    Dillian Whyte is conning the public. Mr. "Nobody wants to fight me" has now ducked three different champions and two world title eliminators simply for money reasons (outrageous ones).

    Bring on Dave Allen at O2 (on PPV).

    We’ll see if he fights Usyk then. He’ll no doubt squirm out of it.

    But Fury fighting Helenius isn’t the best fighting the best. Not rocket science.

    And what's your excuse for Tyson fighting Helenius, providing it goes through?

    Nor is Fury v Whyte, to be fair. It's the best fighting mediocre.

    Whyte is acceptable as a stay-busy fight though, whereas Helenius is unacceptable.

    I'd rather see Fury v Ruiz in March than wait for Whyte to go through legal channels to force the fight on his terms or find agreement, putting it back until May or June or whatever, the way things are heading.

    On the face of it, it does at least look like Fury wants to get active, while it's hard to tell with Whyte now.

    But what we'll probably get is a wait until July for Fury v Helenius. :lol:

    My excuse-making for the Gypsy King is trumped by my support for Sugar Robert Helenius and I would be very happy if SRH got his shot at the big stage and I really hope it happens.

    So if Tyson can’t fight Usyk or AJ who would people have him fight then? Is Joyce really more deserving of it than Whyte? No, not in my opinion. You can’t just say oh Fury beats Whyte easily it’s a pointless fight boxing doesn’t work like that lol. The reality is Fury beats everyone easily (maybe Usyk the exception) so what should he do then just retire? Maybe he should if he can’t get himself up for a mandatory defence. Because really there isn’t that much more to offer than Whyte in the division which shows its lack of depth really. If it’s 80/20 with no room for manoeuvre from team Fury then the fight isn’t getting made. They need to meet in the middle somewhere.

    Fair point. Helenius is garbage, he’s been knocked out by Washington and Duhaupas ffs.

    There are a number of challengers who would be acceptable.
    Whyte, Parker, Ruiz, Joyce, Wallin, Kabayel, Sanchez, Hunter, Hrgovic. Maybe one or two others.

    ReMatchroom have caused all this nonsense - these rematch clauses should be banned.

    The only Heavyweight fight people want to see next is Fury v Usyk to crown the first Undisputed World Heavyweight Champion since the introduction of all 4 belts.

    If Joshua won his fight in the ring, he and Fury would have had this fight next for all belts and it is simply disgraceful that fans are being deprived of this fight. Fury and Usyk done the business in the ring so deserve this opportunity!!!!

    Tony Dosh PPV loses to Usyk again and his CV is being thrown in the @Mitch87 fire to be cremated.

    A sensible Tony Dosh PPV would allow Usyk v Fury to proceed next with a contractual guarantee to fight the winner again for the Undisputed Title. He could then fit in a fight with a non elite opponent such as Pudding Whyte to regain some confidence while also lining his pockets while watching Usyk v Fury.

    A sensible man would weigh up the risks and see that Usyk is a serious test for any elite Heavyweight never mind a fringe pudding. Should there be a war with Fury that sticks serious mileage on both clocks, then Tony Dosh PPV has a much better chance of beating either.

    DAZN PPV Loot is the game, depriving the fans is so lame.

    This would have been the ideal and logical course of action.
    Everybody would win under that arrangement.

    That’s called common sense mate. So highly unlikely to happen.
