    latest from Frank Warren ….he says we’re getting to the point we’re “gonna have to make a decision”

    Sounds like this fight is losing likelihood

    The decision is not give Usyk 50:50 at Wembley and delay till a new Saudi offer comes through.

    It's really not Fury's team to decide if they bow to the midgets demands, the offer was 60:40 from day 1 if they had to go to Wembley.

    Hopefully the Saudi's can sort it for Summer otherwise we get issues with bodies trying to strip Usyk or demand mandatories and a long inactivity period for both.

    They've passed the point of "making a decision" April 29th date has passed

    So much trouble for this fight. Honestly I'd rather they scrap it so that Usyk fights Wilder and Fury fights Joshua.

    Is Wearing Sunglasses Indoors Good For Your Eyes? While it might look cool to some, wearing sunglasses indoors can actually be harmful to your eyes. While they cannot cause damage in and of themselves, they can cause eye fatigue. Which in turn can cause headaches, blurred vision, and light sensitivity.

    Yeah, if Fury fights anyone else I'd expect him to hang around for Joyce. He was out in December and can wait for September no bother.

    Today's boxing has become a shame, big fights almost never happen, and when a fight for a minor title is announced, people insult those fighters, I'd rather watch such a fight than the endless blathering through the media between Fury and Usyk...

    It's a decent option, but I doubt Joshua will agree to any top 5 soon, if ever, at least until there you find (Usyk is a dark past for him, not counting him) Fury, Joyce and Wilder. I have some doubts Wilder would agree to some of the tops as well.

    Krassyuk talked about a deadline this Saturday, Usyk posted on his Instagram that the big day is coming (something like that) about a week ago, yet nothing.

    Fight will not happen because of Fury's greed. 50-50 is more than fair to Belly. Love of money is the root of all evil.
    I don't think Fury will risk fighting Joyce, a heavyweight who would have a chance of beating him. Fury-Dubois would be somewhat interesting, but Dubois can punch and so Fury will consider him to be too much of a risk.

    He will choose someone he feels has NO chance of winning, such as Ruiz or Charr.

    Ruiz-Fury would be like David vs Goliath because of the huge height and reach difference.

    If anything, Fury proved he can take a punch, something Dubois can't. And Joyce is slow one-dimensional, he's predictable.

    Charr for Fury is what Shannon was for Wlad.

    Right. Fury has no fear of Ruiz. Ruiz is the next highest available WBC contender. Boxing fans in the UK know Ruiz for knocking off Joshua. He won't ask for anything close to half. He could also help sell PPVs in the U.S. He'd be relatively easy to plug in.

    Usyk has said the only fights he wants are against Fury and Wilder. Finkel has said if the Fury fight doesn't happen, Usyk and Wilder may be next.

    And, should Wilder stop Usyk, the Fury-Wilder 4 fight that keeps being mentioned would be for all the marbles. Or Fury and Usyk could try again later.

    We'll see.

    Both Usyk & Fury are in for a shock when they fight one another

    Both going from fighting big useless static lumps to an opponent who can move and feint properly.

    Sure they've seen it all before but not when there is something on the line in a dead silent Saudi arena. Will be weird.
