He said three sites are bidding, all from the Middle East and Wembley or Cardiff as a fall back plan. He was very impressed Fury could draw such numbers in the Del fight (he was there).

Be nice if it was Wembley. The atmosphere in the stadium would be electric and the buzz around the country in fight week would be superb

One thing he won’t win. I doubt he will even attempt to.
Agree with Mickey ,, For one don't think he'll even attempt them , for two , it would'nt work with Usyk , he'll just put that vacant look on his face and say whats this idiot on about ,, Think you can expect a lot of tongue in cheek stuff from Tyson but definetly not too much disrespect ,, bit of argy bargy Tyson leading off and Usyk breaking into a big grin knowing its all a joke

Usyk is untrollable, it's pointless to try to get under his skin verbally, although it's still a tool to gather more noise around the event, so Fury won't stop and he doesn't need to do it.

It’s hard to tell with Tyson what’s attempted mind games and what’s just his usual trash talk. He’s been calling him a bum, rabbit and middleweight a fair bit.
You’re right though - will have zero impact on Usyk. Unlike both Wilder and Whyte who Fury handled before the fights and in them too.

I doubt, that Fury got under Wilder's skin before the 1st fight. Yet after the 2nd one Wilder was broken indeed. And Whyte just was in the irredeemable situation from the start.

I watched an interview with Usyk where he was speaking in Ukranian, and he said he understands everything Fury says but that he chooses to ignore it. Then he went on Fury being a "Borache" (which means drunk) and how his real name was Luke, and talked about how Fury's mind was on roaming around and being in a field (or something like that) because he's a traveller.
It was a fun interview, but I'd say it's pretty clear that Fury is in his head, however that may manifest itself.

Tyson Fury is not going to win any 'mind games' with Uysk
Uysk is confident he will beat Fury, and Fury is probably going to avoid Uysk. Make of that what you will.

If Usyk has called him a drunk and Luke then he is engaged whether he wants to be or not.
Frank W has risked the wrath of boxing fans by revealing that the PPV price for Tyson Fury's undisputed heavyweight clash with Oleksandr Usyk is set to rise again.
Fury's latest fight against Derek Chisora earlier this month was priced at £26.95 by BT Sport, leaving some fans unhappy as the Gypsy King cruised to a one-sided stoppage win.
Despite the backlash from viewers before and after that fight, Fury's promoter has confirmed fans will have to pay even more to see the giant heavyweight take on Usyk in the new year.
When asked whether the price would be increased once more, Warren told talkSPORT: 'Oh yeah. With the four belts on the line – without discussing it with anyone, yeah, I'm sure the price will go up.
'The same as if Tyson would have fought Anthony Joshua, the price would go up. They are the two big money fights.'
Warren did not go into exact details on what the new price would be, explaining that figure would be determined by the broadcaster.
'It depends what the structure of the deal is,' he said.
'If they [the broadcaster] put up some sort of guarantees, then they're looking to recover their guarantees, which will determine the price.
'If there isn't a guarantee and it's done on a share basis, then again that determines what the price will be.'
While Warren's comments are unlikely to please fans, the highly-anticipated heavyweight showdown between Fury and Usyk appears to edging closer, with both teams negotiating a date and venue for the contest.
Dates in the second half of February and early March have been touted, and Warren has moved to assure fans that both fighters are on board with getting a deal over the line.
'Both fighters absolutely want it,' he insisted.
'The managers and promoters all want it, so we're just getting it together and working out where we're gonna put it on – that's really the situation.
'It's gotta go on by March and so we've gotta all move quickly so over the next couple of weeks we will or we won't get it sorted out.
'But everybody wants to do the fight, absolutely want to do it.'

At least Eddie lubes us up before a prices increase. Fwank doesn't even spit on it first.

Frank just uses a log and shoves it up the ass.
It probably be £29.95..
This will then justify them to make Fury-AJ £39.95 if it ever happens.

I thought Tyson wasn’t in it for the money? Must be team Usyk making them look to increase the PPV price.
Fans were outraged upon hearing the news, noting on Twitter that they were charged just £15 for Ricky Hatton's famous fights with Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. "This isn’t good, not comfortable with the way this is going," one fan wrote. "Getting ridiculous and keep pushing the price up, not gonna buy."
Another disillusioned Twitter user added: "Crazy stuff...the £27.95 price point didn't even pass the litmus test - how can it conceivably increase?" Others noted that it will be an easy event to stream illegally, particularly if the price for purchasing it is set at such a high amount during a cost of living crisis.
"Hard to justify most people paying £30 in a cost of living crisis when the fighters come out with £80million each," one said. "Think most of us will be streaming this one." Another fan was similarly annoyed, adding: "Ugh, price increases with the state of Queensbury undercards. Nope."

Please change the chorus to:
"We're not going to pay it,
No!
We ain't gonna pay it.
We ain't gonna pay it - anymore!"
