Never forget, it could've been Fury vs Joshua or Usyk this weekend

And both of them shat it.

Credit to Del for never ducking a fight.

Chisora has bigger ballz than middleweight and bodybuilder combined.

True. I will not buy this event, and I suggest everyone do the same. Time to hit these promoters where it hurts. A year of boycotts and see how quickly quality fights are made. Let's stop being mugs.

Less so than Usyk.

I think AJ wanted the fight, it was Hearn and 258 management that killed it.

Usyk however could've easily made this date. He made up a fake injury to get out of it.

Usyk said let's fight in February/March but Fury just chose easy opponent as usual.

Quack Quack.

You're not daft mate. I think you know as as well as I do that Fury vs Usyk was never going to happen in a 60,000 seat stadium in the UK in December. Way too much money left on the table with that option.

Even before Usyk said he wouldn't be ready till Feb/March 2023, Arum was talking about a Middle East date in that same time frame being the preferred option. Fury offering the December date to Usyk and accusing him of running scared when he turned it down was the beginning of the build up to a mega fight that will be far too big for a medium sized, freezing cold stadium, 3 weeks before Xmas in recession hit UK.

Same reasoning applies to Fury vs AJ, imo, which is why I never thought it was going to happen this December. Fury vs AJ, both coming off wins next summer, would sell out Wembley faster than Fury/Whyte, including the extra seating, and do better PPV numbers too.

Fury offered the date to Usyk and the Ukrainian made up a load of excuses to get out of it.

I know you're an Usyk fan, but just accept that he ducked the fight.

The fight was never going to happen on that date and Fury knew it.

Yes I am an Usyk fan, and I'm also a Fury fan, but I think he spent too much time cosying up with Team Wilder.

What Tyson is doing now - targetting easy opponents like Charr and Chisora while spinning a narrative that the guy he should be fighting is ducking him, is right out of the Finkel/Wilder playbook. I believe that - unlike Wilder - Fury actually intends to fight the guys he should be fighting soon. But I still find that bullshit annoying.
