Their performances against Usyk?

From the horse's mouth:

"The 37-year-old said a December 3 dust-up with Fury would be "tight for me" but that he would be willing to face Joshua later that month and that it was "an easy fight to make"."

Yep, I didn't think Joyce would turn down a title shot, he has been ready and waiting for one.
Sad that didn't get made.

‘Tight for me’ - so he’d probably take it if he was happy with the financials.

He was definitely calling Joshua out. What's his excuse? Another fashion show?

Excuse for what? Not responding to it? It’s not like they made an offer or tried to negotiate. Joyce just said he was up for the fight and he’s trying to get attention by bringing up AJ. He’s not the first. The Fury/Chisora press conference was full of talk about AJ.

Anyway, back to the topic, what are your thoughts on Fury/Chisora 3?

As a warm-up for Usyk in the Spring it's acceptable.
Chisora (against Usyk) performed better than Joshua in his first attempt.
Joshua won't fight Fury (or Wilder) so we have to accept Chisora as his substitute.

You seem a bit obsessed with AJ. I ask your thoughts re: Fury/Chisora and you mention AJ a couple of times.

Fury/Chisora isn’t a fight I want to see again. The first was a comfortable win for Fury and the second (which I went to) was a beat-down. Hopefully it’s more competitive than most people think it will be but I can’t see it.

FFS

5 more weeks of this to go !

its a shit fight compared to many other options however even though I dont care for it will still end up watching it ..

All AJ's fault.

He's far from obsessed about sticking up for Fury, but then goes on(again)to do just that.

What I will say is I was at fault too. I didnt like the way a fellow poster was being treated and I wrote something that I was clearly wrong in doing so. I apologise.

Back to boxing.

threatening to hound people speaks volumes about your character.

Thanks for that. I have apologised and meant it.

Back to boxing.

Only seen the end clip but it's hilarious. Seems frustrated that nobody is believing his bullshit anymore.

Just listened to the Fury interview with True Geordie. TG was measured in his opinions, not over the top and fair. Tyson just showed his lack of intelligence and went to name calling because his BS answers weren’t just accepted like they would have been by Umar/Kugan and co.

Makes me want to watch more TG stuff.

end clip

He seemed very agitated from the start. Maybe midway through his training cycle?

I was willing him to point out that Ali had trilogies with Frazier and Norton. I like Tyson a lot, but this "Not my era" hogwash seems designed to justify him not fighting Usyk. He doesn't fancy that challenge, I'm convinced of it.

While it is not a fight I want to see I am a bit more reasonable than most so-called boxing fans. When I was a kid there were plenty of champions who did non-title matches and exhibitions in between the big fights. They were never criticized for it or if they were it was pretty minimal.

I remember a time when champions did a lot of voluntary defenses not necessarily against the number one or number two or number three guy but again somebody farther down the trough.

And basically that's all that is going on here with Tyson Fury. Everybody is acting like he is ducking or dodging the undisputed title fight when that is not the case at all. The evidence is out there that Usyk did not want to fight until 2023 and the evidence is out there that basically Eddie Hearn prevented the Joshua fight from happening either.

Same
Way, way more money in it to face Uysk, and the chance to hold all four belts.
Who wouldn't want a chance at that for legacy?
Uysk certainly does, it's all he wants.

Problem with Fury is he only seems to fight guys we already know the answer too , have a good look at his record not excatly full of killers is it and Klitchko he never rematched,, and the shame of it all is he would probably beat who ever is put in front of him

Understandable, he's the Heavyweight Champion of the World. The first question was asking his opinion on a low level contest involving a Youtuber called KSI. I found it more than a little agitating too.

Saying that, the interviewer was correct to stand his ground in regards to Chisora.
