Tyson Fury Shock Fight Against Cruiserweight Champion ‘All But Sealed’

Absurd.

I had high hopes for Fury when he beat Wilder in fight #2. I really thought he could have a 3-4 year period which he could dominate. The way Lewis dominated from 1999-2002. But alas he is throwing it away.

 

Wouldn't surprise me if Fury is using this as a litmus test to see how his shot body stands against Usyk

I also wouldn't be surprised if this turns into Wallin 2.0 and he looks awful lol

But at the same time I doubt it will happen as Fury is Fury. Don't care until he's in the ring

 

Whatever. Wake me up when something happens. Klitschko era looking pretty good now eh?

 

Tyson Fury wants to be mentioned all over the world without fighting, his Ego is so big that he can't stand not to be mentioned and connected with some fighters who show interest, and as soon as Fury gets closer to the moment when he needs to sign the contract, he withdraws with various pronunciation...

 

Tyson "The Limbo Dancer" Fury continues to lower that bar.

 

Ion wanna hear about Fury no more unless it's about negotiations with Usyk...........

 

So he's considering fighting the current southpaw Ring Cruiserweight Champion before he fights the last southpaw Ring Cruiserweight Champion.

Opetaia has weighed as much as 217 for a fight. Opetaia has more fights than Usyk. Opetaia beat Mauris Briedis, Usyk's best cruiserweight opponent. And he's nearly 10 years younger than Usyk.

I'm scratching my head wondering why this is insane?

He could've picked Badou Jack, after all. He's the WBC Cruiserweight Champ.

 

He is preparing for an Usyk showdown in the winter. All the people accusing Fury of ducking will look stupid.

 

Hell, Opetaia may end up doing better than Usyk, for all we know. Fury doesn't like Usyk. He might take it easy on Jai for a few rounds.

I think this just bothers people who have been talking up the cruiserweight division for years. They've all been insisting a heavyweight champ taking on a Ring Cruiserweight champ was something special.

I'll tune in to watch. I like Jai. His fight with Briedis was great.

 

I doubt Opetaia losing to Fury downgrades the old CW division. Most people believe Fury cannot be beaten by anyone except Usyk.

 

Completely and utterly ridiculous.

 

Great fight

 

I think this could actually be a decent fight. He's only a bit shorter than Usyk and his reach is only an inch or two different, plus he's a southpaw like him and just emerged the victor in a hard fight against the guy who arguably gave Usyk his hardest challenge. It is sullied by a few things though. I'm not crazy about the fact that Opetaia would be fighting for the first time in a new division against one of the best guys in it, coming off not just over a year of inactivity but also a nasty injury. Still, it might not be bad, if it happens.

Thing is, I doubt it'll happen. Fury says stuff like this all the time, and I think he means it every time, he just changes his mind on a whim. I'm sure this time next week he'll have called out someone else, maybe Huni or Browne if he's still on his down under kick.

Course if I'm wrong and this ends up being the one to happen, at least Opetaia would come to win. That's why I was okay with the prospect of him fighting McKean or even Charr. Do I give them much of a chance? Hell no, then again no one gave Buster Douglas much of a chance either. I personally doubt either of them could replicate his success, but we know they'd at least come with those intentions. That's really all I'm asking at this point. Get Fury in the ring with somebody who wants to actually win, even if they're well below him in skill, and I'll be happy; that goes for all the other inactive boxers too.
