He is not going to fight Uysk for relatively chump change - he isn't going to do it at this juncture.

My thoughts exactly. The only thing I can add to that is Fury will d*ck everyone around for months over it, tease the fight, blame the other guy, put on more weight, and ultimately duck Uysk and have his belt (eventually) taken off him.

I think the only way to get round all this without looking too bad is to mention Anthony Joshua.
Is he still in his dark room? Has he lost the key and now accidentally locked in? Will he eventually emerge with a lion's mane and deep roar? Fury's bois need to zero in on this now!

I don't think his ego could take the inevitable loss. In his mind he is still the greatest boxer ever lived.
He will just have to find and easier opponent than an inactive 0-0 novice recovering from major surgery- or Chisora IV

Comment : Is this guy ever going to take responsibility for his failures? I doubt it.

since fury says there is a legal obligation to fight in december, and that usyk has no choice, im optimistic it will happen

I am comparing apples with pears, of course: Joshua had just lost to the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World, and Fury had just lost to a 37 year old making his professional debut..

What did you think of Fury's illegal use of the elbow?

Usyk not letting up on December 23rd date:

There are obviously stipulations in the contract that allow Fury to postpone, otherwise Fury and Warren would not have been behaving like rabbits caught in headlights post fight when pressed about the December date. Most likely the small nick on Fury's eye will get him a doctors line and the fights off, at least for now.

He'll be furious when he finds out Eddie Hearn was lying about the Fury v Usyk fight happening in December.

Nah, Fury is painfully aware he isn’t the greatest boxer who ever lived, which is why he’s cherry picked so carefully throughout his career.

quack quack

Said weeks ago it won't happen i'll say it again , only this time i'll add it DEFINETLY won't happen ,,, people can hand on to the hope that it will because Fury said he'll sue Usyk if he does'nt fight in dec , but remember were talking Fury here , and whatever contracts they have , if in fact they do have one don't matter one iota , when stacked up against a specelist and a doctors note , personaly i never believed there was a contract signed at any time , it was and is hot air and bluster to generate interest and sales for that load of shite over the weekend ,, .

The conmans shown he's King of the conmen once again

Fury will fart around till New Year, enjoying his cake and chocolates, and be as fat as butter in January. He's never going to be ready for anything in the spring.

I think he'll spiral after last night and might retire after Xmas.

He was never going to fight on December 23rd, win, lose, draw, look crap or look great.

They plucked that date out of the air so that the WBC didn't strip him, because it will be a year since he last defended.

He will obviously be granted an extension, because he needs time to heal and regroup.

Yep, he tends to 'retire' every other month, but miraculously still manages to keep reigning as the WBC HW champion.

I wonder if the WBC will keep putting up with this though?

They're not like the WBA who have 25 HW champions, so that's plenty of sanctioning fees, the WBC only have Fury and he rarely defends the title.

I'm sure that they got a fee for this circus act, and are waiting for the pot of gold with Usyk and AJ, maybe even a rematch with the UFC.

They aren't doing it out of the kindness of their heart, Fury is the biggest cash cow out there.

You make is sound like he is a bear.

tbh i would say that bears and tyson fury have uncanny resemblances to each other

Tyson Fury's brief time with WWE appears to be over after the current WBC heavyweight champion has dedicated his future to boxing.

I don’t think he will duck it, his reputation has taken a hiding after this debacle so to dodge it now won’t look good. I do wonder how much he has left though, from the bits I’ve seen he looked awful.

Probably not but he can’t really come up with more excuses to duck Usyk. His only other option is to retire and would he really want to go out with the Ngannou fight as his last fight, his bragging rights would take a hammering.

“Tyson did what he always does and came away with the win and now we’ll look to the future, we know the fight’s been made with Usyk and hopefully there will be a date nailed down soon, as soon as Tyson feels like he’s ready to go,” Warren said. “It was a harder fight than [Derek] Chisora and it was a harder fight than Dillian Whyte, that’s a fact. No, we wont be going for that [the December 23 date], he won’t be ready for that. It was a tough, tough fight. He’ll need time out to heal his body, [the] time that takes, and then get back into camp, he’ll only have about five or six weeks training, so it’s not going to happen.”

Well, I, along with several million others, can only hope that the silver lining to this one is a "Christmas with the Furys" special on Netflix.

"Eeeeh, pass me that chipolata wrapped in bacon. This is a message to the gapped toothed rabbit! You're no longer a sausage...you're a chipolata! A chipolata!!"

Sadly there's probably still enough rubes out there to buy whatever he's selling. Claim that Usyks ducking, and rematch Ngannou, this time with the belts on the line again in Saudi, it will sell no problem.

Gets in proper shape, wins emphatically, or at least convincingly, 3rd fight, or maybe yet another wilder fight.

There's still plenty of options.

I don't see usyk fight happening now, and he's too greedy to retire.
