    It goes without saying since he has stymied the division by avoiding Usyk out of pure fear. If he is so afraid of Usyk then he should just give up the belts and retire.

    Remind me why Wlad fought AJ 2 years after the Fury loss. Oh! It just came to me, Wlad was waiting on a rematch with Fury, but Fury ducked. As far as Usyk goes, let's hope this big fight in SA you've been clinging to pans out at years end. If not, Fury has 2 of the biggest ducks since Donald and Daffy.

    If Prince Khalids plan truly is going ahead, then all the prior nonsense will be forgotten and we're all in for a treat. If it was all BS from the start, and Fury is just being a pansy, then he's lost me as a fan for sure.

    At this point though, I stick by my assessment that its just plain greed from all sides holding up the HW division at the moment. Dissapointing, but understandable with the Arab figures being thrown around.

    I just want to see something set in stone. Being left with the Zhang Joyce rematch, and Usyk having to defend his madatory against Dubois in Poland is super underwhelming.

    Fury has always been unpredictable and his career has been full of ups and downs. It almost as if he purposefully tries to sabotage his own career whenever he does something to further his career.

    Beats Wlad, goes on a religious rant and doesn't fight for 2.5 years while suspended for doping. Stuns everyone in a thrilling first fight with Wilder but instead of accepting the rematch that everyone wants, signs with ESPN to everyone's disappointment. Does eventually rematch Wilder and wins a stunning victory but then fails to unify with Joshua and looks awful in a 3rd fight with Wilder. Destroys Whyte in a dominant victory, pisses everyone off by fighting Chisora for a 3rd time.

    Now everyone hates him again, which he probably revels in and if anything will motivate him should he fight Usyk at the end of the year. If he beats Usyk we should fully expect Fury to again flip the script and do something that annoys the fans, because that seems to be his M.O.
