Fury sounds less than keen to take on Uysk.

Some of them want to abuse us. Some of us want to be abused.

I notice I've voted Usyk by decision, but to be honest I favour Fury to start dominating late if the fight's made soon. I'm just tilting to Usyk right now because I think he's the one showing an edge in confidence.

It would be a cool year if Fury-Usyk fought twice (unless it was non-competitive in the first fight) and then he did a "War of the Worlds" ppv event against Francis Nganou. Then maybe a title defense in December against someone like Daniel Dubois or the Ruiz-Hrgovic winner. Though most likely that won't happen.

I think, like Naz before him, Fury's whole shtick is that he is unbeatable, not just the best in the World. And he knows that Usyk and Joyce have legitimate chances of beating him, so doesn't want to know.

The troll's Daily Fury nonsense.
In the real world Joshua has been speaking of fighting Wilder for 5 years but Fury v Usyk is much more likely to happen.

I'm surprised to see you back. You have been very quiet of late re Fury, although still manage to maintain your obsession for Joshua.

Did you watch the interview? If so, which part led you to believe he doesn’t want it? Genuine question.

Did I watch the Seconds Out interview where Fury said " if the contract isn't signed soon, we move on". It was that part of the interview where I experienced a sense of deja vu and got the distinct impression that Fury doesn't really fancy the job.

The contract that doesn't have a location or agreeable split? Is that the one?

I have no idea. I know boxers who find Fwank hard to deal with. I also know that Fury talks a load of sh1t. And Bob (yesterday I was lying, today I'm telling the truth) Arum likes to make the most from his investments. Fury is already talking about moving on, so he's thinking about it. Fury could go back to Vegas and rematch Wallin or fight Kabayel and still have the Usyk fight afterwards. Time will tell.

His old man has been saying a fight against what's his face the UFC heavyweight would be tougher than the Usyk fight, so I'm guessing they might be going down that road.

Of course a UFC guy with zero professional boxing experience is going to be a tougher fight than an unbeaten, two weight unified world champion with an Olympic gold medal.

Is there anyone more full of sh1t than John Fury?

He's a far more engaging individual than the tiresome blowhard Tyson Fury.

Just paving the way for if the fight is announced, his die hard fans and people who know sweet FA will lap it up.

I can't speak for him, but I don't think Mickey would want to see that fight. Whether he would say so on here is another thing. Just my opinion, I could be wrong.
