This'll look like Andre the Giant vs Randy Savage.
andre the giant vs 6'3 220 paris fury
Okay smart ass how about Tommy Fury then. He's certainly closer to the size of the Ukrainian than not. A cruiserweight. Clearly you see a difference.
I mean hell the Ukrainian was eyeball to eyeball with Derek Chisora and everybody can see the great size disparity there was when Fury absolutely dominated him three out of three times.
Tommy's only 6ft, Usyk's 6ft 3". Your original comparison of 6ft 3" 220lbs Paris Fury was much more relevant.

Tommy is even shorter than Paris? Wow.

Give Fury a deadline or strip him and get the division moving.

Paris is around the same size as Usyk according to Henry Gypsy Bobbins.
Now, we can easily look up Usyk's physical stats, given he's a professional fighter, so can only conclude that she's moved up, rather than Usyk shrinking down.
the man is not much bigger than Tyson Fury's wife.

If he announces he's fighting the UFC guy they should

How old is that photo anyway? Tommy looks like he’s about 14 in it?

AJ-Francis is being mentioned a lot, mainly by Hearn. Francis has already said Fury’s advisors have told his people that they are focused on the Usyk fight.

usyk's the same height as 2 guys that dropped fury on his arse, about the same weight as the other who bounced him off the canvas
size shouldnt be a demotivator for tyson
He don't have the power to hurt anyone at heavyweight that is the thing. One can make an argument that Steve Cunningham was naturally bigger than the Ukrainian is, so don't even go there considering the Ukrainian started off as a middleweight in the amateurs.
Usyk has a 65% KO ratio. Cunnigham has a 32.5% KO ratio. Usyk has also fought a higher calibre of opposition. Cunnigham couldn't stop a 42 year old Frank Mir who had been KOed 10x in mma.

Cunningham caught Fury standing pretty much square on that’s why he went down

I'd guess heavyweight title fights are still bigger in boxing, but we saw the numbers for Mayweather-McGregor when UFC collided. I've no idea if Fury could make as much money from Ngannou, but it's definitely a handsome figure.

Which means he's right there at the end of the phone, and why (having read his quote) I consider him a possibility until Usyk's confirmed. Ngannou sounds keen.

My reading of this interview is that Fury is holding out for astronomical sums to make the risk of a possible defeat palatable. Or he is just counting down the clock so that there isn't time to promote it at Wembley, the April 29th date slips past, the Governing bodies start enforcing the mandatoties etc and it collapses and he boxes Francis Ngannou.
I don't doubt Fury's promotional team trying their best to make this fight. Sounds like a lot of hard work is going on but, for some reason, I can't shake the feeling that Fury is not keen to box Uysk.
