    100% agree. Usyk is a rare talent but unfortunately unable to draw flies. Fury is box office.

    He should fight Canelo for the WBC Mestizo championship belt.

    It was sold out. And cheap tickets was for the Ukrainian people. A great gesture from Usyk’s team. Something that people should appreciate.

    I don’t understand the criticism of Fury defending against Whyte.

    Not only was he a mandatory defence, but he was ranked #3 by the TBRB at the time. The #1 and #2 were Usyk and Joshua, who were unavailable as they were having a rematch. Whyte was therefore the best opponent he could possibly have fought.

    Agreed, but many shat on Whyte as an opponent due to his loss against Povetkin, who they concluded was beaten by COVID rather than Whyte. So, whilst I agree with you, at least they are being consistent.
