Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk | PPV - 18 May 2024

[mickey1975]

And you know a couple people here will be repeating that

The ones who said it at the time? Ruthless?

What's this?

You were one of the guys who said AJ turned down McKean because he's southpaw.

[The Gratest]

See, just a misunderstanding of what Tony was referring to.

[tonyevs]

Now that Spence vs Crawford is on ( excellent fight) it looks even worse on Fury that he won't box Uysk.

Why? That's been going on a lot longer tan this.

Probably meant Fury ducking serious challenges in general .. you know from the early days of avoiding David Price; then pre and post gun shy AJ, and nowadays Usyk

I thought he boxeed Price in his first season as a senior, AJ wouldn't box him or Wilder and he will fight Usyk. That's me done for today, Tone, enjoy your days holiday.

Mixing up a young amateur Fury with a pro Fury

Taking a risk fighting the ancient Wlad and limited Wilder for a world title opportunity and route back is not a free pass on ducking all other challenges.

[jamesmcdonnell]

Why? That's been going on a lot longer tan this.

They have phoned each other up, had a conversation, and made it happen.

Meanwhile, Fury is boxing softies and turned down huge money in Saudi Arabia, didn't even have his coach with him for a potential 29th April, and seems to be dragging his heals re Saudi in December. Its not a good look for someone that can't be beat by any man born from his mother..

No, I agree it doesn't look great. I don't think he's boxing McKean, though. Just crap again. As I said, I think he will fight Usyk this year

I hope you're right, but I suspect they will not ever agree terms.

Fury on when we can expect to see him fight again
“I’m looking to get out again very, very soon. I’m exploring opportunities here in Australia maybe for my next fight. So, yeah, I’m looking forward to any fight. I want to get on the road, I want to be a fighter that travels a bit, and wins titles and defends belts all over the world because I’m not just a British heavyweight champion, I’m the world champion, which means every country in the world that I’m representing.”

On if he’s even interested in a fight with Oleksandr Usyk
“Does it interest me?! The guy’s a little pussy, he’s been running away from me like a year, and I’m finding it very difficult to get him into the ring. But I don’t blame him because I’m going to punch the fornicate out of him when I get him in there. So, yeah, keep running, bitch. Keep running.”

On his social media beef with Jon Jones
“I don’t really make a lot to it, to be honest...because I’m no UFC fighter and he’s definitely no boxer, so what’s going to happen?”

Usyk biggest ducker in the sport, ickle pussay

[Ruthless-RKO]

Usyk has signed an agreement with Saudi Arabia-based Skill Challenge Promotions (SCP)

[Ruthless-RKO]

“It’s a great opportunity to bring the biggest fight in heavyweight history to the boxing fans of the whole world," noted Usyk. "Tyson Fury doesn’t want this fight, but we will make it.”

[Steveh583]

I think fury’s aware he’s made a fool of himself and done a lot of damage to his reputation. He seems to have given up on a meaningful career and is on cruise and collect mode. He’ll draw crowds abroad, but his hearts clearly not in it anymore. I wonder if that 3rd wilder fight has taken something out of him.

Fury will only 'fight' in Saudi if it's a staged fight he gets to win with the WWE.

It's nice that Quickey has finally come out. Hopefully he'll calm down a bit and get the support he needs from friends and family.

Why don't these pathetic, boot lucking interviewers press Fury on his utter bollocks. Everyone knows Fury ducked Usyk.

Yet these lickspittle let Fury spout his nonsense and nod along mindlessly before asking the next bootlicking question.

Pathetic interviewing. Do their job and call him out on it. So what if Fury gets mardy.

Lol did Fury actually say that?

[Redback Rasta]

Usyk has signed an agreement with Saudi Arabia-based Skill Challenge Promotions (SCP)

Good luck to Usyk for signing what will no doubt set him up for life but not sure it is going to work well in getting him a big name opponent after he fights Dubois.

I say that because Usyk has now effectively become the 'home' fighter in Saudi and it won't be good for business if he loses his first fight of his new contract.

Saudi Arabia preparing ‘premium offer’ for Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk in December

December is looking like it’s going to be a very good month for boxing fans as a night of superfights in Saudi Arabia is coming together with the world’s best heavyweights.

The plan is to have Tyson Fury fight Oleksandr Usyk to unify the heavyweight titles. In the co-main event, Anthony Joshua will fight Deontay Wilder. Both fights would headline a card on their own. Together it will undoubtedly be the biggest combat sports event of the year.

But will these fights come together? Fury vs. Usyk has fallen apart before, and Fury is known to be a difficult negotiator.

According to Skill Challenge Saudi Arabia’s Director of Boxing Operations Amer Abdallah, there will be no issue enticing “The Gypsy King” to fight.



“The premium offer will be coming soon, it will be based on the market value and demand of the fight,” Abdallah told TalkSport. “Tyson is frustrated, he wants to fight. If he can land something in September or October and then clear himself for December, we would love to make that offer. It will be a premium price, we would never insult anybody with a low offer.”

When this night of superfights was first revealed, reports had the purse budget for the event at $400 million. So there shouldn’t be an issue financially. Abdallah has also made it clear that he considers Fury the promotional lynchpin for the whole event and the biggest draw. That means he should be collecting a hefty portion of that nearly half billion amount.

That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t expect to see Fury out until the end of the year. “The Gypsy King” is in camp and teased an announcement soon. Given how much money is on the line for December, don’t expect a very challenging opponent.

Let’s see what’s Fury's new excuse is I don’t think he’ll have any credibility left if he doesn’t sign though.

[mickey1975]

So, he’s signed to fight himself?

Is Fury going to earn more taking on Ngannou in an exhibition than he would boxing Uysk in Saudi Arabia? I doubt it very much.

How many million can one man spend in one lifetime? Fury is no Floyd when it comes to spending.

Maybe Fury isn't money motivated... Anyway, that's beside the point, who has he signed to fight?
