Comments Thread For: Frank Warren: We Could Have Played Waiting Game, But Fury Wanted To Fight

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

MOST OF MY day on Thursday was spent on the, for me, particularly unfamiliar territory of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, launching proceedings for the all-British WBC world heavyweight title fight between Tyson Fury and Derek Chisora, which will take place on December 3.

Franks played a blinder with using the Boxrec rankings to justify this fight.
Hopefully interviewers throw this back at him when he justifies a Yarde/Dubois/Sheeraz opponent with a top 5 WBO ranking but they are ranked 74 in Boxrec

Frank, Chisora three times ia not the same as Fury fighting Wilder three times.

The one trilogy was worthwhile and in demand, for the most part, and the Chisora trilogy isn't.

But I'll say this, it's a great payday for Chisora I'm sure, and on the biggest stage of all, so am happy for him.

Ah the old boxrec manoeuvre, promoter's favourite justification bs ranking system, even Pulev was back in the boxrec top 10 after loosing to Del boy.
Personally I'm happy Kanye is now completely out of the picture after yet another duck, stagnating the division & Fury is staying busy.
Casuals forget easily that Ali used to fight 4 or 5 can's between big fight's yet today's fighter's fight just 1 & casuals chuck they're toy's out of the pram. Mostly twatterers spilling over into boxing forum's.

Arum trying to tell people Del Boy is actually a better opponent for Fury than AJ (based on their performances vs Usyk), Frank telling you that you should basically be grateful for this fight. These guys just do not give a ****.

[Straightener]

Warren and arum are a match made in heaven

The fat 'Gypsy-Bum' was starving for his regular tomato can.

Fury can't win with some, can he? it's not sure yet what Usyk's plans are or when he'll be ready ( if at all.) So does Fury have to wait around for these fighters to recover ? I don't think so .Usyk and Joshua fought back in August and it wasn't like they were involved in 'the thriller in manila' was it? that gives both four months between fights! ...For their biggest career purse! Chisora is just in the right place and the right time BUT unless it's a belter of an undercard then I get why fans ,me inc. won't buy.

Theres other options between not fighting Usyk (or AJ) and fighting Del Boy for a third time surely? would Joyce have been willing to accept the quick turnaround? Sanchez? even fighting guys like Hrgovic, Bakole, Zhang, Makhmudov, Ruiz etc would have satisfied people more than this imo. So I dont think its a case of "Fury cant win" so much as him and Frank just taking the piss a bit.

You're wasting your time trying explain Facts to the head of the Fury Fanboy Club
No one is asking Fury to wait around we would just like the Champ to pick a better opponent instead of someone he fought twice already & as you stated above he had at least 3 or 4 better boxers to choose from
If AJ made this fight choice we would be seeing 50 post full of criticism of the event but Fury can fight anyone
