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

[Frostieballs]

PLEASE LET THIS BE TRUE

[BigDoofus]

Here's hoping, although yesterday he was dismissive as usual, managed to contradict himself within 2 paragraphs.

"It is what it is. I understand everyone wants the most money possible – I do. This is prize fighting, we all want the biggest bag, and no matter what people say 'it's about the belts, it's about my record, my legacy'. No. It's all about getting paid and getting l***. And that's it.”

Tyson said he had little interest in fighting Anthony Joshua now, adding: "AJ's been beat now. I was interested when he was a virgin. It was a test. We want big fights, this that and the other, but 'who are you? You don't have any belts anymore. You don't have anything to give'."

Is this Fury admitting he ducked Joshua? Fair play


As for him and Usyk here's hoping but I'll suspend my excitement until it's official

Joshua has turned down the chance to fight Fury twice in the past nine months. Why should he offer him another chance?

Will be delighted when the first bell rings. Given the amount of dough here I’d expect a few good undercard fights as well,l. Probably not as good as Fury v Ngannou but maybe two similar heavyweight fights.

[CaptainSpacerod]

Does this still go ahead if Fury loses to the UFC dude ?

[Coco]

Fury the coward won't fight, he is scared of losing, 75% of the forum have said so.....

Twice in 9 months? Never heard that before

[Nightmare Roy]

After listening to FW in Talk sport, he sounds super confident that it will happen, let's hope so.

Anything to avoid Zhang

Are people this hyped up about Zhang now? Usyk whooped Joyce in 2013 without headgear at York Hall, when he was a whole 10 years younger.

Fair play - that's so much funnier than your local pub comment - it must take you hours to come up with such clever witty comments mate. I'm sure you could have been as successful as comedy script writing as you were at professional boxing.

I know it was a long time ago, but if you look at the type of boxers Foreman struggled against I think you can be fairly confident that of the current top tier heavyweights, it’s probably Usyk who would have the easiest time outpointing Zhang.

[Redback Rasta]

Positive news on the best fight in the division and for all the titles and some still complaining like their throats have been slashed :lol:

[The Gratest]

Multiple thread repetitive posts...arise Son of Doofy.

Pleased to be appreciated, especially coming from a guy like you, that really means something.....

Perhaps you should be eating a little humble pie rather than having cowardly pops online at someone brave enough to fight for a living.

[The Gratest]

Isn't that what you do to Joshua all the time Doofy?

[The Gratest]

Fury reportedly getting $200mill.
Not quite the half billion he wanted but glad a price could be met. With this and whatever he's getting for the Ngannou exhibition, he's played a blinder here.
Sabotaging the Wembley negotiations and all the gaslighting has certainly paid off.

[cormack]

I shall park this in the long grass until they have a pre fight presser and weigh in .

Anything can happen in the next few months that gets fury off the hook

Like the ones you do about AJ?

A cowardly pop?
Just being complimentary/sympathetic to someone struggling to write something funny on a forum. Hardly a cowardly pop by any normal persons thinking.

Lots here have boxed - most of us had other options than doing it professionally though.

Hah, yeah. I wonder if his desciples actually believed all that shite as well?

[tony1234]

Does this still go ahead if Fury loses to the UFC dude ?

Or gets cut or injured ?

[tonyevs]

What is the 'take home cheque' from a 200 million dollars pay day?

Manager/promotor .. Bob and fWank will no doubt be on a percentage of at least 25% between them.

Trainer will unlikely be on percentage, but on a set fee, so similar to training camp costs I recon.

Tax/NI 60%


£40-45 million??
