    No surprises here then, and these frauds had the cheek to call Usyk out for stating he wouldn't be ready for Fury just after he'd fought AJ in the rematch.

    The world is starting to see what Fury and Warren are, a pair of con men.

    Conspiracy theory Fury hammed it up as an excuse to avoid the fight

    He's obviously going to say the training camp for the Francis fight in the tough fight are the reason he can't fight December but will probably use the lack of a training camp as an excuse for the bad showing last night

    After last night I will wait an extra month or two IF the Saudi's aren't allowed to do all these pre-fight theatrics. We waited for like an hour for the bout to start it was stupendous.

    The pacing of a show is far more important than all the crap they want to waste money on. Press conferences, I don't want to hear Warren talk for 10 minutes. Do a weigh in and a face off. That's all that is needed.

    And it builds far more tension and anticipation.

    They say they are the best promoters and show people in the world but clearly they aren't.

    Funny how Usyk suddenly wants it now, before he was saying he needed more time before Dec 23 haha, I think he smells blood

    Nope, losing to Usyk could never be as damaging as that last night

    He just beat by a guy making his pro boxing debut. That's the ultimate humiliation. Usyk knocking him out cold in a single round isn't as embarrassing as that

    Black eye for both boxing and Fury

    It's clear the plan was for Fury to use Francis as an activity weight loss fight then go back into a 6 week camp for Usyk

    However he was so bad that he's going to need more than a weeks rest and another full camp and even then he isn't going to be banging on all cylinders, same for Usyk. These guys are SO INACTIVE.

    Even if these guys were 30 years old spring chickens their inactivity is hurting them. We have two old fighters. Two worn fighters. Two inactive fighters. Who are desperately trying to gain advantages over one another with camp timings and it's just not coming together.

    I think Usyk would have wanted to extend, he clearly hasn't been in full camp. Fury wanted to push 23rd but after last night he will extend to his benefit not Usyk's and Usyk probably wants the 23rd now LOL. So really they've managed to cancel each other out.

    Even when we get a date probably late January there is still a chance on of these guys gets injured in camp.

    It's like two geriatrics at this point.

    I said a few days ago that the fight shouldn't happen until after January / Ferbruary if Usyk wanted a 3 month camp and I stand by that.

    Both fighters now looking like massive hypocrites.

    Still I woudl rather see it when both are in their best physical shape, and don't mind waiting an extra few months to see the fight.

    Another troll. Show me where Usyk have says he need more time before Dec 23, or shut up.
    You are so pathetic licking Fury chicks.

    Usyk exact words:

    He was asked how long his training camp last:
    He answer my camp is 14 week. 1 week to prepare for the camp, 12 week camp and 1 week rest before the fight.
    He was asked if he suffer any injuries after the Dubois, he says some old minor, but he is fine, and healing them.
    He was asked about the date, and he says he want the fight to happen on December 23th.

    Yesterday and 2 days ago he also explain every single thing of that, and say he is 100% ready, and he started his camp long ago, aka 1 week after the Dubois fight.

    Try better next time, i will always be here to expose lying trolls like you.
    Usyk never wanted to delay this fight.

    Reopening the poll with an end date of Xmas-Eve-Eve on the off chance they abide by the contracted date of 12/23 (which Fury had insisted Usyk honor on pain of litigation...but that of course was before he was outfought by MMA crossover debutant Francis Ngannou and escaped with a gift decision)

    Is it that hard to get it, or you are reading through the text?
    Usyk never says he won't be ready for December 23th.
    He already stated that his camp started 1-2 weeks after the Dubois fight. He wanted the December 23th date and never says he won't be ready for it.

    He already cleared that 2 days ago, long before the Fury fight.
    So saying Usyk is hypocrite is beyond pathetic.

    I think Fury was badly exposed last night, in that his fight tactics post-Klitschko has really been about just having as large a weight advantage as possible on his competitor and then leaning that weight on them to tire them out. That tactic doesn't work so well when your opponent is nearly your weight and constructed out of granite. Fury wouldn't have done well against Zhang either.

    However when going back to Usyk, this is a man who will again have a massive weight disadvantage in the range of possibly 50+ lbs. Will Fury simply just go back to his old weight bullying style and possibly have success there?
