Comments Thread For: Usyk's Handlers Focused On Fury, Not Worried About IBF Order For Hrgovic

[Queen_Leia]

Oleksandr Usyk's handlers are not concerned with a recent mandatory order to face Filip Hrgovic. Usyk, who holds the IBF, WBO, IBO and WBA heavyweight titles, is coming off back to back decision wins over Anthony Joshua.

If Usyk team isn't worried about the IBF order, that's fine...HE'LL SIMPLY BE STRIPPED.

He can move forward with fighting Fury next as the unified champion for the Saudis.

It look like it's Hrgo vs Ruiz or Hrgo vs Joshua next.

What's up with theses fights being held in the Middle East these days? Do they even like boxing over there, or is it just a money thing?

It's sportwashing. An attempt to improve the image of authoritarian regimes with primitive ideologies (i.e. fundamentalist Islam) by hosting popular sporting events.

There being four sanctioning bodies provides far more opportunity to fighters, particularly unknown ones like Hrgovic, to achieve greatness in the ring and financial success outside of it.

This idea that boxing would be better off with one belt like the UFC is a falsity.

They are unaccountable private businesses run in their own interests holding arbitrary power based on brand legacy. It's not a good system.

Fury is scared of Usyk! Usyk is scared of no-one!

It’s not “dystopian” - it’s the truth. Fury will fight the bum Chisora. Then he’ll say a Feb/March is too soon for him to get back in the ring to fight Usyk. Then he’ll say he can’t fight in the summer because he’s already signed up for a role in Sly Stallone’s dumb “Expendables” film or a WWE appearance - and give the “I never break me contracts” excuse. And then he’ll say he can’t fight Usyk in the winter because he hasn’t been in the ring for nearly a year and needs a tune-up fight to “get the rust off.”

meanwhile, Fury’s gullible fan base will eat it up.

Truth is WBC just ordered mandatory fights to challenge for the WBC HW Title
You think Tyson Fury can go thru all of 2023 without a Title Defense Fight?
Wake up you're dreaming.... actually put some $$ up on you're silly prediction

The difference between modern "democracies" and authoritarian regimes is that one side is simply being honest.

Also, calling another's culture and religion "primitive" sounds very racist, check yourself

You sound like a cultural relativist.

Fundamentalist Islam is primitive.

Be interesting to see what happens. I don’t get the impression Fury is interested in fighting Usyk at all it’s only because that fight was for the undisputed. Without one of the belts it definitely has less significance.
