Frank looks totally pissed off,, I don't know about anyone else , but looking at his demenour and body language , he looked and sounded pissed off about the whole thing and in particular Tyson Furey

He definetly seemed to be in there batting for Chisora , and with him having a genuine injury ,, but Tyson , dunno , he did'nt seem to impressed .. What raised my eybrows was when he was told , Fury has said no fight with Chisora for pulling out ,, Frank was quick to jump in and say HE'S CONTRACTED and he WILL FIGHT CHISORA ..

Dunno i think Fury is actually valueing himself a little too high , and could well be put on the take it or Fack off list from promoters .

Yup Fury needs to get a grip and get a couple of quick fights in to restore credibility as in the public and promoters eyes he is becoming a liability. By the way this doesn't mean I doubt the genuine reason for pulling out but he needs to make amends for his lack of activity and reassure his supporters that he has the temperamental soundness to be a world class fighter.

He was genuinely pissed off but like he says it wouldn't have happened either way with both Fury and Chisora having pulled out.

I'm not surprised he was pissed off, he thought he'd secured a good replacement opponent for the fans but the Chisora purse obviously wasn't enough for Fury to get in with the mighty Ustinov.
The 4 million purse he was expected to get against Haye may have given him a over inflated view of his worth. He keeps banging on about fighting Wilder but if the fights ever made he will be the B-side with no sign of that sort of money coming his way.

I bet Ustinov manager/promoter was also pissed as well, from the Tyson interview it sound like he had been training 8 week solid, with the like of Klitchco ect and looked match fit, suddenly he had a chance to leap frog the division. In this boxing world nothing is guaranteed till they step through the rope's .

A liability to the fans, perhaps. With promoters? Surely promoters understand better than anyone how fragile fights can be and how quicly they can fall apart?

Tyson needs to fight soon and utlise his training camp. He needs to stop believing his own hype and fight McDermott again just to get some miles on the clock....
