I haven’t really been following the negotiations, but Fury just doesn’t seem like the type that would duck anyone.
The way he was talking about the man of Christ, Gypsy King and true fighting man, Usyk, was disgusting. Ugly, gap toothed ******* etc.
No, it's boxing. There's been worse, and there will be worse. I've always taken Fury with a grain of salt and just enjoyed the sport. He's made me a few quid in that process too. Its just so funny how some people have so much hate for him, makes me chuckle. He's the pantomine villain of the heavyweight division, and he'll make millions more by playing the role. IMO greed ruined the undisputed fight for this month, but I see it happening nearer winter. Fury always wanted that Saudi money, hence the silly 70/30 social media offers. And I think behind the scenes Usyk did too, that's why he walked away. I'm lucky enough to like both Fury and Usyk, I fancy Fury to win when they meet but I wouldnt be dissapointed if he lost at all. Either way it will be a great fight between the two clear best in the division.
Yes, I was a fan of the guy since his comeback. Rooted for him and thought him bringing awereness to mental health struggles and addiction was admirable. I was happy to see him beat up Wilder the second time and officially be champ. After that it changed. I was worried for the guy since he seemed to relapse into cocaine addiction and his past annoying antics rather than the more mature person I thought he became. In the period post Wilder 3 till now he has completely lost me as a fan to the point I think his whole mental health thing was a con and he is a coward for holding the belt hostage and ducking Usyk. Fury has everything had he fought AJ in december and Usyk by now. Then a rematch or final farewell fight and he would have been fondly remembered and praised even if he lost. He bottled it and is now viewed as a fraud and a clown again by the public. Shame
Usyk will be too tied by mandatories to fight Fury anytime soon where it will still have meaning. It will be a Floyd vs Pac at best if it does happen at all
Personally, I disagree. Too much money and too late in their careers. Arums recently said the Saudis have offered a ridiculous ammount of money to host the fight in Nov/Dec. Neither fighter is going to want to miss that train. I see Usyk fighting Dubois, Fury fighting someone (god knows who at this point). Then its upto the orgs if they want in on the big money fight or if they want to strip. I'm an optimist so, wishful thinking perhaps. But whatever happens, it's going to be an interesting few months.
I was a massive fan. I despise him now. This is thanks to how he treated Usyk (as a person) and the situation with Usyk generally. He has tarnished his own legacy. In my books, Usyk has won this by TKO 1 already. Fury may apply for a rematch.
Yes I’m a Fury fan but this Usyk thing seemed to throw a lot of crap his way saying ducking,scared,etc etc,which had me thinking,however Arum was on a YouTube clip other day saying that the money the Saudis have offered is significantly more than a UK Stadium fight and they will be fighting later in the year. So wait I will .
He's gone from being the most interesting guy in boxing to a world class bore. I blame his advisors really. Having an imbecile like John Fury in your ear won't help at all.
