    It’s highly likely Fury will pull out again with another excuse. Haye infamously did the same but how the tables have turned, don’t forget Fury pulled out of Wlad rematch too

    They should do what the UFC does and have Hrgovic train as a backup opponent to save the event should Fury pull shenanigans again.

    I don't think he will. Too much money involved to push it out any further.

    He will never, ever fight Usyk, and I have been telling you all since the night of "Usyk can suck my balls." Anyone with eyes and ears could see and hear the palpable fear.

    He made a lot of money, brings a lot of money and uses that status, Hrgovic, unlike him, needs money and is ready to jump in at such a short notice, fighters who are not financially secure are the best fighters because they are ready for anything...

    A better question would be:

    Will His excellency accept Fury if he do so?

    If Yes: Its a nobrainer His Excellency wants to make big casual fights like AJ-Fury, AJ-Wilder etc. Usyk is just standing in the way like a boring boxing roadblock.

    My father DKSAB and his thoughts about AJ-Usyk: Usyk is much better BUT he is boring.

    It comes down to His Excellency.

    I dunno...is he going to have an enormous cut open up on his eye again?

    If so, maybe.

    If not, or some other injury....then he probably won't

    People need to chill out and stop convincing themselves Fury doesn't want to fight Usyk. Going to pull your hair out when he beats him that's for sure. built up a false narrative in your minds over the span of literally over a year, which is the definition of insanity.

    Better to try and fail than not try at all which is exacly where both Usyk & Fury stand. Fury didn't give up his ring magazine belt to Usyk for fun...he did it because he wants to win it back again and join himself alongside Muhammad Ali.

    This fight was happening and almost by fate of people willing it the bout has been delayed

    People need to stop willing these things into existence. Almost every Fury hater has been gagging for him to pull out. First time Fury uses head gear in sparring for every spar and he gets a cut. That's just some weird fate. It's unfortunate that now both pressured into taking big precautions and no matter what precautions you take it's VERY possible either still gets injured AGAIN.

    Turki wants Fury vs AJ. He wants Usyk out of the equation. He and Fury probably set up this cut together. When Fury pulls out again on 18 May, Turki will back him again.

    That's why he showed up with Fury today in Ariel Helwani's YouTube channel and didn't allow Klimas and Usyk to talk against Fury. Klimas and Usyk were demoralized at Turki's this behavior.

    Watch it and see:

    True statement, imagine addressing a guy like that as 'His Excellency'...:risas3:. The dude reminds me of that 'Maharaja' dude in the Sandler film, Murder Mystery!

    Fight will be postponed again to September due to Fury breaking his pinky finger during training.
