I'm guessing because that is how long it will take to get through three mandatories and a 28 year old Usyk is less of a threat than the current version. It will be interesting to see what Warren does with Dubois and Joyce. They are in line to fight for three titles and the Ring belt against Usyk, which should be a no-brainer for any athlete. Or does he steer them into the arms of Fury to stop Usyk increasing his profile.
Both fighters & managers will earn more from defending their respective slices of pie than they would earn for one unification bout , it"$ a$ $imple a$ that , that's why It aint happening anytime soon , ps anyone saying it ain't about the money is full of horse**** , it's a business .
Sad state of affairs.... Heavyweight is the jewel in boxing crown.... and attracts the most casual viewers (boxing needs that revenue).... And they are ruining a golden opportunity.... And that goes for the boxers , promoters and various boxing associations....
The big fat duck needs to start fighting decent opponents. Looks like he will be waddling off quacking about how it was everyone else's fault.
Fury isn't going to take on anyone who is going to take him out. He's just playing everyone to try and keep hold of the belt. Wouldn't surprise me if he retired, AGAIN, and just started complaining that nobody wanted to fight him. He's a complete insult to the sport.
If It Is truly down to money and Fury not accepting a 50/50 split then he's an absolute pr1ck!. Sick of that mongy bloke and his 50 personalities. Just fight Usyk for 50/50 you absolute c0ck.
Fury is becoming boring, a joke, the real fans and people that follow the sport are getting tired of. There was a time when I had respect for this guy, yes a little awkward to watch, larger than life personality, but he boxed well for a man his size. If you want to be remembered as a legend then start acting like it. Take the hard fights, take the knocks, maybe even a loss or two, look at one of the ATGs Lennox Lewis, never did him any harm and he deserves his place in the hall of fame, no question. Fury unfortunately is getting closer to the point where the door to that great place is going to get slammed in his face. Sort yourself out and fight.
If the fight is to take place in the Middle East I just assume the fight not happen at all. I would actually rather see Fury vs Joyce in Britan with all the fan fare.. If they like they can make Usyk vs WIlder, possibly this best paying fight for Usyk outside of Fury. I don't see the excitement about Usyk. He struggles with Chisora and beat a still shell shocked AJ twice.
Don't know what the excitement is about??? He is unbeaten... Undisputed cruiser.... Holds most of the heavyweight belts..... You must be a fan of the duck
