Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury: If Usyk Fight Doesn't Happen, Then We'll Go and Offer Joshua The Fight

[RoadMan94]

I don’t think Kev is on team Joshua to be honest. He’s been around here longer than me. Pretty fair in his assessments of fighters…

Well if I stand corrected, then I stand corrected. There’s that many out there it’s difficult to trust peoples intentions on here.

Fury responded to Usyk's call-out straight away and said he was ready to fight him in December. Usyk then claimed that he was injured and was 'hopeful' that the fight could be made next year.

So, Usyk turned down the fight, that's the fact.

Since Fury is demanding five hundred million pounds to fight Usyk, then why is he also demanding a December 2022 fight date which is extremely early for securing a record purse of any sort let alone a five hundred million pound purse? Add the two demands up (five hundred million pound purse and a December 2022 date), and it can only add up to a duck by Fury. A duck and nothing else. It is fact that Usyk first made a public announcement that he wanted to fight Fury, and if he couldn't get Fury, he would retire. Fury then declares that he'd only fight Usyk for five hundred million pounds. Next Fury demands a December 2022 date for a fight with Usyk claiming that there is no reason Usyk should not be available in December as if Usyk's, nation, Ukraine, isn't fighting for its very existence against Russia and that Usyk's desire to spend some time with his family is simply out of the question. Fury's demands are illogical and the only plausible interpretation of Fury's conflicting demands is that Fury is ducking Usyk.

Usyk called him out after the joshua rematch. Then when Fury told his handlers to make it happen Usyk said he would fight him when his injuries healed. No one is afraid of anyone. The fight will happen. You can bet Fury wanted Joshua to win because undisputed with Joshua makes x10 more money than Usyk/Fury. Now the Fury/Joshua fight still makes more money than Fury/Usyk fight but just not as much…Why the *** would Fury be afraid of Usyk? He has 50lbs, 7” of height & about an 7-8” reach advantage. He also uses hid advantages not like Joshua. Fury is at a different level than Joshua.

I mean, if you were staying both fights solely in Britain or even US, without a doubt AJ fight makes more.

If Saudi get involved though, the site fee offer alone would blow anything Made in the U.K. from stadium fights.

I aren’t here trying to call you wrong btw, just adding info I felt was important and wasn’t mentioned.

Immediately following the Usyk vs Joshua fight Usyk stated that he wanted to fight Fury: (Aug 20, 2022 — Oleksandr Usyk: "I'm sure that Tyson Fury is not retired. I'm convinced he wants to fight me, I wanna fight him."). Since that is fact, how is it that you now claim that Fury offered Usyk the fight? Or do you live in a fantasy world where fact is of no concern?

Usyk did say that. When the cogs started moving and people tried to approach usyk side to make the fight, Usyk isn’t fighting again this year. Fury and his side wanted the fight in December, Usyk wants either march or Early April.

Usyk has a right to state when he will be ready, So when he was offered undisputed fight in December he turned it down and stated next year basically.

Fury has a right to state he tried to make the fight for this year and usyk didn’t want it at this moment. He also has a right to say I aren’t waiting that long to fight and I wanna stay sharp and get out in December

So the truth is being stretched by Tyson to an extent here. Sure he can say Usyk has ducked me, but with the caveat of “For Now”

To Tyson, Fighting Joshua isn’t about where can I make the most money for it. I can categorically tell you now, Tyson just wants to fight & Beat Joshua. It’s similar to when he wanted to Fight Wlad.

He wants bragging rights and he also wants give us the british public a fight people have wanted now for a good 6/7 years. Tyson would of come back and fought Joshua instead of wilder if he could.

He just wants to silence the doubters and those that question how this fight would play out. He feels he has the beating of Joshua comfortably and he knows if he does do that, nobody can ever question his standing as the very best British heavyweight of his era by a country mile.

Never underestimate how much pride is valued in the travelling community. Fury wants Joshua for a lot of reasons and money is actually near the bottom of that list of reasons.

Mate, you’ve lost the plot. Anyone with a brain between their ears understood fury was just messing when he said he wants half a billion. Most people with some common sense took that statement for what it was. A call to let us know he isn’t retired after all and is ready to fight.

Its called gamesmanship, negotiating even to an extent. Only guy who’s turned down a fight is Usyk and even then he just wants a later date.

I’ve now broken this down thoroughly and offered you a much shorter Version. You shouldn’t have any more questions regarding this topic and depending on IQ Level, my comment should satisfy you’re search for answers.

You are welcome and hope you’re having a brilliant day.

Fury is going to try to **** Usyk in negotiations later if he gets this fight.

[M312]

The Usyk fight will happen but Fury's right if it doesn't then send in the clowns, not at 50/50 though that's long gone.More like 70 /30 now. Joshua really needs rebuilding though , maybe for his own good.

Why does it matter to you what the split is?

Just fight!
