    It's a s**** move from Turki, as there was a strong undercard on this one, and Usyk could also still fight.
    Warren and his tentacles have 100% influenced this.
    This is on purpose to keep Usyk inactive.
    They are talking about July date, which will mean Usyk going to be inactive for a whole year once again.

    To be completely fair Usyk should have already moved on from Fury, as he wasted a good 1+ year of Usyk career. Now even more. Exactly 3 wasted camp for that fat Fraud.
    Just freeze the fat clown out, and let him eat his own poop.

    Oh, and just watch now how IBF will strip Usyk now.

    Postpone five months for a cut? Fighting man... Good thing Foreman was made of other stuff because otherwise we might never have got The Rumble.

    Let's see what the doctors say.

    I feel for Usyk in any case. He's been dicked around so much, when all he wants to do is to make the biggest fight in boxing.

    The cut is probably legit, but apart from being dead tired and suspicious of everything that comes out of the Fury camp now, the immediate message of cancelling and moving it to the end of the year instead of just "we want this to happen as soon as possible, preferably before the summer" just screamed of wanting out.

    I don't buy the cut for a single second. All the rumours was Fury was looking like a s**** and he needs more time.
    And this cut happen very conveniently. Fury is always prepared for this big fights, and he never take them if he is not.
    We see what happen in the Klitschko rematch. He faked injury twice, and then ducked the fight a third time.

    Let's not forget he ducked Wilder rematch, faked a COVID, when he was supposedly was vaccinated, and then he was seen outside supposedly with COVID ....

    The video is clearly staged. They start screaming a cut the moment the shot landed, Fury wipes his eye with the glove and it's a white glove, and there is no blood on it.

    Just think about the image they show us, it's a huge cut. It will flow blood like crazy. Where is all the blood in the video exactly? On the glove when he swipe it ?
    Also who the f**** record with a Nokia 3310? On top of that they cut the video at the exact moment he goes to the camera.

    100% a staged thing.

    I doubt the IBF would actually follow through given it’s a genuine cut and they are discussing rescheduling the fight they would lose out of a lot of sanctioning fees and receive backlash from fans

    Also why would anyone want Hrgovic to step in there’s hardly any notice, nowhere near as big a fight, Usyk’s been preparing for a completely different fighter and it’s high risk if he loses that’s Fury-Usyk out the window look what happened to Wilder-AJ

    They gave Usyk way too much time wasting his career over frauds like Fury. I'm almost 100% certain they will strip him. Fury has put a huge hold on the HW division for way too long. Loves him or hate him, but when AJ was a Champion, the division wasn't stalled and he was fighting regularly the top dogs in the division. Fury and Wilder has never done that. Usyk hasn't done that as well, cause of Fury.

    It's Usyk fault that he is fall for Fury tricks for way too long now.

    Don't forget that Fury ducked the fight last year 3x time. And since the fight was signed, it was postponed due to Fury, already 2x time.
    This fight was supposed to happen early last year, then April, then December, then now, and now god knows when or if will happen at all.

    IBF stripped Opetaia for just wanting to be active, and Briedis was still injured, and they still stripped him.
    You think they won't strip Usyk over that?
    He had like 2 year time to make that fight, and it's ain't happening. He should have moved like long time ago.

    Why not Hrgovic, he dares to offer himself for a fight two weeks before, Usyk is the best, no problem, Hrgovic should be just one "minor" obstacle...

    I agree Fury is a complete diva and clown for holding up the division and taking crap fights but I’d rather wait for this fight than shoehorn in other boxers and hope an upset isn’t caused

    If the IBF wants to strip him who really cares we know who the two best are and it would still be for the ring magazine and the winner would be the obvious number one in the division and greatest of this generation

    I care, and plenty of others people care. Why would he even want to fight that diva ducker, if it's not for the Undisputed?
    i can tell you that Usyk is already Undisputed, as Fury/Wilder were never a legitimate champions. The only true Champion the division had was AJ, so Usyk should have been Undisputed. How's that work?

    Pictures have emerged of the cut now, so it looks legit, deep nasty gash but damn it sucks and there's no reason why Usyk/Hrgovic can't happen if we are to believe both camps.

    IBF will likely strip Usyk and so no undisputed title fight.

    Do these ABC titles really matter in the grand scheme of things, we the fans want to see the best fight the best and this fight will give us a clear number one that’s the main thing. Who’s to say Usyk can’t fight the IBF champ after assuming they even strip him we are discussing a hypothetical that hasn’t even happened

    True the belts don't really matter and yes Usyk could face Hrgovic or whoever has the title afterwards. But I suspect Uysk retires after the Fury fights and if Uysk/Hrgovic does happen it will be because the Fury/Usyk fight is delayed until the end of year and so Uysk takes an interim fight to stay busy.

    The talk of postponing the fight until July is premature and I'm not sure it will happen because in early July you have Euro 2024 so much of the media attention will be focused on that and then at the end of July we have the Olympics which will dominate a lot of media let alone sports media until mid August. Plus there's Wimbledon as well as the Tour De France etc, suffice to say July is stacked in regards to sport, taking a lot of attention away from a fight in July. I mean what will sports fans save their money for, ticket to see Fury/Usyk in the Middle East or Paris for the Olympics. I have serious doubts it happens in July, June would be better if it doesn't happen by then it won't be until end of year.

    Cause Usyk is 37 years old maybe? Cause Boxing doesn't work like that, maybe?
    If you were following the sport for long enough you would have known this.

    Wilder - AJ are a good example of that. AJ was trying to Unify the division for a good amount of years, and how that ends up for him ?

    And Undisputed may not matter for you, but it's matter for Usyk, this was his goal, not facing a fraud Gypsy. Fury was never a number 1 in the division. Hell he was never even a number 2.

    AJ and Usyk always going to be number 1 and number 2. Both are clearly better, and Fury ducking once again proving that.

    If Usyk fights and beats Hrgovic on 17 February, people will complain that the win is not legit because Hrgovic didn't have enough time to prepare.
