    Fury was good friends with Chisora too. Fought 3 times. The 3rd time it was even justified by Fury fans on the logic that he was giving his friend a payday because Chisora needed the money.

    They are threats, which he has never liked facing.

    Whyte was clearly shot already, having recently been knocked unconscious by a sickly forty something Povetkin.

    The only possible reason he'd have to fight Chisora would be to easily ko him, like he did Dubois. No way Chisora deserves any title fight ever again.

    Nope. Fury fighting Nganou and Chisora were shameful imo.

    If this nonsense happens again then Kabayel vs Parker would steal the show as a pre-fight...

    That would (then) fit in with Fury's "defense" of the title against Chisor and Fury's longevity as a lineal champion in the fight with Ngannou.

    Too bad he's not supporting himself refusing to take his medicine. And we can see how his mental health is declining.

    Still, he was a Top 5 contender and Fury's last win over a ranked guy.

    Fury vs AJ or don't even come back Greedy Belly. Fury vs Kabayel would be dope too. But we will probably get the Pulev fight.

    I think Fury deals with DDD similar to Whyte/Chisora, he needs to fight AJ or get lost

    That's insane that the Ring magazine rank him #1 contender.
    His only win in the last 2 1/2 years was the Ngannou split decision.
    He perhaps deserves a place in the top 10 for his decent showings against Usyk, but definitely near the bottom of the top 10.

    Even historically he has 0 wins against any other contender on the list.

    There is ZERO reason for another Usyk vs Fury fight. None.

    Fury v Usyk 3 is actually a good and viable fight. Fury was competitive twice with Usyk.
    But Fury should have to beat a highly ranked contender first. Preferably Parker or Kabayel. That's fair.
