Why might Fury want a Chisora trilogy?

Because he is actively trying to lose fans. He has too many fans and he is trying to cull some.

 

A combination of reasons 1 and 4. Lots of money and low risk make for an enticing opportunity. In fact, those are the reasons for many championship matchups.

 

Really not a lot of old "names" to take out while waiting for Usyk-Joshua. Doesn't want to be too rusty for that but doesn't want to get smoked by a young gun. Joshua took out all the old names.

 

I agree with a lot of that but I am not sure how much interest/money this fight generates. They are obviously friends (any fake beef will be transparent) and there no real uncertainty about the outcome. I don't see how anyone can spin it that Chisora is live in the fight. Oddly, if Chisora was hated there be a market to see him bashed up but I don't really think anyone what's to see that. It's a hard sell.

I don't really see the advantage to Fury of delaying the Usyk fight (assuming he beats AJ). There is only a 2 year age difference and given the lack of pints. recreational drugs, massive weight fluctuations he is probably the younger in 'athletic terms'. The fight would be a fitting final act for men's careers.

I also don't really think he would be saving Chisora from a beating elsewhere. If Fury sort of carries Chisora the distance but damages him in each round the long-term damage is probably greater than being sparked early by the likes of Wilder - which is how I would see that fight ending.

Given the AJ/Usyk fight is only 11 days away it makes sense to wait, see what happens and try to make the undisputed fight as soon as possible. This might sound cynical but if Usyk wins financially it makes sense to have the fight before the public lose interest in the Ukraine-Russian war (which has clearly made Ukrainian sportspeople more marketable). As we all know complex routes to fights, letting them season etc, all this bollocks normally means the fight never happens- particularly as neither is particularly young. Any delay is a risk.

 

I think because Fury trains all the time to stay out of trouble he needs something to be training for and he would deem Chisora as a easy stay busy fight that will last some rounds. I think he is still toying with the idea of fighting the Usyk AJ 2 winner and by staying active he is giving himself a better chance.

 

Nothing is going to elevate fury's two previous wins over Chisora, barring a miraculous win resulting in Chisora becoming a champ. How on Earth can you figure it would be a HW title trilogy? neither was a champ when they fought previously. Chisora isn't ranked, so only bribery (to get him ranked) or a non title fight can happen.

 

I seriously can not understand anyone buying ticket to this if it were to happen.

 

Because Chisora is his buddy and Fury likes for his buddy go get some coin.

 

Then he should hire him for something, not put on a staged, meaningless 3rd fight.

 

Hire him for what? To be the poster boy for the Furiosity drink?

 

Wants to stay active before his fight with Usyk.

 

Some very good points. You could be right about timing but would it not probably go to the Middle East again, in which Winter actually a bit better? (you can actually go outdoors then?) Just speculating
