FURY CHISORA III CONFIRMED

"He ducked an opportunity to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion"

Which he may revisit at a later date. And aside from it not erasing Fury's other accomplishments, it's beside the point.

By the standard of the idiot I was debating with, Fury has little or no chance vs Usyk, so he's not "ducking an opportunity to become undisputed champion" if that guy is correct. If anything he's ducking a bad loss, which would be "good career management".

"a so-called "middleweight"."

It's called trash talk.

 

None of that disputes what I said. Trash talk or not, he ducked Usyk to fight a man who's never boxed before. It's an insult to the sport Fury is supposed to be a world champion, he's expected to act like one.

 

No one forced Usyk to spend the first 5.5 years of his pro career (which he started late anyway due to his extensive amateur career) at cruiser.

Perhaps Mayweather was a disgrace to boxing, fighting Pacquiao over 5 years and 9 fights after it was first possible. The earliest Fury could fight Usyk was 2023 and we're not even out of the year yet.

 

None of that is relevant. Usyk ACCEPTED Fury's OFFER of 70/30. Fury ducked. It's that simple.

 

"Usyk ACCEPTED Fury's OFFER of 70/30"

Only on the condition that Usyk got 70-30 in the rematch (never happening and Fury may not have even wanted a rematch) and that Fury donated £1 million to Ukraine (stupid, never happening).

 

It happened 8 months ago. I would hope they have confirmed it by now.

 

You're missing the key point of the rematch being that Usyk would have to win. He doesn't get 70/30 for losing. Fury chickened out and now he's fighting a complete non-boxer. Usyk is at least facing a mandatory.

In addition, $1m to Ukraine is peanuts compared to Fury getting 70%. You're just making silly excuses for your boy.

 

If Usyk had won the first fight, 70-30 would have given him most of the pot for the two fights because the rematch would have been considerably more lucrative. Never going to happen! If the fight gets made, Fury will be guaranteed most of the money, win, lose or draw. Fury is the far bigger commercial entity, hence Usyk is getting less than £5 million to fight Dubois, while Fury's getting 10's of millions to fight a non-boxer in Ngannou (who Joshua, Wilder, Whyte and Chisora had all talked about fighting).

This is assuming Fury even wants a rematch, perhaps that's a team Usyk demand. Krassyuk said that if there's no rematch it has to be a 50-50 split. They weren't bending over backwards to make the fight as you're claiming. Neither is Fury but he probably has better options than fighting Dubois and Hrgovic for relative peanuts.

£1 million to Ukraine isn't just about the money, which Fury obviously doesn't want to sacrifice anyway. He surely doesn't want to get involved in the politics of the conflict by funding the war (which he likely doesn't believe in) and make himself a state enemy of Russia in the process.

 

Nonsense!
