    This is from Hearn, as Fury already ducked Usyk for the Usyk fight.

    What do you think of that fight, and who wins?

    Hrgovic is a great opponent and will be tough ask for anyone.

    Hrgovic is very underrated and people have no faith in him, the fearless Usyk should accept that fight and then what will be will be...

    Fair play. If Fury is going duck and fight yet another bum may as well get a hungry young fighter in there.

    I think Usyk has no choice really. He has to fight Dubois, then it's Hrgovic and then Joyce/Zhang.
    He can get an exception only for an Undisputed, otherwise he have to vacate.

    I think this is what Fury is wanting, to put Usyk through HELL, age him out as well, and then maybe try a set a fight, when Usyk have fought a few more very hard battles. And Fury in that time will fight on misfits ....

    In my book Usyk should fight his mandatory in Dubois, Hrgovic and Zhang/Joyce and just retire. And f**** Fury with the label as the biggest duck in Boxing History.

    I hope Hrgovic can have warm up fight in the summer against Wallin

    That is what Usyk has to go through when he pretends to become a heavyweight legend - that doesn't happen with Chazz, Chisora, one good boxer as AJ and eventually Fury, who Usyk fans consider not so great, but will see Usyk as a great heavy if he beats him - broken fanbase logic. On the other hand, going against your mandatory is a normal thing to do, plus Hrgovic seems to be a prospect - this fight will give him the chance to prove it even if he loses (depending on how he loses). But in any way, the Croatian will give him a good fight, better than the glass chin chicken heart AJ. I even think Dubois will do better than AJ as well.

    What will happen with the Saudi event - we are about to see it because it might be delayed by the Saudis. As for the last December, it was the "injured family man" who didn't make it, the one who pulled out of the chance of facing supposedly non-training Fury.

    You cannot pull of a fight you have not agreed being in.
    But explain us all, when did Fury via his usual Twitter Challenge, comes and challenge Usyk to a December fight ?

    I will make it easy out for you, as you have a hard time this days, and are hiding pretty well, when the right question are being presented to you.

    Usyk gave the interview in his home country saying he is taking the year off, and the Undisputed would happen next year. Usyk said he was away from his family for 6 months, cause the fight with AJ get postponed a bit, and he was in a camp for almost 6 months, and he needs a rest and to heal some injuries/pains.

    And when Fury see this, he comes out on Twitter challenge Usyk on a short notice for December fight, when Usyk just had a 12 rounder against AJ.

    And we see what happen then, Fury of course fought the all mighty Chisora.

    And explain us exactly, this tweets ?

    Didn't you use this excuse back there, where Fury never wanted any part of AJ, but using his name as cloud, to facing Chisora. Just like he is doing now facing Nganu ?

    But Fury didn't want to fight on December 17th, because he is fighting Usyk in February/March.

    Also explain us why Fury ducked Usyk, when there was agreement for step aside, and the money was going to be paid by the Saudi?
    Explain us why Fury ducked Usyk early this year, with a record offer from the Saudi, that Fury rejected, and Usyk agreed the deal with the Saudi ???
    Explain us why Fury ducked the Wembley fight, outpricing himself and changed all of the goalposts, when his own manager previously claimed that the fight should be 50-50 ?

    Also explain us why was Fury not fighting for the Wembley fight at all, and he and his team lied about it, and his own trainer exposed him so badly, that John Fury wanted Sugar Hill sacked after that ????!!!

    Easy fight for Usyk. Hrgovic is to slow and stationary for a master boxer like Usyk.

    Usyk should just retire this year. Fury is scared of him and there is not much left to fight.

    Many say that Usyk would win easily, then there should be no excuse for Usyk not to fight Hrgovic, it's better to earn less money than none...

    Eddie Hearn has continually put the horse in front of the cart with this Saudi-in-December thing.

    Hearn has been talking about AJ-Wilder in Saudi-in-December for weeks and weeks despite there being no confirmation from the Saudis, let alone any paperwork and now another case of Eddie Hearn said with Usyk -Hrgovic?

    I'm saving the balloons and streamers until the invitations are issued.

    Who knows what to believe regarding this Super Event in Saudi,if it happens it happens and if Fury is not involved it’s certainly a bad look for him. I will say that there has to be something going on behind the scenes as the current Heavyweight division is without a doubt almost at a standstill and in its current state it’s a complete joke ! It’s like this big proposed event has all the fighters tied up and not prepared to sign upto anything as there all trying to get a piece of the big Saudi money .

    I think Usyk is gonna fight Ruiz in Dec

    Hrgovic should fight Bakole, Wallin or Gassiev, these fighrs are more realistic

    The only exception Usyk can get for not fighting his mandatory, which are already set is Undisputed. Otherwise he would be stripped.

    This ain't WBC joke belt at the end of the day.

    Agreed, Ruiz still brings more money and you have to be realistic Bakole and Wallin are not too demanding and there should be no problem to arrange one of those two fights...
