I dont think it's a self preservation type fear. Usyk isnt going to in there and brutalize Fury. But I do think Fury is afraid of getting embarrassed. Let's just be honest. Does Fury really have the gas tank, speed and coordination to handle a Southpaw like Usyk? Remember this is a man who landed a flush uppercut on himself. Hes afraid to look slow, awkward, tired and uncomfortable in the ring. He does not want it. Hes never wanted it. I respect Furys size and technical skill. But who has he really beaten? Deontay Wilder and an old Wlad? He wants no parts of a guy with the skills, speed and tank of Usyk.
This kind of threads makes boxing better. Fury is just a coward if his not fighting Usyk, does not matter if he wins or not. Either vacate that belt or fight Usyk.
I just think for a few years it was Fury, Wilder, Joshua. Fury wanted to beat the other two then retire. Now there's Usyk. But Fury realizes that even if he beats Joshua then Usyk, people will say in order to TRULY be the best, he needs to fight Joyce. Then they'll call for Ruiz or Dubois etc
Aren't you the same guy who said Whyte was gonna chin Fury? But now that Fury has beaten Whyte, Whyte is a nobody all of a sudden. Funny how that works.
Nope, I said it would be hilarious is Whyte chins Fury. And yes if that had happened that would have been hilarious.
Who has Fury beaten? Why do all of the Fury stans go into hiding when somebody dares to ask that quesiton?
You before the Whyte fight: "Fury is an idiot and everything you said is irrelevant cuz Fury is getting chinned tonight." "I will cry tears of joy when Whyte chins Fury."
So before the fight Whyte was a good fighter who was going to chin Fury, but after Fury beat him he became a nobody. "Who has he really beaten? Deontay Wilder and an old Wlad?"
