I hope fans don’t allow Fury to duck Usyk. If they fight anyone but eachother, I’m not interested. Too many ducks these days. It’s time for fans to speak out and vote with their $$$. Fury fighting a tomato can or fourth match with Wilder is BS. There is only one matchup. Make it happen.
Wilder definitely would want that fight. It's much more winnable for him than Fury. At least he is not at a height, reach and weight disadvantage. (Not saying he would win, but it would be a tense matchup.)
Don't pay attention to him, he is just parroting Fury's nonsense. Usyk is plenty big enough and if you see a 6'3 220 lbs guy in everyday situations, that's a huge man right there. The average British male is 5'9 and 180 lbs - yeah, midget at 6'3, lol. When Fury is not acting like a clown to his casual fans, he knows perfectly well this whole midget talk is just risible nonsense. He refuted it himself - just listen to his presser after the Chisora fight.
Congratulations then - your cult leader just "defended" his title against a 6'1.5 ultra midget whom he'd already beaten twice like a decade ago. You see, this is why it's so entertaining to watch your charade. You don't even think through what you are saying and how that affects Fury - you just parrot his nonsense. Don't you feel an absolute pelican calling a 6'3 man a midget when you bigged up a 6'1.5 fighter in December?
I don't care if this fight happens now but I'm interested to see the dross Frank and Bob come out with to explain it. I can just imagine Frank squirming on TalkSport. It wouldn't surprise me at all if behind closed doors the pair of them are absolutely sick of the bloke. If we're lucky Bob might let something slip. As far as I'm concerned Fury has made a mental calculation that the money he'll be getting to fight Usyk @ Wembley, and potentially lose, is less than what he could get across several much more winnable fights, should he avoid Usyk altogether. That's why Fury wanted Saudi money, but because a certain British-Nigerian heavyweight lives rent-free in Fury's head, he demanded more than he's commercially worth to the Saudis. So much for the middleweight talk. It's crazy, because most sane boxing fans would have Fury as a slight favourite. If Usyk retires, Fury dicks around for the rest of his career and AJ makes a slight resurgence before the new blood take over, I'm claiming Usyk was THE man of this era. Simple as There's some good non-Usyk fights for Fury I have to admit but a) none of them are undisputed and whether you like it or not the boxing public HAVE been conditioned into wanting undisputed glory and b) if Fury is ducking Usyk then who's to say he won't duck Joyce or even Ruiz? I'm being serious here - Joyce flattened Parker, and while Parker has always been a poor man's GK, Joyce battered him and would take away some of Fury's natural advantages. ''n-no I don't need to fight Joyce [despite being a world-class fighter with growing renown in Fury's home country, who is an interim champ and is promoted by Fury's own promoter and through the exact same promotion and on the exact same network] he can fight the small Ukrainian dosser!'' It's mindblowing. Fury drawing to Wilder was one of the most memorable and feel-good moments in the post-Klit heavyweight era and 4 years later we're at the stage where liking Fury is basically an IQ test
Thank you for the specifics I originally thought USYK should accept less than 50% in England, given that Fury is the big draw there. but then again. Usyk has three titles that he brings to the table, whereas fury has one I think a 50-50 split is the only fair split, given the situation
There are no excuses here, Fury has to fight Usyk or he should just retire. I like Fury, he is a superb boxer and a funny mofo but it really looks like he don't fancy this Usyk fight in my opinion. Excuses are being made, reasons are being explained.. it just isn't a good look, Usyk isn't a difficult match to make. If AJ and Hearn can make fights with him then I don't see why Team Fury can't.
Fury is filling his drawers with the thought of fighting Usyk. What a coward. I suspected he would duck him.
