This is farcical now. Just gives boxing a bad image with all the bull****. If I wasn't I it already I wouldn't give 2 ****s about boxing. So Fury will wait for Wilder meaning we won't see either in with AJ until atleast late 2020 but more likely 2021! What's the point in even watching these lot until then?
The reason why the fight won't happen is because the WBC will order a 50/50 split. On what planet does Whyte deserve 50/50 against Fury?
I was going to say Usyk and to be fair as a british fan im interested in our domestic scene at the moment.
Fury is on ESPN bum tour. He will take easy fights until rematch with Wilder is big enough or cash out against AJ.
I’d say Whyte was tailor made for Fury. Whyte struggled against an ageing Chisora - who of course Fury took to school, so not sure why he would avoid it - would also take Whyte out of the equation for a title shot - leaving the door firmly open for Fury - after he’s topped up his pension fund.
I had warned everyone that Fury would never dare step in the ring again with a live body and will seek a way out of having to fight Whyte, yet many still are surprised to learn that Fury no longer possess the heart or desire to face any risks. He will continue to exist of the fringes of the HW division fighting cast offs and corpses from the grave, while still proclaiming that he's the undefeated Lineal Champion that goes back to the days of John Sullivan and he's got fighting man's blood and a host of other garbage which his fanboys blindly swallow
Bit harsh - I get your point, but then you have to also point the finger at Joshua and Wilder too ... & Whyte for dodging a title fight with AJ ... & also the ‘fans’ who pay for these meaningless fights.
How can AJ, Wilder pr Whyte be blamed for Fury's bare faced cowardice? Wilder gave him the opportunity to jump straight into a title fight, and then threw him another oppotunity for an immediate rematch in a 50/50 fight deal. Even after being let down in favor of Schwarz. Fury then gets thrown another bone, to fight Whyte, and still finds a way out. Joshua as far as I'm aware has never been in serious discussions to fight Fury. So he can't really be blamed for anything to do with Fury. Whyte has a right to feel hard done by simply for the fact that his opponent for a title eliminator is outright refusing to fight,
Ok so you don’t like Fury. The fact it, apart from Fury vs Wilder they’ve all dodged each other. Wilder s next fight - Ortiz 2 - if that’s not avoiding a big fight I don’t know what is - why isn’t he fighting Whyte? But while the fans keep paying, the promoters will keep coining it ... we all miss out on the big fights. If you pay for Joshua / Fury’s upcoming fights - blame yourself. Unfortunately it’s supply and demand - if the big red button keeps getting pressed, why would these money grabbing promoters risk their investment?
