    Fury or retire. There's no interest or financial sense in usyk v Parker or kabayel. Let's be honest, even as a 3 time undisputed champ usyk still needs a dance partner to sell a fight.

    What a bull****.
    Fury got 2 chance already. In first fight he got his good moments but also was save from possibile KO.
    In second fight he talking about brawl and do whatever needed to win and be fight... More carefull way. He lost also because Usyk tempo is too much for him.
    Joshua in second Usyk fight was not soo bad actually. He heart Usyk in one round and steal some rounds also.
    Stop talking about only Fury.

    Now Parker deserve this fight most. He will loose but he should have his chance.

    Usyk is im great shape and in great place. He will be got hard decision to make because its hard to end when You are the best and still favorite with anybody. Hope he got smart wife and he decide to leave in good moment for family.

    Unlike his Wilder wins ;)

    I don't honestly think it'd change anything - Usyk has the power to hurt Fury, we've seen that already and if Fury gets more aggressive he gets a lot sloppier... Against Usyk, that's not going to help him, IMHO.

    Maybe...

    I think the way he changed back to his more effective style instead of the sloppier aggressor he was against lesser fighters like Wilder and Ngannou suggests he's not confused.

    You're absolutely not wrong that doing the same wouldn't make for a different outcome... I just don't see changing to a style that suits him much less is going to improve anything.


    I hope it doesn't happen - we already know how it goes, it doesn't really add legacy and the excuses are pre-baked in with Fury... Besides, having lost twice already and refused to admit it makes him undeserving IMHO.

    I didn’t think Fury did any better than Joshua against Usyk. I also think the more they fight the bigger the gap will get. Fury really had nothing in that second fight, he had run out of ideas.

    Usyk ageing like fine wine, Fury ageing like milk. And that voids getting wider with every day of Fury inactivity that passes.. absolute zero interest in a third fight unless Fury first comes back and actually beats someone with a pulse.
