Usyk says NO to Fury trilogy

I think he'll do the right thing and fight Parker. I know Joe said that Usyk told him no, but Usyk said he told him maybe when they were talking. Parker is next in line and I am sure Usyk would like to defend the unified championship.

 

Yeah - I was really hoping Parker would fight Kabayel as that would create a strong and genuine contender/mandatory for Usyk especially if he does have one more after Dubois.

Really disappointing that we've not heard anything regarding a fight between the two.

 

I have a feeling, just a feeling, that Usyk will give Parker his shot, and Kabeyal will take over Parker as odd man out. Though Parker is saying that Usyk told him no, Usyk said "maybe" in an interview. I think Usyk is going to want to defend the undisputed title, and it will be worth it for Warren to come up with some money to have another chance to get the belts back, even if it is a non-Brit. Supporting all of this is that Usyk just said that he is not going to wait until May to fight Fury, and his performative match with Alex Pereira fell through because Pereira lost.

Or, to make a long story short, there aren't too many other places for Usyk and Warren to go.

Or I could be way, way off base. Maybe Warren will want to make Wardley, and Usyk will just surrender the WBO belt. Who knows?

 

We would have had that 'genuine contender/mandatory' if Dubois hadn't pulled out against Parker.

 

No ****? Your stance and mine are both opinion. Glad you realized that.

 

They aren't just our opinions. Millions have opinions on Taylor-Serrano. Though we certainly do disagree.

 

Well first we had thin Fury without a beard.

Too thin?

Then we had fat Fury with a beard.

Too fat?

Could a thin Fury with a beard or a fat Fury without a beard finally unlock the Usyk puzzle and turn the trick if granted an undeserved 3rd opportunity?

Apologies if I left out any other possible Fury permutations.

 

Anyone been keeping up with Fury? Is he even in shape, does he still train at all?

I wouldn't be opposed to a Fury come back if he did it the proper way and worked his way back up.

 

It's said that Usyk will get $130M for Dubois fight. Let's say 60% of it is spent for taxes, staff, other expenditure etc, Usyk's net profit is probably around $50M.

And people are saying "Usyk has achieved everything in his career, he should hang up the gloves and retire.".

The man gets $50M for a single fight, and if he does 3 fights more, he'll receive at least another $150M. No way he will retire.

 

I doubt money will play a big part in him setting his retirement date.

 

Why do you doubt it? These are professional boxers, they fight for money. Considering Ukraine's situation, Usyk will probably want to earn as much as possible.

 

He says he trains every day and spars twice a week.

 

Let's watch and see.
