and him and Hearn have admitted it since.

    I'll see you and raise you, I think it will be Fury vs David Allen or Fury vs Seferi 2.

    That goes without saying,Usyk is no longer tied in to the heavily favoured Joshua Re Matchroom contract so hopefully now gets a far higher percentage that he deserves . 50/50 being fair to both Fury and Usyk and more chance of the Undisputed fight happening if split down the middle. Hopefully we hear good news soon enough .

    The West never gives The East a fair share.

    Probably gave Usyk 10 weeks notice like they did AJ, hoping to get the Ukrainian overtrained.

    Usyk is the one who wants the date in early March...Fury wanted to fight in December

    Contract got sent out early as possible, they could delay but again that's down to Usyk. Fury only needs an 8 week camp.

    The problem they have is the period between fight contracts and venue approval should be used for announcements and promotion. Right now they should delay into middle late March....Usyk won't complain.

    Neither Fury or Usyk need or want long camps...they are old injury prone pensioners.
