    So:
    1. Usyk holds 4 titles
    2. Fury holds one
    3. Fury offers a fight to Usyk four months after the latter's last fight because it was Usyk who called him
    4. Usyk denies and later insists on a not later than beginning of March 2023 fight
    5. Usyk gets mandated to defend one of the four titles
    6. It's Fury's fault

    Mhm, yeah, sounds credible.

    I’ve said for a long time now that Hearn will do everything and anything to stop the Undisputed fight between Usyk and Fury,however if it had been Joshua v Fury well that would be a different story. Hearn had no problems lobbying organisations to delay Joshua’s mandatory challengers. Hopefully the organisations can sit down and all agree that an Undisputed fight takes precedence over a mandatory challenger fight.

    nothing further, your honor.

    You would rely on fury to plan your future? ok, good for you. I wouldnt, and if ussyk is not idiot, he won't either.

    Those are the facts, but you're free to deny them and rely on the unprincipled federations while claiming you want an unification fight. You're now free to believe Usyk, his "recovery" and "not fighting around Easter" which he did three times already.

    The IBF know the moment Fury gets their garbage belt again it is getting yeeted into the bin and mocked on the world stage

    BELTS MEAN NOTHING

    NEVER HAVE DONE

    NEVER WILL DO

    This is why "undisputed" has NO VALUE. It's almost impossible to bring all the belts together...and even if they do they fracture straight away. The IBF stripped Fury after 2 weeks!

    Wilder & AJ will find belts regardless if they earn them or not. Boxing is corrupt.

    We the fans decide who is a legitimate champion. Buying a belt off Charles Martin does not make you a legit champion.

    Should Fury get the Undisputed fight and win hopefully he is above dumping any belts in bins,Boxing does not want or need to see a Bowe type affair all over again. Let’s not forget it was Hearn who started lobbying the IBF to strip Fury as soon as it was announced that he was going to rematch Klitschko,best thing Fury can do is keep mocking Hearn and beating his Matchroom fighters .

    It was Kathy Duva (Main Events) who lobbied the IBF on behalf of her boxer Glazkov, which resulted in Fury being stripped.

    It would be nice to have that fight.
    We saw how much Usyk is worth, let's see how much Filip Hrgović is worth?

    Hearn was also involved and waiting in the wings. Main events (Duva) lost the purse bid to Warriors Boxing, Martin won the fight in the third round when Glazkov injured his knee in a slip. Hearn then offered Martin over 18 times his previous best purse to come to England and defend his IBF belt against Joshua .

    Usyk has a new excuse to avoid Fury even longer

    But guess what...every delay only benefits Fury & Usyk is no chump.

    Time for Usyk to show belts don't mean crap. Time to drop the IBF belt. He should burn it with Fury.

    Will Fury retire again after his fight with Chisora?

    No him and usyk are going to clear the ring after fury beats Chisora

    pour petrol onto the IBF belts and burn them on the world stage

    Then have an armwrestle to determine who gets to ring walk first/second, Fury will pretend to lose because he's a good sportsman.

    The saudi's will then fly in on hoverboards with $100m cash and the fight will be announced.

    The winner of Fury Usyk will be undisputed. No matter how much Eddie Hearn or the IBF cries that they're not. Imaginary belts corrupt organisation.

    Fury's lineal title is the most valuable!

    They know that Hrgovic's bubble bursted against Zhang. He lost that fight. He is not marketable, not intresting as a person. Just an average sportsman. They want to make that fight because they know he will not generate money in future. Just using that last spark of hype before the fire extinguishes.

    If Fury, Wilder and Joshua retire, heavyweight will be dead. No matter who the champion is. Usyk can stay a bit intresting but not for the masses. And if he retires, heavyweight will be like during the Klitschko era, without the Klitschkos though.
