Heavyweight Boxing

All this stuff we are hearing and reading is just speculation really, the only ones that know what’s going on is Warren and krasuk (not sure how to spell his name lol)

the only thing we know for sure is the fight isn’t happening anytime soon so we have joyce and Aj with their bouts to keep us entertained

hopefully wilder v ruiz gets made soon too

Gas how this is all speculation, yet when Fury was non stop jabbering a few months ago with his 7 days’ deadline to AJ, for some that was all above board and fact, and all AJs fault. Fury very quiet in expressing his desire for this fight.

you think fury is running scared of Usyk? Or maybe he just wants a bumper pay day as he is the draw?

Depressing really.

Chance for a proper world champion and they cant get it on. Look at Usyk's history - he has fought everybody on the road, mostly in his opponents hometown.

As a Ukranian, he fought Gassiev in Moscow. Clearly Fury holding this up.

This wouldn't happen or be tolerated in any other sport. Joke.

I sense a tribal feeling here it’s either for or against fury lol

dubois v Usyk will be coming soon 🤣

No idea...its just very frustrating the chopping and changing from him. Reading what I have read it appears that Usyk just wants to fooking fight.

Most the social media commentary seems to be blaming Fury on not wanting this

I actually think that Usyk is the kind of guy that doesn't give a fiddlers about losing and will fight anyone.

I think Fury might have some negative feelings about losing to a smaller man here. Maybe he sees Usyk as too risky a puzzle.

Kassyuk is meeting with george warren at the moment, otherwise their camp need to go with a mandatory.

The fight is worth whatever someone is willing to pay. Usyk agreed his purse with skills challenge, Fury didn't.

Usyk is reported to have got 75 million dollars for AJ 2.

They can't go to America because fury won't get a visa because of kinahan, so hes priced himself out of the market.

I could be wrong, but I don’t think money is the major factor.

The lads are vulgar wealthy as it is, and 50/50 sees both earn vulgar money. It’s pro boxing and it’s pathetic state.

I realize money is the driving factor for the whole event. My point was I don’t think it’s huge for the boxers themselves. I think it’s a team greed, as in many people dictating. Not just Fury and Usyk. They will be extremely well paid

With one governing body you do what you are told or you’re left out in the cold.

Fury won’t agree terms then no other fight for him gets sanctioned.

same for drug bans etc. No getting licences from other boards or fighting for other belts.

It’s never gonna happen but it would eliminate all the **** that’s wrong in boxing including the best being able to avoid fighting the best.

I thought Fury would a jumped at beating up the middleweight.

He had no issue fighting Chisora recently, and no doubt he’d be making considerably more vs Usyk, as well as making far more claim for his legacy…

Something has him spooked. It cannot be money. Sure he’s said so many times that money means eff all. Plus he’d have gotten a monstrous amount for this fight.

no one will fight for less than their worth, despite any guff from any of them to the contrary, hence AJ not jumping into the ring with fury at any cost.

I dont think for one minute that fury has any fear of Usyk, but it appears he is inflexible around his financial demands. He is the bigger draw to be fair.

This is the problem with Fury v Chisora type fights. Making easy money.

Anyone who went to / bought the PPV for that are feeding the problems with the sport.

It will be interesting to see what Queensbury have to say now
