    There is a huge gulf between what Tyson Fury says and what he does.

    There's only about 18 months difference between them.

    Tyson Fury is possibly the worst matchup for Usyk. I can't believe some are saying Fury is ducking, he has the tools to make it the easiest fight of his career.

    Because the Saudi's offered Fury $100m to fight NNanganou and $50m to fight Usyk.

    Heard it here first

    Fury is wearing a blonde wig and learning to trash talk in an American accent to help Tommy in his preparations for the Jake Paul fight, tis easier than facing Usyk.

    There's no agreement on money. Fury wants too much. It will never happen. You'll see.

    So, we get a "confimation" that the date is "targeted" but not yet decided, and that the promoter "thinks" the venue will be announced soon.

    Nothing to see here; move along.

    With both being of similar age, it kinda cancels that out

    Because Fury is targeting the ultimate fighting champion Francis Ngannou in a cage boxing championship of the world. Who needs to fight boxers when you can fight MMA fighters in boxing?

    you obviously haven't perused The Fury resume, it is filled with bums.

    It's because the fight won't happen, sadly. Fury knows Usyk would end his career. It's not without a reason he has been ducking Usyk for over a year now. Usyk has already agreed to everything ages ago and keeps calling Fury out. It's Fury who's doing the stalling, as usual. The negotiations have been going on for what, five months now? If a fight can't be organised in five months, it'll never be organised. Five months is a ridiculously long time to get a deal done. There's no way there are still details to be worked out. Fury doesn't want the smoke, he manages his career the Mayweather way. Cherry picking, deceiving and playing on the ignorance of the casuals. He is the worst thing that happened to HW boxing in living memory and I personally can't wait to see him retire (but this time for real) so he can't mess around with the division any more.
