Don’t tell us Usyk has fled East again ever again.

Your rhetoric doesn’t fly anymore.

Your mate GK got beaten up by a novice. A Neanderthal slugger who, to be fair looked very comfortable in there. A few fancy flicks won a terrible fight for the GK. awful.

Thats it.

“Usyk’s a sausage," Fury told Sky Sports this week. “I expect it to be taking place in December, that’s what I’ve been told, so I’ve got no reason to disbelieve it. Usyk has to fight me in December, doesn’t have a choice. He signed the contract, so if he doesn’t, he’s breached contract and he gets sued. So he doesn’t really have a choice.”

but usyk geting sued if he doesnt fight in december!

How many times in recent years has a reigning heavyweight champion fought a tough fight and then defended his title only 2 months later?

No it wasn’t. Fury was threatening legals if it didn’t happen.

You are literally defending the indefensible.

I will accept AJ - Wilder in on the 23rd December and Fury-Usyk in February.

Ngannou fights both winners on the same night in April!

Todd deBouef: " I haven't felt any of the parties involved, that were ready to do this in December, going in a different direction other than going forward.

Now we are just trying to fine tune some of this, the date and everything like that. I think there's a promise, there's a glimmer of hope out there, a big glimmer, that this will hopefully come to fruition".

That's quite a different tone from pre Ngannou fight.

My guess is that since Fury got turned over by Ngannou, they know for certain now that Uysk would smoke Fury.

Don’t be silly. Usyk needs to get Fury’s scalp to get full credit as the best heavyweight of the generation.

Yes I agree - Usyk needs to beat Fury before someone else does next and the undisputed gets even further away.

fWank will no doubt be panicking about how much longer the WBC allow Fury to stall before they strip him, or who fWank can get to take the title off him to have some longevity at the top table.

It's not just Fury's days at the top table coming to an end, fWank's days are too. He thought he had a solid prospect in Dubois to keep him there - but Dubois turned out to be very very fragile and not going anywhere.
Fury will be stalling to line up another Netflix series - fWank will be stalling to sign up another prospect ..

For me, the four belts are irrelevant. The winner of Usyk-Fury is the man regardless of which belts are on the line.

I agree with this however,
The longer Fury strings everyone along with pointless “stay busy” fights and meaningless exhibitions. His stock rescinds further and being in the “The Man” conversation becomes laughable.

We were told by the whole Fury camp, Fwank included, the fights done, agreed- Dec 23rd.
Then why oh why did the Ngannou farce happen? Why?
Coz Fury was bang outta shape and though it was such a cakewalk it didn’t matter.
Oh it did Luke. It really did.
