    Fury and Usyk will BOTH agree to fight next year.

    The contract is not that watertight. I've seen it.

    Absolute rubbish. If Usyk was misinterpreted, he would've immediately cleared the air instead of waiting a full week before saying he would be ready. Why the hell would anyone be talking about a general camp when the actual fight is just weeks away? Does that bull**** even make sense to you?

    Everyone knew what he meant, including his fans right here on ESB, who started arguing that Fury should wait until Usyk was physically ready. You are talking complete nonsense and accepting whatever he says, a full week later, as the truth. People like you can't be reasoned with.

    ...Tyson Fury isn't my hero. I was rooting for Wilder to knock his head off. You are clearly not objective here.

    It'll be very interesting to see how Fury will thread the line of downplaying to the public the beating Ngannou just gave him while simultaneously using the excuse of injuries sustained in that fight as to why he can't fight in December lol

    He's already kinda started downplaying a little bit by saying Francis "never really hurt" him and the knockdown was from a punch to the back of the head. Which is a damn shame because outside of that, he's been giving Ngannou his due credit and admitting he gave him a much harder fight than expected.

    ‘Objective’ - the irony :lol:

    Your I LOVE TYSON FURY post history says otherwise.

    How’d you sleep last night? Did you tear the posters down?

    Serves Fury right. He was the guy pushing the Dec 23 date. Actually, it's smart for Usyk to change his mind and hold the date if the 23rd. After Fury showed weakness, strike ASAP.

    In a interview 2 days before the Francis fight Fury said he would "sue" Usyk if he didn't show up on the 23rd.. If I was Usyk that alone would make me stick it to Fury and say 23rd it is.

    Tyson Fury is the best thing going in the heavyweight division right now. Usyk is nothing more than a foil for the people that can't stop thinking and posting about the Gypsie King.

    A heavyweight division with a blown up, Ukranian cruiserweight pot-shot artist who can't speak english or promote fights as champ is BORING. If he does manage to beat Fury, the silver lining is that he's old and will be retiring soon.

    Yeah, Usyk is likely looking for the advantage with Fury having been concussed and cut now. But also wants to get the fight done before Fury runs off again, or changes his mind.

    I don't really mind them trying to get the advantage since Fury was an idiot for taking this fight and there was always a risk of injury getting in there with a big puncher particularly (but even in the 'tune-up' with Wallin, that freaky non-concussive punch opened a gaping hole).

    Hopefully they can force it because we need to get it resolved. But I don't see how there isn't a clause to get out of it with an injury clause.

    I don't think Fury is done yet though. He'll want to rectify this for his ego, meaning he'll probably train harder. Maybe he'll even wise up and fire that hack Sugar Hill. If people still had faith in that fraud, maybe it's time to smell the roses, because he just trained Fury to lose to the UFC HW.

    Not only did Sugar allow Fury to come in as a fat slob, in an interview I saw, this was his genius Kronk strategy put together for the non-KO-artist called Fury.

    Sugar Hill: ‘I try to keep it simple like, “bang and get it over with”. Set him up for the right hand, set him up for the power shot, let’s go home.’

    So when that didn't work, what happened, Sugar?
