Tyson fury: The deadline has now passed, AJ fight is OFF.

[SN!PER]

GayJ got retired by a middleweight

Fury sounds like a true kunt
Can’t take what he says seriously cause it’s always bullchit
Loves the spotlight
I read some time back that he would be busy with his sideshow WWE
Wouldn’t even be surprised if there is no fight Dec 3rd

[Toffee]

I'm mainly baffled as to how Tyson or his team thought any of this was going to benefit him. What were they hoping for?

I mean, if he now goes ahead and fights Charr on Dec 3rd like everyone expects him to there will be a huge backlash of criticism which largely wouldn't have existed had he just said "Ok people, Usyk isn't gonna be ready till next year so I'm having a stay-busy fight in the meantime."

Was it just to keep his name in the press? Seems miscalculated whatever the case because he's turning a lot of people off him again.

My thoughts exactly. If he'd announced someone like Charr he'd have got some criticism but that's boxing. He's a relatively new champion who defended in a contractual rematch and then a mandatory. He's entitled to a soft voluntary.

It feels like they concocted this to avoid that criticism. And got it completely wrong and looked worse.

Also wouldn't mind hearing more from Chisora after their exchange at the Joyce v Parker fight. We got Fury shouting "you didn't sign the contract" and Del saying that Fury's team never sent a contract. That also smells like more Fury bs to me.

Makes me laugh as if people know all the goings on behind closed doors based on their own bias nobody knows **** about anything but i admit Fury is being a bit too hasty but people should stop talking so matter-of-fact like they are involved it's just silly.

We don't know the detail of what's going on behind closed doors. We know they're meeting to discuss contracts and networks... because both sides are confirming it.

But Fury's withdrawal isn't behind closed doors. He's delivering it, in person, via Twitter.

You can absolutely judge that.

Yeah, because you idiots actually think Fury wants to fight Chisora or Charr

Once Usyk ducked the Dec 17 date in Saudi, he set his sights on AJ. There is too much money in the fight for it not to happen.

Fury has you all on strings. You guys are far too emotional over a man you will never meet face-to-face.

I knew this useless turd fury was playing games all along. The fight fury wants is chisora 3! But what can you do. He is a gyppo and a member of a criminal race. He will always cheat the fans if he can get away with it.

Fair enough not liking Fury and how he's going about this fight but if that very same sentence "He is a gyppo and a member of a criminal race" was said about black people it would be seen as racist/wrong. Don't be a hypocrite/idiot.

Tyson Fury made demands that Usyk or Joshua should fight him in December 'Because he knew both fighters would have a issue with the date'.

It was a geopolitical move 'Completely premeditated', whatever move Usyk or Joshua made Fury got what he wanted.

If they take the fight? He has forced them into a quick turn around fight opportunistically. Which would of probably given him a false sense or genuine sense of security, that he is taking on these fighters not really at their optimal best 'They would be in condition, but their training camps would of been altered'.

If they did not take the fight, their reluctance to fight Fury in December 'Creates a narrative and sparks a public perception that Usyk & Joshua are afraid of Fury'.

But real honest boxing fans, and people within the sport. Know this is complete nonsense. Only hardcore Fury fans who are not honest with themselves, and members of the general public who have no idea how boxing works, or what it takes to prepare for a fight 'Can speak the way you are speaking'.

Usyk did not duck Tyson Fury. He specifically stated that he would fight Fury at a later date, due to his situation 'And the fact that he has just had a 12 round fight with Anthony Joshua'.

These are valid reasons, not to fight in December. Still Tyson Fury would not even negotiate, or move from his demands. If he wanted to fight Usyk 1000%, all he needed to do was move the fight date 'It did not happen'.

Tyson Fury if you take his wins vs Kiltschko & Wilder off his resume. Is a fighter who prefers to fight at domestic or high end European level. We are back at that level now.

Anthony Joshua's next fight without Fury, is a bigger fight than Fury's next fight without Joshua & Usyk.

- - Blubber already ducked record purses vs AJ, so the fight was never on anymore than Blubber Wlad rematch he ducked twice.

Blubber found his new level vs Charr.

Nice try Tyson, you almost had a handful of people believe you wanted to fight AJ next
