    Is there actually even a finalized contract to sign?

    I ask because I see a lot of people asking that same question, implying that Usyk already has his name signed on the dotted line.

    In any case, I still maintain behind the scenes this is largely all a public charade from both camps. And the way boxing forums have been lit up the past week, I'd say the strategy is working. I believe the fight is happening, but then again, nothing would surprise me. And what the hell do I know?

    From the latest reports/ interviews I have heard, from what I understand, USYK has signed

    maybe someone else can confirm or correct?

    I haven't actually seen that reported anywhere, but I'm not doubting you. I still think that the fact they're making things so public in such a cheesy over the top soap opera way was all part of their joint master plan. Obviously I'm proven wrong if the fight does wind up not happening. But I sincerely believe it will happen.

    Regardless of what eventuates, this saga is just annoying. It's worse than Haye/Wlad.

    I hope to go no one supports Fury't little money making side ventures. We deserve a real champ. Let's not enable the splitter.

    Fury is annoying everyone... Sad that an individual does so much damage to a sport.... See that Dana White was also complaining about it..... Just justifying his businesses model...

    You got your 70/30.... Shape up or ship out.....

    Not much time left to promote the event and build up the hype. It means the revenue will be low. And which means the fight won't happen on 29 April.

    Got any proof anyone signed anything? Or we go again with "Fury didn't do", like there's a solid proof Usyk did. He just sent some "points of agreement", which we don't know what they are, but should be what they agreed via the social medias.

    Just wait 10 more days and we'll see, at least we've some deadline from WBA.

    I'm not seeing it that way. The last 2 weeks have been nothing but nonstop promotion.

    I think April 29th for a fight of this magnitude, with no announcement, is far fetched rumski. I'd like to believe it, but no big fight in history that I can remember has had no announcement or any promotion 6 weeks out. And I don't mean old school fights either. J/s.
