Comments Thread For: Usyk-Hrgovic Mandatory Title Fight Ordered By IBF; Matchroom Requests Immediate Purse Bid

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

We're already getting the marination. They could be fighting in December but they're not. Fury wanted another pay day and Usyk wasn't ready but he now conveniently is. Usyk was a great cruiserweight and may be a great heavyweight but beating a shot Joshua doesn't prove it.

Usyk’s fighting him next you lunatic.

How was Joshua shot? He was a reigning unified world champion. AJ is the exact same fighter he’s always been, Usyk beats any version of Joshua.

Correct. Everyone who knows boxing, understands that Fury was being opportunistic with his December fight date.

Everyone, even the people who say he was not. I know for a fact that they were thinking to themselves 'This fight date could be a issue'. They will not admit this, but deep down when that offer was made they all had these concerns.

The entire boxing community and media, all were in agreement that 'A December fight date was too much of quick turn around for ether Usyk or Joshua after 12 round fight'.

Fury could of carried on negotiating with Usyk, and just set up a deal for a later date. But instead he went silent, and switched his focus to Anthony Joshua.

Only to finally be fighting Del Boy
Imo seen it already no need for hang on , not a second but a third instalment

Frank Warren eatin' real good! After Usyk vs. Hrgovic, Queensbury has the HW Division on Lock!

[Roberto Vasquez]

How did Hrgovic get to be a mandatory? He's barely beaten anyone in the top-20. Boxing organizations are a joke

Eddie Hearn once again stopping undisputed fights from happening. GET THIS MAN OUT OF BOXING!
He’s the worst thing to ever happen to boxing

It was Fury was who pulled out of the Joshua fight when Joshua had all the other belts... some small matter about being contracted to fight Wilder for a 3rd time.

And let's not forget Wilder has now admitted turning down AJ to fight Fury even though he was offered more money to fight AJ. Why fight a retired guy with no belts when you could have fought AJ and unified the titles? Hmmm

It's time fans got over these silly belts and just demand the best fight the best. "Undisputed" is a marketing term without objective reality anyway. I never wanted to recognise the WBO but silly fans just love those belts. It will be the IBO and "five belt era" next.

If Usyk takes this fight it's a shame and hurts him. Time helps Fury. Usyk is not getting younger.

The IBF are not legitimate. None of these corrupt organisations are legitimate

Fury & Usyk are not defined by their belts.

That may have been the plan yesterday but may not be now. Joshua's been gone since Ruiz, surely you can see that?

He’s no different. Go back and watch him get stopped by that 6ft short Romanian back in the 2011 European Championships. AJ has always been a flawed fighter, unfortunately it took many uneducated boxing fans years to realise that. AJ has always had stamina issues, no head movement and has never reacted well to getting hit- it’s who he is as a fighter. Usyk whoops any version of Joshua.

Yep.

F.uck the belts, just give us Fury - Usyk.

Please get a brain . Lol

I've always had one. This isn't some fantasy I made up. You can look at previous articles where Hearn says this.

I guess you have to cope lol
