    Well, I didn't think Fury had made ANYTHING clear.
    I assumed he was refering to the titles that were probably going to be stripped anyway. But I don't know.
    If he's not the champion, and IF he returns, it is very unlikely there will be a recognized champion when that happens.
    I can't see any of these current HWs establishing meaningful dominance in the near future. Or a unification or elimination series taking place. It's just not happening soon.
    We're entering a period of further and increasing title confusion.

    *** Heavyweight Champion Tyson Furyhas officially abdicated the heavyweight throne.

    “I won the titles in the ring and I believe that they should be lost in the ring,” he said in a statement Friday, “but I’m unable to defend at this time and I have taken the hard and emotional decision to now officially vacate…”

    Given his suspension by the British Boxing Board of Control, he is ineligible to enter the top-ten until he earns his way back in after the determined length of the suspension, as per the charter. We wish him the best, look forward to encouraging reports regarding his recovery, and expect that his eventual comeback will be the stuff of real drama.

    I swear this sport is going down the shitter. I don´t understand how this will keep on going. I know people that have no knowledge of boxing and they were getting hyped for the Joshua vs Klitschko fight. Instead we get this shithouse fight in some stadium in Germany. Wladimir must change his mind and just take a goddamn chance for once. He has the power and the experience to beat Joshua even though it will be hard.

    Take a chance "for once"?

    The guy has never taken a chance?

    So now the WBA has postponed the announcement that was supposed to be made today to deal with legal stuff having to do with Lucas Browne. The WBA will officially make an announcement tommorow afternoon pertaining to whether or not they will sanction the Joshua-Klitschko fight for the vacant belt.

    What's sad is a grown man dedicating his f**king whole life to keyboard bashing a boxer who's accomplished more than you'll ever know. "Disturbing"?? "Fanboi"?? LMAO! Dude... you're 6-7 years on this forum expressing your OBSESSION with Wladimir is disturbing to the the least.

    Let's say Fury is out for two years.

    If in the meantime we have:

    Wlad v Browne
    Povetkin v Stiverne
    Joshua v Haye
    Parker v Ruiz

    The division will be totally fractured. We need the winners to face each other. Get a unified champ who then takes on a rehabilitated Fury.

    We already have the WBC belt now held hostage in the USA, for Wilder who is fighting at pathetic levels and deliberately avoiding any top 10 HWs. The WBC will ensure it stays in the USA now.

    The same is happening with with AJ and the IBF belt, under the excuse that he is "learning".

    The division is fractured. And all that actually matters is the RING belt and who the MAN is- the clear NUMBER 1 TOP DOG.

    What will happen to that RING belt with FURY out is a question mark?

    The ring belt means nothing mate. Just the same as the other bs.

    Let's have it right, the top 5 right now are

    Wlad
    Povetkin
    Ortiz
    Joshua
    Wilder

    Until they fight each other we'll have no man of the division.

    He beat a legend. Suffered from depression and vacated his championship.

    If you think he has turned the division into dog poo what does that day about the man he de throned?

    Maybe if Wlad had the balls to pull the trigger none of this would have happened.

    Agree , the division is terrible without him.
