Its the correct decision. Fury now needs to get back in the ring and get fighting again. I cannot see Fury ever holding that title again by becoming the undisputed champ again, its not going to happen imo. But will be interesting once he steps back in the ring.

It should only go to a unified champ. Until someone wins them all, it should remain vacant. Wilder has the most legit title win and that was Stiverne! The other two are ridiculous.

Wlad never won them all.
Ok, I'll accept AJ, Parker, Wilder sorting it out. Forget Charr. Mike Tyson never won them all.

A bit of a difference between not fighting Charr and not fighting the long reigning WBC champion, with actually a fair claim to being considered the #1 in the division for quite a large period. Yet no one seem to have had a problem with Wlad being Ring Champ.

Nice try. First WBO heavy champ was Damiani in 1989, Tyson was WBA, WBC and IBF champ from two years earlier. He had all belts in existence

So Mike wasn't undisputed when he boxed Spinks or Douglas? He had about a year as champ?
Spinks was in 1988.

So he had it a year until Damiani came along?

No, clearly the WBO being brand new at the time with some fat Italian as their title holder was not considered a real champion at the time. It was dismissed.
What is your point mickey? You were wrong and a "fair enough, I was mistaken" would normally suffice

I don't see how a title won from Charles Martin, stolen from its owner, is more valid than Damianis.

I did not mention that nor AJ nor give a shite mate, I am just talking about Tyson (the Mike variety) and your statement that Tyson never had all the belts when he actually did, lock stock the lot.

AJ is ranked number 1 in the world by everyone except you. He's the man, you're going to have to live with it.

Mickey will be like one of those Japanese soldiers on desert islands in the 70's refusing to accept the war was over .

Seriously, I think Parker and Wilders title wins were better.

Tyson did. The WBO meant nothing at all back in his prime days. Infact, the WBO heavyweight title didn’t even exist when Tyson was undisputed champ.
It didn’t gain equal standing with the other three until mid 00’s

Is Fury going to sort out his voice - I don't think his video do him any justice with the casual fans cos he still sounds ill (or living a hard life).... I guess him singing after the fight will be a thing of the past.
