Comments Thread For: Report: Fury-Usyk Targeted For February, Super Bowl Weekend, In Middle East; 50-50 Purse Split 'Is A Given'

[SteveM]

Usyk isn’t some defensive wizard. He gets hit plenty and always has, even back at Cruiserweight.

I think he arguably lost to Briedis too. It was a draw at best for Usyk in my eyes but he got the nod.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not downplaying his ability, he is elite fighter all round, But he’s never been the most difficult fighter to actually draw on to shots. He’s not some defensive master like some people would have you believe.

He's not defensive at all. He's in your face but elusive at the same time. Wilder's trick is his quick step forward after a break in action or after a reset - but everyone knows that now. He has a decent jab too. Can't remember why I'm discussing Wilder anyway - lets see if he can get past Fury first

do you think they will announce the fight this week?

I doubt it, I don’t think anything is confirmed regarding site fee offers

it seems a case of both sides agreed to fight and the split, now it’s a case of going through site fee offers from the Middle East

if it’s happening Feb, I don’t see an announcement happening for a couple of months

So not close yet?

Doesn’t seem so

All that seems to be is both sides have agreed on the split. I suppose now they just wait for the offers from the Middle East.

But if they have agreed the split and both willing to fight then, that’s the most important thing I suppose. Fury has already told the WBC he is carrying on and not vacating, so that’s a good indication too.
