    Feels like they going to rob Usyk on the cards of the fight actually comes off. He better prepare to ko Fury.

    Dear lord

    Fury said before Usyk beat Joshua that even if Usyk beat Joshua, Fury wouldn’t fight him because he is a foreigner to doesn’t speak good English.

    Then Fury said he needed a warm up vs Whyte.

    he then fought Chisora and Ngannou.

    Fact is this fight could have happened twice by now excluding the cut of Fury wanted it. But he doesn’t.

    The cut eye is likely best classified as a referred injury.

    The underlying mainstay injury and primary catalyst for all reasonings for avoidance/delays is perhaps a chronically pulled heart muscle.

    Can such an injury even be corrected or heal on its own?

    Can intestinal fortitude be restored in just 3 months? :lol:

    Yet even more time has been bought for us to further guess on it - but the answer to date has been a resounding NO.

    Lots of happy talkee talkee thus far (with a lot more to come from you know who) but still NO actual, fightee fightee.

    This is true. It reminds me a bit of Khamzat in UFC. Before he made money he would literally want to fight every week.

    Time for the HW boxing scene to stop being held up

    I do not think fury pulls out since with the interview and turki sitting next to him , supporting him , he virtually has put his balls on the table that he will deliver this fight .

    Usyk will also not be robbed here since the saudis want to see a battle and can market both fighters for their final undisputed . If usyk wins then he wins.

    But they will make sure usyk will be counted when he folds up on the canvas from a body shot instead pussycat treatment like against dubois .

    And no political speech of zelensky .

    Turki seems to be a bit on fury,s side - true .

    But lets be fair : when an usyk manager that looks like he yesterday cheated with cheap junk cars in an ukrainian one horse town but today smells some dollars calls officially an undefeated wbc world champion a coward and talks about b****es and frypans while saudi arabia pumps more money in this than he can even count its not surprise the symphaty is limited.

    Usyk not able or willing to put out more than three words in english makes it no better .

    He feels , he very feels .

    It depends whether you think Fury cut his own face on purpose.
    If you believe that, then you probably believe Fury is trying to duck Usyk by signing the contract, then constantly pulling out and smearing his own name until the fight is abandoned, instead of just retiring.
    If you don't believe Fury cut his own face, then you probably conclude he will fight the fight he's been training for.

    On the eve of the fight, The Gypsy Queen will shoot off his pinky toe, and claim it was a late night hedgehog hunt gone awry.

    I don't think the fight will take place. Of course I hope it does.

    No - He won't pull out. No - the cut wasn't intentional.
    No - the Earth isn't flat. No - Santa doesn't live at the North Pole.
    Yes - He'll probably beat Usyk in May.

    I believe he will, not because he don’t wanna fight Usyk, but because that cut will reopen again. I’ve stitched cuts up before, and that cut was very deep, there’s no way it won’t reopen again especially when he does sparring.

    To be fair i hope Usyk pulls out this time and mess with Fury a bit. Usyk is being in camp for this fight for a good amount of time, so a real injury may occur, as he will clearly overtrain. And the s*** part is, he don't have time to rest, and then go back and make a proper camp, as the rescheduled date is too close. It's a s**** situation, once again Saudi are helping the Fraud Gypsy Queen.

    I think theres a higher chance of Fury/Usyk (and Fury/AJ) never happening than there is of it happening. Maybe 60/40.

    Do you really feel that Fury's word has any worth what so ever? If so, is it the last thing to come out of his mouth you should trust, or is it one of the the ten different things he said before that?

    I believe it when I see him in the ring, and I haven't despite that this fight been talked about in years.

    He's at this point all talk, a non-fighting man.
